Surfboard Home Storage Racks Buyers Guide

Surfboard Home Storage Racks Buyers Guide

Surfboards take up a lot of space around the house or garage. When boards are piled around the house it not only creates a messy eye sore but can lead to dings or damage. Luckily we offer a full line of surfboard home storage racks to keep your equipment safe and sound.

Horizontal Wall Racks

This is your most common type of home storage rack and lets you mount your boards across an open wall face in the horizontal fashion. These type of racks are great for the garage or up high on an open wall space. These are expandable and the bigger the wall space the more boards you can stack if you purchase add ons.

Ceiling Mounted

These are great for the garage and places where open wall space just isn’t an option.  In addition the rack is stackable so you can build on extra levels and expand the rack to hold more boards.

Volume

Knowing the volume of your sup is important in that it relates to your weight and what amount of volume is required to support your weight.

The metric system tells us: 1 liter of volume will float 1kg of weight.

However the amount of volume needed is relative to weight & skills. Thus we multiply a Skill Level Factor x our Weight in kilograms to get a recommended Volume in liters.

Skill Level Factor for Beginner = 2.0

Skill Level Factor for Intermediate = 1.7

Skill Level Factor for advanced = 1.3

Use this simple formula to find your target volume

(your weight in lbs x .44) x Skill Level Factor = Target Volume (Liters)

Example: You are a beginner looking at boards and you weight 195lbs. What volume is right for you?

(195lbs x .44) x 2 = 175

Board Volume (Liters) = 175

If you are a beginner rider and you weigh 195lbs. Your board should have a volume of at least 175 Liters to support your weight.

Suggested Weight

We use the boards volume to compute how much weight each board can support for a given skill level.

These are general suggestions and other factors such a width and thickness determine how the board will support your weight.

As an example:

The 9'6 Classic has 127 liters of volume.

The suggested weight chart shows:

As a beginner your weight should not exceed 141 lbs

As an intermediate rider your weight should not exceed 166 lbs

As an advanced rider your weight should not exceed 217 lbs
