Surfboard storage rack mounted securely to your garage wall. Keeps your boards safe, protected, and out of the way - perfect for Devon's surf community.
### Stop Tripping Over Your Surfboards
Boards leaning against the car, fins getting knocked, wax melting all over each other. Every time you open the garage door you're **playing Tetris with expensive surfboards**.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Proper board storage protects your investment. Wall-mounted racks keep fins safe, prevent pressure dings, and let boards dry properly after sessions.

### Why Proper Storage Matters
Devon's surf scene is growing - protect your gear properly:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Wall-mounted, fins protected | Leaning against wall, fins getting damaged | | Boards stored horizontally (less stress) | Standing vertically for months (can warp) | | Room for multiple boards | One board blocking access to others | | Securely fixed to solid wall | Falls off when you load a longboard |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Position Planning Work out the best spot - clear of car doors, at a height you can actually lift boards to, with room to slide boards in and out. ### Step 2: Secure Mounting Drill and fix using heavy-duty wall plugs or fixings. Surfboards are heavy and long - the fixings need to be bomber-proof. ### Step 3: Load Test Test with your actual boards. Check the spacing works, padding's positioned right, and you can get boards on and off easily.

Good to Know
> 🏄 **Devon surf spots** - Croyde, Woolacombe, Bantham, Bigbury, Blackpool Sands - we've got great surf in Devon. Proper storage keeps your kit ready for those firing days. **Paddleboards too** - SUPs are even heavier than surfboards. Make sure your fixings are rated for the weight. **Rinse after sessions** - Saltwater damages boards over time. Rinse them off before storing to protect your gear. **Winter storage** - If you're fairweather only, wall storage keeps boards safe and dry through winter.
Frequently Asked Questions about Surfboard rack fitting in Crediton
What type of surfboard racks can you fit?
Wall-mounted horizontal racks (boards stored flat), vertical stands (fins up), ceiling-mounted overhead racks - whatever suits your garage and how many boards you've got. Devon surfers usually go for horizontal wall racks.
How many boards will it hold?
Depends on the rack. Basic ones hold 1-2 boards, larger systems can take 4-6 boards or more. If you've got a quiver, we can fit multiple racks along your garage wall.
Will it damage my boards?
Not if fitted properly. Good racks have padded contact points that won't ding your rails. I'll make sure the spacing suits your boards and the padding's in the right places.
Can you mount them to plasterboard walls?
Surfboards are heavy and awkward - they need solid wall fixings. Plasterboard needs studs found and proper fixings. Brick or block walls are much better for board storage.
Do I need to buy the rack first?
Yes - have a look at what's available (Dorsal, Ocean & Earth, or DIY from Screwfix). Bring what you've bought and I'll get it mounted securely.
