Skateboard Storage Guide

The Ultimate Guide to Keeping Your Surfboard Safe and in Top Shape

Proper surfboard storage is essential to extend the life of your board and keep it performing at its best. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned surfer, storing your surfboard correctly can prevent damage like dings and scratches.

​

Why Proper Surfboard Storage Matters

• Protects your board from physical damage

• Prevents warping caused by heat and pressure

• Keeps your board clean and ready to surf

• Extends the lifespan of your investment
   

Best Practices for Surfboard Storage

1. Store Your Board in a Cool, Dry Place
Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can cause delamination and warping.
 

2. Use a Surfboard Rack or Stand
Keep your board off the ground with a rack designed to support its shape, size, and weight.
 

3. Safely Store Horizontally or Vertically
Horizontal storage on padded racks is ideal. Vertical storage can be fine if the board is secure and won’t fall.
 

4. Avoid Pressure Points
Make sure the board is supported evenly - don’t let fins or edges bear the full weight.
 

5. Use a Board Bag for Extra Protection
Especially during transport or long-term storage.
