What the AI looks for in Indoor Surfboard Storage
- Mounting
- Anchor wall and ceiling racks into studs or joists, not just drywall. A rack full of boards puts a lot of leverage on the anchors, and drywall-only mounts pull out.
- Padding
- Choose padded arms with no exposed hard edges. Bare metal or wood pressure-dents fiberglass and epoxy decks and rails over time.
- Orientation and length
- Horizontal racks should have arms spaced to support longboards near their quarter points. Vertical racks need floor-to-ceiling clearance longer than your longest board. Poorly supported long boards sag, and vertical storage only works if the board physically fits.
- Arm depth
- Make sure the arms are deep enough for your thickest board, or for a board inside its bag. Thick foamies and fish shapes don't fit racks sized for thin shortboards.
Brands that matter
- StoreYourBoard: Broad range of wall, ceiling and freestanding board racks.
- COR Surf: Padded wall racks and surf accessories.
- Grassracks: Bamboo and wood display racks.
- Pro Board Racks: Wall and ceiling storage racks for boards.
What to avoid
- Storing boards near a window, heater or in a hot garage loft: heat yellows the board and can delaminate it.
- Racks that rest the board on its fins.
- Unpadded DIY hooks touching the rails.
