Paddle Board Racks

Paddle board racks are an excellent way to keep your paddle board in good condition while you are not using it. Even the low-end, economical paddle boards are an investment. Proper storage for your sports equipment in general, and paddle boards in particular, is a good way to keep using your items from one season to the next. The better care you take of your gear, the longer it will last. Even if you move up and get a better SUP, keeping your old one in good shape provides options for sharing an outing with friends or introducing a beginner to the art of paddleboarding.

Paddle Board Storage

Before we get into different kinds of paddle board storage, let’s talk about some of the basics. Regardless of the type of paddle board, it should be cleaned and completely dried before putting it away. If you spot any kind of damage, make a note to yourself to get that taken care of right away so that there will not be any delays when you want to use your board again. Clean, dry paddle boards should be stored out of direct sunlight, away from damp, at a reasonably equitable temperature. If temperature control is not a real option, at least avoid high temperatures. A climate-controlled attached garage is ideal, but there are other locations possible. Hold onto that thought because we will get back to it.

Best Paddle Board Racks

The best paddle board racks hold your paddle board in a way that supports it all across its surface. Without that even support, it can warp which would cause you all kinds of problems the next time you want to use it. Paddle board racks can be wall-mounted – either U-shaped holders or flat supports, free-standing floor racks, or even rafter mounts. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but they all share one thing in common: they can keep your paddle board neatly placed with its weight evenly distributed to avoid warping.

Stand Up Paddle Board Rack

One way to keep track of your paddle board and have it in temperature-controlled conditions is to have to use your stand up paddle board rack to display your paddle boards. Most paddle boards are attractively decorated and can easily be part of your interior décor, especially for a den or family room. Since people usually enjoy temperatures of around 72 degrees Fahrenheit, with only a modest amount of humidity, that means that your attractively displayed paddle board will share your interior conditions. Just keep that SUP board rack away from heater vents or plate glass windows.

Roof Rack for Paddle Board

A roof rack for paddle board is an excellent way to travel with your SUP. Add a board bag, and you have your sun and surf best partner protected from sun, wind, and small debris damage while reserving the inside of your vehicle for people and other sorts of gear. After all, a paddle board isn’t the smallest object to try to pack into a vehicle, and it is certainly one that can be damaged by the high temperatures in a parked car. Besides, have you even thought about the logistics of loading anything that is six feet long into a compact passenger vehicle?
Your roof rack is also a good way to be certain that nothing heavy gets stacked on your board, and that your picnic lunch doesn’t spring a leak and keep it soggy for most of a long road trip.

SUP Storage Racks

SUP storage racks can be used out-of-doors with a little proper care. “Out of doors” should not mean stacked out in the weather. A temporary garage or roofed storage area can be used, especially if combined with board bags. It is still important to keep your board dry, out of direct sunlight, and away from excessive heat. Depending on your location, that can be a tall order without a building to create part of the protective layer over your board. An open sided porch could be an option, or even a roofed gazebo. Any sort of structure that will keep sun, moisture, and some heat off your board will do the job.

Paddle Board Wall Rack

A paddle board wall rack is frequently the easiest way to store your stand up paddle board, and the prettiest, too. If you have a family of dedicated paddleboarders, you can even get a wall rack set where as many as four rigid boards can be stored at a time. Make it a part of a display that includes photos of your favorite outdoor sport moments, trophies, and other memorabilia. Paddle board racks keep your board in good condition while letting everyone admire the beautiful art patterns that are frequently part of the best boards.

Keeping Your SUPs in Good Condition with Paddle Board Racks

Paddle board racks are an excellent way to keep your standup paddle boards in excellent condition. Properly selected, they help distribute the weight of your boards to prevent warping. They allow air flow around the boards to help keep them dry. Strategically positioned racks encourage displaying your beautiful paddle boards so you can enjoy them even when you cannot be out on the water. You can even attach paddle board racks to the roof of your vehicle to facilitate transporting your boards. If you have hard paddle boards, especially if you’ve invested in the best, then you need paddle board racks for your SUPs.
