First time surfing in a Volvo 240

Posted by AlternativeMart on

It's my first time in a car and I don't know how to load my board.

The Volvo 240 has always been popular with surfers.

I didn't buy it after looking at the actual dimensions of the luggage compartment.

So, first of all, let's expand the luggage space.

First, here is the Volvo 240 in its basic state with the back seats installed.

Push the metal fittings in the rear seat

Move the seat in front of you all the way forward and then fold the seat forward.

Remove the rear seat headrests

Fold the seat back forward to create a spacious luggage compartment!

This was the first time I was able to measure the dimensions.

Length (from rear door to seat) 190cm

Width (rear door width) 115cm

Height (from floor to luggage compartment ceiling) 75cm

The diagonal length of the luggage compartment is 220cm

And from the luggage compartment to the dashboard

I found that if you put the board in straight, it's fine up to 280cm.

So if you want a length of just 9 feet

You can load things inside the car with someone in the passenger seat without any special effort!

This is the result of a lot of trial and error.

Hmm, I'd like to stack the pieces in a more systematic way.

The long board in the middle is 7'4 and has plenty of room in the front.

The short group on the left are 5'7 and 6'4.

In calculations, excluding the thickness of the case,

If the length is up to 6'2, you can just insert it straight in.

If you let the board move freely in the car,

I want to put a rack or something in the car because it's causing crashes.

After that, when you receive your longboard etc. at customs

The question is what will happen.

Maybe install a roof rack

Might have to put it on the roof.

On this day, we moved to a spot where we could catch the swells.

Well, I was kind of stressed out.

So is this going to mean the double payback project will start or not?
