You looking for these?

Kingsriver 05-17-2013 9:55 PM

I am looking for that exact set up? Any more pictures? Where did you buy it?:D

piper907 05-18-2013 9:02 AM

I make them.
I have changed jobs recently (lost use of a CNC machine on the weekends) and sold out of them for a while.
I have had quite a few people contact me about wanting a pair and I am currently looking into the possibility of (temporarily) outsourcing the machine work so that I can get a few sets back in stock.

Shoot me an email... corson (no space) piper (at) aol (dot) com and I'll let you know as soon as I have more available.
Once I have some in stock they will be posted in the classifieds section here as well.

CHEERS!!!

Would they work on a Illusion X tower?

piper907 05-19-2013 10:15 AM

Yes,
You could mount these racks to the round support bar on an illusion tower.

Kingsriver 06-14-2013 8:55 AM

The racks looked great and I my boards will stop getting beat up in the Side racks. It cost about $625.00 when it was completed and worth every penny.

These racks are better than advertise. Here are a pair mounted on my Enzo 244.

I have an 06 Nautique 236. Do you know if these will mount to my FCT? If so, how do I order the rack?

Drop me a line if you are interested.

CHEERS!!!

soonerbilly 11-26-2013 7:22 PM

just in case anyone is wondering the racks are awesome. I REALLY like mine.

22vdrive 11-26-2013 7:24 PM

How many boards does one rack hold?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

piper907 11-28-2013 7:59 AM

I frequently put 2 boards (in board bags) in each of my racks.

Kingsriver 11-28-2013 9:36 AM

I have put 2 boards as well in bags per rack. They are great board racks and I highly recommend them.

piper907 11-30-2013 8:14 AM

Thanks for the kind words!

piper907 12-06-2013 3:58 PM

I have 28 racks finished and ready to ship (just in time for the holidays!!!)
More information available and some photos in my classified advertisement:

Get ahold of me if you are interested in a pair!

corsonpiper(at)gmail(dot)com

piper907 01-04-2014 7:22 AM

I still have a pile of these ready to ship if anyone is still interested!

CHEERS!!!

DuckHuntin1 01-12-2014 6:14 PM

I have Piper's racks on my boat and they are the best racks made for carrying surfboards. I don't have to worry about dinging my rails on wakeboard type racks.
Buy Piper racks and save your rails!

rayatrogue 01-15-2014 6:46 PM

Just wanted everyone to know, We (Agenda Surf) are working with Corson to sell his racks in complete kits via www.agendasurf.com....We could use some info on which clamp size(s) to carry in stock. I know towers vary slightly, so those of you that have installed Corson's racks let me know what size DIY clamp you picked up. It's help us with making sure we order the popular size.

silverlude 01-15-2014 9:24 PM

Glad to hear this. Friend of mine has these on his boat,,very nice. Cudos to Corson on a fine idea, product ect.... Should work out well for u guys at agendasurf.
I have a Illusion X tower and with young grandkids we have the bimini up all the time otherwise, I would have these on my tower. Heck,,I've even tried to figure out a way to mount them at an angle on the side of the tower.

jaws 01-16-2014 9:10 AM

I agree with Brian. i have the same tower set up. I would like to get a couple of these racks. I don't want to lose head room by installing it under the bimini. Still thinking how to install them

piper907 01-17-2014 8:50 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I am excited at the possibility of being able to offer "one stop shopping" for my racks through Agenda Surf.
In the meantime, if you don't mind buying your clamps and pads separately, I have quite a few racks ready to ship out.
Drop me a line if you are interested.

...on another note. I have found that I no longer use my Bimini as I typically have three or four boards on my boat. A couple boards on my tower provides a good amount of cover in the cockpit. Just food for thought.

DuckHuntin1 03-02-2014 3:31 PM

DIY Wake really burned me in a bad way on my tower mounts. I received four clamps that were to large and that were scuffed. The customer service was nil so I issued a paypal dispute. With a few of my photos, poorly written e-mails from DIY Wake and some info off their web site I won the dispute. I ended up buying new clamps from Bulletlines. I told them of my issues with DIY Wake and the sent me clamps with rubber inserts that worked out awesome. No problems with Bulletlines and I would recommend using clamps with the rubber inserts. I have had no problems with my racks or good quality clamps. I went with a local surf shop for my pads so I could support local business and represent.

piper907 03-08-2014 5:44 AM

Sorry to hear that Reese... I have heard/experienced nothing but good things about their customer service until now. I have also used the clamps with rubber grommets in them in the past and they worked well.
The good news is that my racks may be available soon through Agenda as a complete kit... This means no more sourcing rack components from three different places. One stop shopping!!!

boardjnky4 10-31-2014 11:58 AM

I have a question for you on these. How would they work on an Axis tower which has only a single 3" bar? Would I need to get a 3" Clamp and then fabricate some sort of flat metal bracket to mount the rack to?

piper907 10-31-2014 12:50 PM

If you can get a 3" board rack clamp (that mounts with 4 socket head cap screws) then you will have no problem mounting with a single clamp.
I had a customer use single 3" speaker clamps (single bolt in the center) but he had to drill a small hole in the clamp and the rack and install a 1/4" dowel pin to keep the rack from spinning since it was only being held by one bolt. Does that answer your question?

boardjnky4 10-31-2014 1:02 PM

yep, gotcha

Finally got around to getting these on my Z3. Haven't seen them before on a Alpha Z so thought I would share.

Only one brand will let you carry a longboard hassle free. Thanks again 3 years strong

yodd_tost 06-28-2015 9:27 AM

It doesn't look like agenda carries these racks anymore. Anyone know where they can be got?

soonerbilly 06-28-2015 6:03 PM

I have two that are a year old. I'm about to get a cargo bimini and these would be hard to use with one. PM me for more details or pics.

I just got a pair off of Corson (he makes them and Agenda sells them). You can get some off of him.

corsonpiper@gmail.com

I'm setting mine up today -although still waiting on the tower clamps- and it's looking really good so far. Will post pictures next week.

I got a new Sanger and the bimini is over the tower so I flipped the racks like some others did in this thread. Bought the straps from Dakine (12 foot length) and it works awesome.

piper907 08-16-2015 1:00 PM

Thanks for the feedback Tom!
I have one more set of racks for sale this summer... then it will most likely be fall/winter before I get around to machining another batch. You can find them in the wakeworld classifieds if you are interested!

CHEERS!!!

I bought 2 racks off Corson earlier in the summer, and just got them installed about a week ago. I had some trouble at first finding clamps that would work with my tower, but ended up solving the issue with clamps that have a rubber insert. Recommend asking specifically for the rubber inserts when buying from DIYwake.

These racks have been the best upgrade I have done on my boat in a long time. They work gret with my boards, I don't worry about them at all, and they're quick to strap in/off. Very highly recommended.

LAwakesurf 08-26-2015 2:26 PM

Sweet surfboard racks! I could def use a couple

piper907 09-16-2015 6:41 AM

Lookin' good Andrew!!!

Scott, Let me know if you want a set!...
I just finished machining up another batch of these.

CHEERS!!!

Tigro 09-16-2015 9:01 PM

RPM_DLX 01-20-2016 7:45 AM

The board racks look like if you have a surf board on them then it would interfere with the tow rope while wakeboarding. Anyone experience an issue with that? Maybe its just the way it looks. I have been debating on this versus the side racks.

piper907 01-21-2016 6:54 AM

Hey RM,
This was one of the very first things I tested when I began making these racks. I have not personally had a problem, or heard of customers having any issues with this. Obviously it will be a function of where you mount the racks on your tower. The further from center and more forward the less chance you will have for interference. I have not had any problems towing wake boarders with boards in my racks.

CHEERS!!!

Corson Piper

wakechango 01-27-2016 8:26 AM

I have not had any problem with a wakeboard rope while towing. I did mount mine as forward as I could towards the bow.

DuckHuntin1 01-27-2016 2:17 PM

I do not have a problem with my racks either.

However the rope does hit my longboard (9'er) and has not damaged the board, only rubbed off the wax.

The rope does not hit my shortboards or wakeboards.


best racks ever.

1niceharley 03-29-2016 8:59 PM

Sent a PM Corson

SangerTom 03-31-2016 7:07 PM

I've used the racks on two different sangers and have never had a rope issue. On the v210 with a profilght i had the racks on top and on my 2015 v215 I have them under the tower with no problem.

piper907 04-03-2016 5:13 PM

so one rack holds 2 boards?

piper907 04-28-2016 1:40 PM

One rack will hold 2 boards in bags easily. I have had up to 3 boards in each rack.

calicalabria 08-14-2016 6:42 PM

Did you ever hear back from Carson? I'm trying to get in contact with him as well.

Does anyone know if he is still making and selling these racks?
