We also carry bike racks, cargo baskets/boxes, and other accessories from Thule and Yakima.
THULE
Established in Sweden in 1942, Thule is the largest aftermarket rack manufacturer in the world. With factories worldwide, the rack systems sold in the United States are predominately manufactured in Illinois. They are the only rack manufacturer to crash test and stress test their products for durability and safety.
Their current system is the Evo System (released in 2020).
TRACRAC
Established in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1995, TracRac is the predominate rack manufacturer for commercial racks on trucks, vans, commercial utility truck beds, and truck shells in the US. Weight capacities are usually higher due to the heavier loads carried in commercial applications.
TracRac was acquired by Thule in 2010.
YAKIMA
Established in 1973 in Yakima, Washington this small machine shop made folding music stands in addition to car racks for ladders. Purchased in 1979, they refocused their energies on building the best roof racks in North America to carry kayaks and other sporting goods based in Arcata, California. In 2009 Kemflo Int. purchased Yakima and moved manufacturing and assembly to Nanjing, China.
Their current model is the Streamline system (released in 2016).
WARRANTY
These rack systems offer limited lifetime warranties which can only be access through buying from an authorized dealership.
Go Bananas’ Proof of Purchase is required when requesting warranty services.
SOFT RACKS
Budget-friendly roof rack options. Be warned that there is a possibility of water getting into the car since the webbing straps have to run through the car in order to secure the rack/load. Soft racks do NOT work with cars with flush rails, except for the foam blocks.

Round foam pad with straps attached at the ends. Recommended two surfboards or stand-up boards max.
MAGNUM SOFT RACK

Side-by-side surf racks. Round foam pads are about 14″ wide with straps attached. Recommended four surfboards (two on each pad).
