When it comes to surfing, having the correct vehicle can make all the difference. Vans have long been associated with the surf lifestyle, symbolising freedom, adventure and a love for the sport. By driving a Ford Transit Custom MS-RT, you’re embracing the tradition that dates to the early days of surf culture, and you’ll likely find yourself bonding with fellow surfers over your shared love for the sport and van life, especially when turning up to the coast!
Car vs Van
Surfing requires a fair amount of gear – from surfboards and wetsuits to towels and coolers. The Transit Custom MS-RT offers ample interior space to comfortably accommodate all your equipment. Unlike many cars and SUVs, the Transit Custom MS-RT can easily fit multiple boards inside, keeping them secure and protected from the outside elements. There is also space in the Transit to install custom racks and compartments to organise your gear effectively, something that you can’t do with cars and SUVs. The Transit Custom MS-RT is equipped with many versatile storage options, such as under-seat compartments and storage bins. This flexibility allows you to store smaller items like fins and wax for your surfboards without cluttering the main cabin area. Having everything available at an arm’s reach means less time searching for gear and more time in the surf.
The Transit Custom MS-RT also has enough headroom for people to change into wetsuits inside, making the vehicle more convenient in windy conditions or at crowded beaches and car parks. Additionally, we recognise that many users of our vehicles like to convert their vehicle into campervans, allowing them to sleep by the beach (where locations permit) and wake up ready to get into action and hit the waves. This is incredibly ideal for individuals on long surf trips or those looking for flexibility in their travel plans. Taking all the points above into account, it is clear to see that having a Transit Custom MS-RT provides a lot more practicality and ease of usability over a standard car or SUV.
Providing Style and Usability
One substantial factor of using the Transit Custom MS-RT for surfing over any other vehicle is the aggressive styling of the vehicle. With aggressive motorsport inspired body styling, wider arches, a menacing spoiler, 18” alloy wheels and sports seats with bucket style bolsters, everyone will know when you’ve arrived at the beach. Furthermore, the Transit Custom MS-RT has 12 of the most striking colours to choose from, which aids in either matching your business colours or the colour of your surfboard! The Transit Custom MS-RT also has many utilities on board which make surfing life a lot easier. When specified with Ford Pro Power Onboard, your Transit Custom MS-RT can double up as a plug-in power source, allowing you to power work tools and other equipment, without the need for a separate fuel-driven generator. With Pro Power Onboard, your Transit Custom MS-RT will come with onboard sockets in the cargo area, and one in the cabin in the handbrake area.
A Multi-Use Vehicle
We can’t all be surfing 24/7, so having a vehicle that has multiple uses is incredibly important. The Transit Custom MS-RT is the pinnacle of work and play. With its large storage space and ease of drivability, it can be used on the work yard in the week, assisting in carrying tools and equipment and then the ultimate play vehicle on the weekends, hauling some considerably more fun equipment. The Transit Custom MS-RT can be specified to have space for up to 5 people, three in the rear and two in the front, making weekend trips an occasion for friends and family. If you don’t require the rear bench, then a Transit Custom MS-RT panel van will be ideal for you. With three seats in the front, it makes the vehicle ideal for work and then on the weekends, there’s extra space for extra toys!
