A darker approach in our freestanding surf rack line, this flat black rack likes to lay low. Distinct in its styling, this (murdered out) rack looks great anywhere: in a home, at the office, on the beach with a surf school, and especially at a trade show booth. This rack will have your boards dialed in securely and looking organized. We had the experienced surfer in mind when designing, and this rack has everything necessary to keep your boards around longer by preventing dings and accidental tip-over scenarios that would require the services of a ding doctor.

This rack securely holds 5 to 7 surfboards as long 10 feet. We've designed the spacing to minimize waste, while allowing enough room to store the boards with standard fins installed. An everyday functional surf rack, it can also be an aesthetic centerpiece in any room. Reflecting the quality you've come to expect from Epic Surf Racks, we include a lockable bungee for securing the boards in place. Other bells and whistles include high-quality endcaps and foam protection at points of contact with the deck and board rails, ensuring a ding-free experience when putting the board back in its nest after a day of barrel hunting.

This surf rack comes with a custom-sized black-foam cushion. Not only sleek in styling, it is also functional, offering serious tail protection and preventing dings and long-term stress points created when storing a surfboard in vertically. A highly recommended feature, especially if planning to store swallow-tail, bat-tail, or similarly styled boards. Not sure? Feel free to call us directly with any questions!

Handcrafted lumber from top-notch kiln-dried hardwood, we put this rack through a thorough paint process to ensure that the flat black finish not only looks great but also wicks away moisture, making it outdoor friendly. We don't recommend leaving your boards exposed to the sun and the other elements, but you'll know this freestanding rack is meant to last for years to come.

This vertical freestanding surf rack safely and stylishly stores the entire quiver while minimizing wasted space. The best part about this rack is that you don’t need to drill any holes into the walls, so you can easily move it at your convenience. A tip: the surfboard leashes can be wrapped around the dowels, while extra fins and surf wax can be conveniently stored underneath the base, out of sight.

We've done a lot of work to ensure that this product not only looks great but also works great too. Our customers agree; we guarantee you'll love it!

hi quick question, the grassy rack, does it have foam underneath for protection? as far as protection which one is softer, grassy rack or foam rack?
+ Show Answer
Great question. To answer you directly the Grassy does not have any additional foam padding underneath.

Comparatively, the Grassy is pretty much in alignment with the Foamy in terms of their "softness" factor for protection.

That being said if I were a surfboard I would probably choose the foam as it just feels better.

Really though they both offer more than adequate protection for surfboards.
I have two 10 1/2 foot paddle boards will vertical foamy work with these boards?
+ Show Answer
That rack might be just a bit undersized for those boards, as it's meant for surfboards not Stand Up Paddleboards. Our SUP version of the Foamy or Grassy rack will be better suited for this situation. It's a very similar design just meant for larger & heavier boards. The rack is taller, has higher structural integrity, and greater width for the bigger fins of SUP boards. These racks hold 3 boards (instead of the 5 or 7 of the standard racks.) We could also do something custom if you'd prefer. Feel free to email us any other questions at info@epicsurfracks.com or Call Us Directly at 888-964-6646
Is this weatherproof?
+ Show Answer
This hand made free-standing rack comes with an all-weather sealant that includes a UV inhibitor. The sealant helps with the longevity of the rack if storing outdoors and with exposure to the elements. Like most products that are made of wood, your mileage may vary depending on how much exposure (Sun, Wind, Salt, Moisture) it has to the elements and how frequent. However, that being said we've personally kept these in the outdoors by the beach in Southern California with a lot of direct contact to sun and moisture, and they have held up without fail for several years.

Apologies for the long-winded response. However, we wanted to clarify this and also point out that nothing is truly "weatherproof" to set expectations appropriately. These have been a highly popular product and think you will be stoked on them, but If you have any further concern please don't hesitate to call us directly at 888-964-6646 or email info@epicsurfracks.com and we'd be happy help.
Hi is it possible to dismantle the rack?
+ Show Answer
Yes, this rack usually ships flat-packed, with a simple assembly process that includes color-coded stickers. So it makes it easy if you need to ever disassemble and move at a later point.
Looking at the 5 board so the height of the rack is 42 and the depth is 24 ? Its going in the garage and want to make sure I can still get the car in. So it will stick out from the wall 24 inches? thanks
+ Show Answer
Yes, the furthest from the wall it comes out is 24".

However, if you have wider boards (retro fishes / longboards) the boards themselves may come out past this 24" point. Please measure accordingly (+4" over your board width for enough wiggle room.)
What is the width for each partition? If I keep my boards in board bags, will each slot hold 1 board in bag?
+ Show Answer
The workable space in each slot of this rack is just over 4.5". We've seen people store boards in their bags with no problems.

However, it also could be a little tight, as it will come down to how thick each of your boards are, and how thick the board bags are.

If they're on the thicker side 3"+ we coud aways do a custom rack for a little more, so you'll have plenty of wiggle room.
What is the spacing in between the dowels on the 7 board vertical rack? Some of my boards are thinner than others so wondering if I may be able to fit two in one slot. thanks in advance.
+ Show Answer
The 'workable' space between dowels on the 7 board rack (also the same for the 5 board version) is just under 4.5".

Some people have been able to squeeze 2 (thin) boards into each slot, but could be tight. There are a lot of variables in terms of where the rocker is placed, and how the deck of the board has been shaped. For general consideration I wouldn't recommend it, as a tight fight will cause pressure on the boards (potentially decreasing the longevity of the board's glass job.)

We could however make something custom for you, with wider dowel spacing so that 2 boards can comfortably fit into each slot, though this will increase the price for the unit itself, and potentially the shipping cost. If you'd like to explore options for this you can fill out our custom order request form here.
I see the measurements for the 7 board rack are 42x46x24. Curious to know if the rack is 42" or 46" wide. So I can figure out where I can fit one against the wall. Thanks!
+ Show Answer
The size for the 7-board vertical freestanding rack is:
- 42" High
- 46" Wide
- 24" Deep
The size for the 5-board freestanding rack is:
- 42" High
- 34" Wide
- 24" Deep
Hi, Will this 5 board rack fit 5 SUP surf boards? All under 9 feet and max thickness is 4 inches. Thanks!
+ Show Answer
Though it may seem to fit, we don't recommend it, as the width of the SUP doesn't allow the board to be stored correctly. The ergonomics of this rack were not designed to hold SUP.

We recommend using the 3-Board Foamy - SUP version instead.

You can also email us at info@epicsurfracks.com and we can modify this rack to suit your needs.

Whats the difference between the two freestanding surf racks you have on your website? I live in San Diego and want to purchase a rack asap. Im looking at the two 5 rack vertical options.

+ Show Answer
There are essentially two options available for our freestanding surf racks. These are Horizontal Loading, and Vertical Loading.

The Vertical Loading racks made of wood are all hand-built in San Diego, and are designed to economize space, all while looking great. We have many colors and styles to choose from, something to match any room's furnishings.

The Horizontal Loading racks have two further designs. A Metal version and a Wood/Metal version. The former are made overseas hence the cheaper pricing, but the quality is still really nice. The Wood/Metal versions are hand-made in San Diego, and are typically wood grain, but can be customized to any color / style desired. Just go to our 'Custom Order' tab at the top of our page, and you can request a quote for what you're looking for.

One major difference is the Horizontal loading racks can accommodate both Surfboards, and Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP.) While the Vertical loading racks are suitable for surfboards up to 10' in legnth, and are more designed around efficiency of space.

As for living in San Diego, you can simply choose "Local Pickup" option during checkout, and avoid any shipping. Some of these racks come fully assembled upon request.

We love it!

Just want to say thank you for this awesome surf board rack. We love it!
