Are you looking for a good way to store your surfboards when they are not in use?   There are many different racks you can purchase if you have multiple surfboards.

You also want a multiple board holder to not only be strong but be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.  For something like this, you might have it mounted in a prominent area of you house, so you surely don’t want something that is ugly.  Simple installation is necessary also, nothing too difficult.

One such rack that fits all of the above is the Mac Racks Triple Surfboard Wall Rack, and will hold all 3 boards horizontally.  At around $90, it gets great reviews, with 5 star ratings.  It’s easy to install and takes approximately ten to twenty minutes, so you’ll have your boards up and out of the way in no time.

It’s constructed of wood so it has a nicer appearance that others that may be made of metal.   If you’re hanging three surfboards on a rack, you’ll definitely be looking for strength. No problems this is good and strong, with one review stating they store 3 boards between 9’6” and 7’4” in length.   By installing the support bases a bit closer instead of the recommended 4 foot, you can add extra strength, however it will all depend on what you are hanging.

Perhaps you would prefer to have your boards displayed on more of an angle, no problem. The Cor Surf Multi Board Rack will be perfect.

It’s also constructed of wood, stained in a dark finish, the arms are 14” in length and the racks height is around 18” tall.  This one comes with a guarantee that it won’t splinter, rot of corrode, and is reasonably priced at around $76.

With multiple boards, space can be hard to find. Either rack will definitely solve that problem for you. Both surfboard racks can be found on Amazon.

Need extra space? If you live in a apartment or somewhere with limited space, a ceiling surfboard rack is an awesome idea. Here are a few to get you pointed in the right direction.

T-Rax Ceiling Surfboard Racks are made of aluminum with a black satin brushed finish.  All hardware for mounting your racks is included.   No worries about scratching your boards, the racks are covered with quality foam padding.  They come in one board racks for $100 through to three boards for $120.  Here is what they look like.

Another novel idea is the Surfboard Wall or ceiling sling. It’s a practical method of storing or displaying your board.  Where other wall racks will jut out, if you are pressed for space, the sling will fits nice and snug against a wall and anyone can install it. It consists of two straps and two good sized screws to affix it to the ceiling.  Priced at around $10, if you tight on space and tight on cash – this could be what you are looking for. Here is what a sling looks like, this particular one can be purchased on Amazon.

The ceiling rack for surfboards, by Gatekeeper, is a nice neat modular design and will hold two surfboards or more.  The ceiling rack will store your boards in a horizontal position, and you can access your boards from each side, rather than having to slide them out.  The unit simply bolts together and you can add more racks as required, depending on space. If you have a high ceiling such as an exposed beam ceiling as in a shed, you could possibly had up to 4 racks, or a total of 120lbs.  There’s plenty of space in between each rack.  A neat part of the design is the turned up ends of the rack, so you can be sure your board is not going to slip off. This is one is one of my favorites. It can be found at http://www.dabco-products.com.

Storing your surfboards out of the way need not be a complex issue, there’s heaps of different ways to store or display your boards that are tidy and look great. Happy Surfing.

Scooter surfboard racks are very similar to bike racks and pretty much work in the same way. Unfortunately, they are not interchangeable. At least, I haven’t found any that are, unless your alter the rack itself. Surfboard racks for your bike, bolt around the seat, while scooter racks actually bolt into the top frame section of the scooter. In other words, bike racks have a vertical clamp, while the scooter surfboard rack is horizontal. This is the only main difference between the two.

The most popular scooter rack by far is the Carver Moped Surfboard rack. This rack bolts down into the back frame just behind the seat. It is a also a little more expensive that the regular bike racks. I haven’t be able to find many other scooter racks that compete with this rack. Most of the ones I have seen on scooters are usually custom made by their owners. If you are in the market for a scooter rack I would suggest trying Craigslist. I have seen some surfboard racks on there for much cheaper than listing price.

Here is a photo of the Carver:

Hand carved, custom made from mahogany, in an array of differnt and unique designs. I espically like the ones with the tiki man one them shown below. They look much better than the racks I purchased at the local Home Depot. They also come different sizes to fit just about anyboard you may have. Heres a pic of one of my favorites.
