Default Yakima racks question

i have a question. this might be an amazingly stupid question but i want to be sure. i'm looking into purchasing racks for my car. and i'm going with these.
http://shop.fixxtuning.com/s.nl/sc.2...t.A/id.3102/.f
now. i'm a snowboarder so i'll also need to buy this.
my question is.. do i have to buy two of these? or does one come with the standard two clamps to hook up my sticks?
thanks.

The only snowboard racks I've ever seen use two of those clamps. Seems like you should be able to get a better deal somewhere, though. I got my brand new Thule from a local ski shop for 135, and an Audi factory rack for 75 used.

The yakima Qtowers come in a 4 pack. You will need the Qtowers, 2 pair Q72 Q-clips, the 48" round bar, the lock cores for everthing 6 pack or more, and the ski/board rack. I've got a set of Q-towers at my shop, and a ski/board rack at home.
You will need the fairing fot the front of the rack as well, at 70+ mph, the roof rack wants to lift a little, and you get a lot of wind noise.

you have to get the powderhounds to hold your snowboard, or the other thigns Session101 posted. The first link you supplied will give you everthing you need for attaching the rack to your car (minus the locks, need them). The powderhounds are the things that hold the snowboard to the rack (will also need to get 2 locks for these). Yakima sells locks in a six pack.
