Hey guys,

I'm planning on buliding my own wakeboard rack that I can use to display my boards on my wall. Can you guys post some pics so I can get some ideas of what exactly I wanna do? Thanks for anything!

this is what i did. go but those little l brackets that you use to make cheap shelves with. all you gotta do is bent the tip up a little be and there you go. the board will hide the bracket.

Unless you are wanting to do this for a project/pass time, you can find "racks" at Home Depot for $5-7. If I remember correctly they are on the aisle with garage storage items. They are cheap, covered with foam so no damage is done to the board, look good, and come with dry wall anchors/screws. I can take a picture if you'd like.

check this out. this isnt the exact one, but they make one that screws directly to the wall and doesnt have the sliding track thing. same type of hook though, they work great for boards ive got 2 in my room

I use the bike hook. Works great board slants up against the wall and looks good to.

I use the bike rack like lfrider listed but it screws directly into the wall. Works real good and got it at Ace or Lowe's.

Use the bike rack hanger. Like they said above it angles your boards to make them look good. Lowes has the one that screw directly into the wall instead using a track like the one link above.

Here's ours, just made it from the Home Depot stuff, cost about 15 bucks for everything, got the vintage Maherajah skis up there also, the cooler shelf next to it was for our boating cooler that always kicked around the garage floor and never had a spot, I used brackets for a closet that has hooks that work great to dry out wet vests as well Upload
