How To Choose A Paddle Board / Surfboard Wall Rack – Buying Guide

Key features in a wall rack

  • Ensure your board has enough coverage. At least 3/4 of the board should be held by the rack.
  • Thick padded arms, typically made of foam or a soft fabric are important. These pads prevent your board from getting marked up.
  • Easy to set up racks come with the hardware that’s needed, eliminating the need for a lengthy, tricky setup.
  • Getting racks with a warranty is the best choice, as it will only be a one-time investment.

Type

There are two types of rack storage available; horizontal and vertical (side storage), and it’s up to you which one suits your style. With horizontal storage, your boards are stored flat, but they stick out more. With side storage, the boards sit more flush with the wall, meaning that they do not stick out as much.

Durability

Racks should be a one-time investment. Once the rack is on your wall, it should not take any damage, and the wear and tear from storing your board should be minimal. When shopping for your board, look out for high-quality materials rather than durable racks.

Indoor Or Outdoor Use

This will make a big difference to the rack you look for. For a rack for outdoor storage, you should look out for one which uses durable materials and can hold its own. Most outdoor racks are waterproof, but look out for a rack with UV coating, too as the sun may be an issue.

Strength Of The Rack

The weight capacity you should look for on your rack should be the weight of your boards + 20% extra weight. If you’re planning on upgrading your boards, then you can customize the weight of your racks, based on your customization.

Installation

Numerous brackets and screws can be annoying, and they should not be a part of your setting up process. Get a rack which can be installed on any wall, and one that only has a couple of points. Get your tools ready, and check if the board rack comes with fasteners. If it does, your set up process should be a breeze.
