Why Custom Surf Racks Are the Best Way to Store Your Boards

If you’ve been surfing for a while, you know one thing for sure — surfboards multiply. Shortboards, longboards, fish, foamies… before you know it, the garage starts looking like a surf shop that’s been hit by a rip. That’s where custom surf racks come in.

Generic, mass-produced racks might fit some boards, but they don’t always match your quiver, your space, or the way you want your boards displayed. A custom surf rack, especially a handmade timber one, gives you something built specifically for your boards and your home.

Made to Fit Your Boards — Not the Other Way Around

Every surfer’s setup is different. A longboard needs more spacing. A fish needs a different angle. A growing quiver needs something solid enough to keep everything off the floor. Custom racks let you choose the width, spacing, timber, and style so you get a perfect fit — whether you’re storing one board or five.

Wall-Mounted or Freestanding

Custom racks come in two main styles:

• Wall-mounted surf racks for saving space and keeping boards out of harm’s way

• Freestanding surf racks when you want flexibility or don’t want to drill into walls

Both options give you strong, stable storage that keeps dings and pressure marks to a minimum.

Looks Good in Any Home or Surf Shed

Beyond function, a good custom rack actually looks the part. Timber racks add warmth and character, whether they’re in a garage, spare room, or surf shack. Plus, when the design matches your boards, it feels more like a display than storage.

Built for Local Conditions

Off-the-shelf racks aren’t always made with Aussie conditions in mind — heat, salt air, humidity, or heavy boards. A locally made custom rack is built stronger and designed to last, no matter how close you live to the coast.
