Collection: Outdoor Surfboard Storage

Yes, you can store surfboards outside. However, it’s important to keep them out of the sun, since UV rays can damage your surfboard’s fiberglass and foam construction. You should also protect it from extreme temperatures and humidity. Use a surfboard bag or cover to shield it during outdoor storage.

1. Keep your surfboard out of direct sunlight as much as possible, even indoors.
2. Store it in the shade to limit UV exposure that degrades the materials and yellows your board.
3. Use a surfboard bag or protective sock during storage.
4. Consider using UV-protective wax on your board’s surface.

Yes—heat can degrade your board’s materials, causing it to warp, bubble, and delaminate. High temperatures will also melt your board wax. Protect your surfboard by storing it in a cool, dry place or on a shaded outdoor surfboard rack. Avoid leaving your surfboard in a hot car.

• The best freestanding outdoor surfboard rack is the G-Surf & SUP Rack. It comes in multiple sizes and fits anywhere—yard, dock, shed, and more.
• The best wall-mounted outdoor surfboard rack is the Sandbridge SUP & Surfboard Rack. Mount it to a fence or shed for convenient, off-the-ground storage.

The best place for an outdoor surfboard rack is a shaded, well-ventilated area to protect your boards from sun and heat damage. Keep it where you need easy access, like by the car or water, depending on use. Ensure it’s on a stable surface and made of materials resistant to rust and water damage.
