Good question ahawk.

I've had an idea of mounting my naish on a feature wall either inside or outside the house, I think the board and paddle could double as a good art piece when it's not in use. To me it looks too beautiful to be stashed in a cover in the shed. Currently it just lies on it's side outside - such a shame.

I assumed mounting some big hooks to the wall, but maybe there are some better ideas out there.

I reckon you've got room for one more board DJ........just

I have a rack above my car. It's a cross-piece with 2 verticals holding it up. It allows side access so I can whip the board straight off the rack and down onto the roof and back again. Side loading is good.



BTW. I am a bit of a neat freak and I hate getting my board dirty and I hate getting salt all over my car. Before I got the bag I was marking the board from the roof racks and dropping salt water on the car.

My method now is to:

Put the board on a piece of grass.
Wipe it dry with a chamois.
Spread the bag out and flip the board onto the bag.
Wipe the other side clean and dry.
Slip it into the bag and pop it on the roof.

I also chamois the paddle and put it into a paddle bag.

Another tip:

I carry a 4 litre water container. You fill it with hot water and wrap it in your towel. It stays warm for 8-10 hours and tepid for 24 hours. You can finish your session then wash yourself down with warm water.

I reckon the most important thing in storing boards is to keep them out of the sunlight. I have boards and canoes and kayaks under my house, in the dark, that are still in great condition after 20+ years. If I left them in the sunlight they would have been long gone....
