So how do you guys store your boards? Coming from a family that 'forbid' me from hitting the water, I got to keep mine in my room to keep the peace. Is there anyway to keep the smell of wax from stinking my room especially with summer coming up?Or am I better off getting an air con especially to stop the boards from getting too hot (worried about them de-laminating in the heat)?

I was also thinking about getting 1 of those wall racks so I can just line the few boards up to save space. Cheers guys.

I made my own rack that holds 5 boards standing upright. Now i need another.

I'm in trouble if i get a sup as my ceilings arn't tall enough

I got 3 sets of wall racks in my garage.. Works a treat.

hey just wondering where you can get these wall racks from?

Cheerss

google is your friend oam have decent ones and if your handy make some yourself

i got my wall racks from ebay.. seller was "rack-it-up"

they work great.. easy to install.

those OAM ones are good though! mate has them in his house! probably nicer than my ones especially if its going inside.

I store mine under the house. It is an old house on stilts.

I made vertical (boards under 7') and horizontal (over 7 feet)

For the vertical racks I've just put dowling into a 4x2 bolted it to the wall and put rubber flooring insulation under it left over from the hardwood floors. All up cost me about $30 including a drill bit.

Under back balcony, side balcony, under house, in garage, in van, at friends house.

Storage solutions as you need them. The only problem is the dog fur that falls off the Labby onto the boards.

Oh, you can get the fin hangers that look like coat hangers and fit in to you middle fin slot. You can hang them in the wardrobe then. You can get them online and I know Star can get them in.

What is so wrong with your family that they 'forbid you to hit the water?'

That is intolerable newguy. It's your right.

Time to resolve the issue or move out. Not hide your sticks in your room.

Foam blocks, easy

Were's the egg go

Ingenius Doggie! Btw, the tail pad finally came off that board I got off ya. Looks like it couldn't handle waves when the swell kicked in

And Jon Cron it's not as easy as that mate. Parents are migrants, I've taken the household responsibility since I could speak english. I gotta look after the family aye cos parents have got me so far. Atleast it's got to the point where they just ignore me walking in with a board in my arms .

Sure is Stu



Thats a good pic of the engine room

depends on yr use requirements. If u r just heading down the local beach get yrself single covers.......if u are heading on a big trip o/s get a 2 or 3 cover n stuff yr gear in as well. If u r going to be doing the occassional trip and want to take two boards then I do not think u can go past one of these

They are a little pricey but they do give u flexibility. I love mine. You can get a decent single cover for abt $50 online these days. You can also make them fairly easily if you have access to a sewing machine or a chick / mum who is handy with one. Materials usually cost abt $25 from Spotlight - foam included.

Something like this might work.
