IF you were to build a board rack in the shed, whats better standing up or horizontal.
What do you RECKON?
thanks
Depends how much space you have, and how many boards..
I have both systems. Big boards are on flat shelf brackets above the couch, and the smaller ones stand on their tails at an angle to the wall.
I don't think it really matters to the boards unless they have a leaky vent screw, in which case flat, with the screw down is best as it allows any water to drip out again.
Standing up is heaps easier to build, and if the boards get put away wet, the drips are very localised. Boards stored flat on racks drip all over the place..
I also find that the standing up boards are easier to access - but then the big boards are heavier, and sliding them onto a shelf above my head is bound to be a bit awkward!
Have a look at "Sailquicks shed thread": www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40828
for some inspiration.
I read somewhere that you should store boards on their noses otherwise, over time, their rocker profile may change..
I can see where they're coming from, but surely a well built board won't change much over it's lifetime?!
I suspect that my boards rocker lines will change more due to the fact that I suck at landing jumps than they will from supporting their own weight in a nice dry rack.
Wouldn't storing them on their noses induce more rocker anyway? (if there was any change at all..)
I read somewhere that windsurfing is cancelled. Just goes to show that you shouldn't believe everything you read..
But I read it on the internet... It MUST be true!
