why don't you try the ones they use for surfboards, just put them closer together so you can fit the fins over the ends. the ones i've seen just drill into the concrete wall!

Go to the local timber store buy 2 2x4's the same length as the height of your walls and some 22mm doweling. Drill holes into the 2x4 for the doweling and a couple holes for some bolts. Drill bolt holes in walls bolt 2x4's to wall and glue doweling into pre-drilled holes using water soluble wood glue.

Simple, easy and cheep.

depending on how many you want, i have a rack that holds 5 guitars that would be perfect for 5 boards. Your local music shop would have them in stock. They are fully padded up so no scratches.

I think I remember the rack you had in mind, it was basically a piece of plywood with slots to fit the boards in at a slight angle. It looked pretty slick because it was lasercut, but a jigsaw and some sandpaper would do as nice a job.

If DIY isn't your thing you could always commission me to design and build a custom board rack....

Not sure if they're sold over here but shipping won't cost you too much.



Is it just me or does that red board have its footpads on the wrong sides?

Well spotted Pat. Classic!

I'm getting flashbacks of working on TV commercials just thinking about it! Aaaaargh!

I saw it at the Aussie Pro Tour wakeboarding (APTW) @ SouthBank not even a month ago and it was either:

Dan Watkins DJV Dejavu board rack or a Liquid Force wakeboard rack.

Forget which stand it was at. However it was sweeeeeeeet!

**Before any other invention like this came out I bought those plastic covered wall brackets (2pk)..... I'm sure yall know their technical name, but they look like an 'L' turned to the left and screwed into the wall. It's about 180mm on the longest side, and the lip is about 30mm. It holds my kiteboard and surfboard. Kiteboard lives in the car now., and it's perfect for my surfboard.
