In principle, you can use your reacha without any bows if your load is made of "one piece" and you can therefore tie it to the frame or the platform so that it cannot touch the tyres. A single bow is recommended if you want to transport objects on edge. If you are transporting a lot of small or bulky items that sometimes bulge out sideways, we recommend two bows including a bow cover so that your cargo space is separated from the tyres. Especially with inflatable SUPs you can make sure that it doesn't get to the tyres. Here you can see the reacha SHORT with two bows recycled attached, so protect the inflatable board and stuff wings, wetsuits etc. in between.
