Jason - I have a set of Mako's and I really like them (old style w/ the bicycle seat clamp quick release system). I guess they updated the quick release mechanism this year? Mine just take a second to take off and on and they seem to be very solid.
As for surf boards and hi rocker boards...Unless they made a new model I think you're out of luck. There is no way a surf board would fit in mine and I had a liquid force trip that barely fit the other day. So something with extreme rocker would probably not fit. I found out the hard way that the new concave wakeskates wont fit so I had to take my wakeskate back for the flatter decked ones. I see on mako's website
www.mako-ind.com that the have some flame style rack that is a lot wider that I'm sure would fin all wakeboards..but you'd have to watch and make sure the boards wouldn't hit each other. That is why they have the thicker middle piece on mine I believe.
Well I hope that helps......
ps. Mako really needs to update their site..... Maybe
www.wakeside.com or one of the other retailers has the latest pics.
