It\u2019s time to bust that surfboard out of storage and get out there! If you\u2019re looking to catch some sick waves this summer, you want your stick to be in primo condition\u2014and that means using a surfboard storage rack to protect it from nicks and dings. Check out our top 10 surfboard storage ideas for hanging your board like a pro.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Finger Grip Rack<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surfboardracks.com\/products\/finger-grip-surfboard-wall-rack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adjustable rack<\/a> is designed to be reused and can store a wide variety of surfboard shapes and sizes.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2453 size-medium alignnone\" title=\"Finger grip rack\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finger-grip-rack-300x168.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Hawaiian Gun Rack<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This wall-mounted surfboard rack is padded to securely store boards and is easy to install. Plus, its minimalist design is about as stylish as you can get.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2454 size-medium\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hawaiingunrack-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Hawaiian gun rack\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Heavy-Duty Surfboard Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a longboarder or a poly board rider, you\u2019ll want to make sure your rack is rated for heavier weights and comes with a good wall-mounting system.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Modular Surfboard Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A modular system allows you to stack your racks, adding a new one anytime you buy a new board for your quiver. They are typically wall-mounted, horizontal systems.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Surfboard Wall Sling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Wall slings are a super-affordable way to show off your board. The fabric straps allow it to lie flat to the wall, saving space, too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. MountIt Surfboard Wall Mount<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This crazy cool wall rack can store a board up to 22 lbs in virtually any position with just two screws. Go vertical, horizontal, or even diagonal, and show off your board!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Vertical Surfboard Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got multiple boards and plenty of floor space, storing your surfboards vertically is a great option for easy access\u2014and water and sand drainage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>8. Freestanding Surfboard Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The freestanding option is great for those who don\u2019t want holes in their wall\u2014or those who are using a storage unit. You can even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/Short-Board-Surf-Rack-Upcycled\/\">make a freestanding rack<\/a> yourself out of an old pallet!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>9. Surfboard Ceiling Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Look up! The ceiling is a great place to store your board. Get fancy with a lift-and-hoist system, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mKxBoqp7mfo\">make your own ceiling rack<\/a> with screws, carabiners, rope, and good old-fashioned elbow grease.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. Multi-Use Surfboard Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Make your surfboard storage do double duty\u2014a rack with shelves or pegs underneath can keep together all your beach essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Placing your surfboard in a shed or car on a hot summer day is the opposite of righteous (it can cause delamination and weaken the fiberglass coating, dude). If you don\u2019t have space in your apartment to store your board, one of CubeSmart\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage\/climate-controlled-storage\/\">climate-controlled units<\/a>\u00a0is just what you need. And no matter where your board calls home, always be sure to rinse it, dry it, and remove the leash after each ride. Happy hollow hunting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-top:5px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/a-surfer-dudes-guide-to-smart-surfboard-storage\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/spicoli1-300x220.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"spicoli1\" width=\"250\" height=\"183\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2452\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Dude!
