Thank you so much for your help in ordering the Gatekeeper. My boyfriend is very pleased with your product and super impressed with the design. I cannot tell you how happy he is that he now can bring his board to work and surf wherever he’d like on his way home without losing an ounce of daylight time.

My wife, Patty gave me two Gatekeepers for Christmas. Because I live in Ft. Lauderdale, I travel at least 50 miles to surf several times a week. A couple times a month I go to Indialantic in Central FL for 2 to 3 days of waves. Your Locking Racks are mandatory and the answer to my biggest problem: WHICH BOARD TO TAKE? Long or short? With Florida waves, you never know. THANK YOU THANK YOU and THANKS. Thanks to you I can surf my longboard at high tide and my shortboard at low.

Thanks so much for inventing a much needed item. This is by far the most important surfing accessory I have.
I have done many impromptu Gatekeeper demos in parking lots. People approach me all the time asking about it. I show them how easy it is to install and use. When they ask if it’s expensive, I say “Much less than the cost of replacing my favorite board. The peace of mind is priceless.”
With my Gatekeeper Rack, I’m ready to surf anytime.

We have been really happy with our Racks and use them most weekends when we travel to Byron to surf, and then shop – we feel at ease knowing that our boards are safely locked up. We also have taken them on holidays up the Coast and stayed in caravan parks with our boards safe in the Racks (as they don’t quite fit in our tent).

Gatekeeper Locking Surf Racks are by far the best locking system on the market! I use a variety of boards (foam, shortboards, longboards) for my special needs therapeutic surf instruction and this product keeps them safe and secure for those kids who really need it. Thanks DABCO…for helping Pure Vibes get their boards out to our disabled kids! Keep those Pure Vibes flowing Bradda;-)

Love it…I’ve had my 10’-0” in the back of my truck for months. The only problem is that someone tried to get it out and couldn’t, so they punched the bottom of my board. I can see the knuckle prints in the glass…oh well, it must have ______ them off that they couldn’t steal it ;-) Sucks to be them, eh? I have a new 6’-10” and want the Gatekeeper for my bed…I haven’t put the board in diagonal yet to see if it will fit…will let you know when I do.

Not real exciting pics, but the client is real happy with your stuff and this set-up; especially with the quality of your materials and the ease of their use.

Just installed my Gatekeeper tailgate rack. Took all of 10 minutes. The instructions were concise and precise and the parts are all top quality.

Greetings! Ya’ll called earlier and asked my opinion of my Rack. Well here it is: I love it. I drove from DC down to Jacksonville, FL, making several stops along the way at other coastal towns. This being my maiden voyage with my new Rack, I felt totally at ease parking my vehicle in the middle of a bustling town with no fear of it growing legs. I also found it completely useful when I would park my car, run to check the break and then run back. No more unloading, placing in car and then unloading and restrapping to roof. All in all, I am very pleased and would gladly provide my recommendations of your product anytime.

So I Go to San Diego every three weeks. I have rental property, so I need to lock my board up after surfing so I can go to my properties. Saturday I surfed in the morning at Carlsbad, then locked up my board to go work on the houses…..I go to Home Depot, eat, other places, and NEVER have to worry about someone stealing my board now that I have the locking system.
Here’s a picture after a long day-board and fin still there!! 9:00 at night..So now I can surf with No worries !! THANKS!

Overall, I’m quite impressed with the product; very high quality and well thought our. We just got back from a short trip to Mexico and the whole time we felt totally secure with the boards locked in the back. Thanks again for extending the Los Angeles County Lifeguards a discount.

Thanks. I received the Cable Lock I ordered just in time for my surf trip up the California coast…it worked great!! No hassles here…
Gatekeeper Cable Lock user – KH from Santee, CA
Took me a while to get the Gatekeeper installed, but once I went out there, I was done in five minutes. I am very pleased with it. Works well and I don’t worry about my one-of-a-kind board at all. In fact, I’m now taking it out more often, instead of my inexpensive board, because I’m not concerned about theft. Thanks for the product!
Gatekeeper Tailgate user – SA from Santee, CA
Yes, I received the Cable Lock. It works great. I have a 8’-6” Stewart Hydro Glide and will be buying another in the future. Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for sending the Tailgate Rack and Cable lock. Kevin was really stoked to be able to lock his board. Now there are two of us who know how they work and how easy the installation is.
