Post up some pictures/designs for a wakeboard rack in like a garage or home. Preferably a rack that holds multiple boards and is free sanding.

i second the "do it yourself" from home depot. made mine with 1 2x4, 1" wood drill bit, 18' of 1" pvc, and 18" of foam wrapping the pvc.... spent less than $40.

Made from 3/4" black pipe and foam insulation - mine is bolted to the wall, but I dont see why you couldn't make it free standing.

A buddy of mine made these for me. I don't know if he still makes them but they're sweet. Umali has a few of the smaller ones I think.

James Adams,
I have only ridden the 08 Roam once in Feb. and it was brief. I have an 05 Roam and love it! I suspect i'll love the 08 as much. I did not have the bindings set just like I wanted them when I went out in Feb.. plus I was trying NOT to fall! They are a blast on smooth water.

Ian.... that is great. How did you connect the bars to the main frame.

Ha! Ian - I was looking at the pic and recognized the purple surfer.

Less than 3 months, and you get to see my pretty face again! Lucky you!

I got the racks from Home Depot for 5 bucks a set. I've posted pictures before but can't find them now. I'll get new pics soon.

Ian.. I'm liking your set up the most so far. Of course Hahn's is pretty sick but a lot more was invested in those as far as money and time. Ian, if you could provide a little more info on what exactly is going on there I'd love to know!

It is just 3/4" schedule 40 black pipe from home depot, I cut the tubes and welded them together. After it was done, I covered it with the insulation foam for 3/4" pipe. Probably about $30-40 in materials.

I love this rack. Its for snowboards but works with any board. I can not for the life of me, find these racks anywhere anymore. Has anyone seen these or know where to get them?

So what amount of boards is most common for people to want to store? I understand some people have a lot! but would a 2 board, 3 board, or 4 board rack make the most sense for the most people?

Ghetto and Redneck. I like it.

My solution hangs from ceiling and cost about $15. I hung over the boat so I can get them down while standing in the boat. No ladder needed. 10ft ceiling height.

With this 10 ft bar, I have four boards, one knee board, and one wake surf board.

Ingredients: 2x 3/4 electrical conduit ($3.50), 4x 3/4 fit insulation foam ($1 per)(plumbing section home depot), and 6x 3/4 ceiling clamps ($0.50 per).
