Wood Brain Makes a DIY Multi-Board Rack Build | Paddleboards, Surfboards, Kayaks, & More



This year has been an incredibly life changing in the best ways. Lindsay and I have been pushing our limits in Prone Paddling. As of today she's only a few more miles away from hitting 200 miles of paddling since June! I'm trying to finish off the year with 700 miles under my belt between surfing and prone paddling. For most of our paddle sessions we've been borrowing my buddies boards, but now we starting to collect our own. With the boards piling up its was time to build a rack for them. So Lindsay took on this challenge and created a rack that would safely store our boards while they were out of the water. So check out this video that shows how she put her ideas into a final budget friendly project.


I built a custom DIY prone paddleboard rack to store our 12' stock prone paddle boards, and the whole thing turned out way better than I expected. Most of the structure is made from simple 2x4 lumber, which kept the build cost super low and makes this project easy for anyone to recreate. The roof is a 16-foot lightweight cover made by ripping down a 16' long 2x4 in half and adding corrugated roofing panels for weather protection. Everything is painted in an exterior white paint for a clean, simple look, and I wrapped the rack arms in pipe foam insulation to protect the boards while loading and unloading. This design isn’t just for prone paddle boards—you can easily modify it to store kayaks, canoes, surfboards, and other long boards or watercraft. It’s a strong, straightforward solution to keep your gear organized and stored neatly along the side of a building, shed, or garage. And of course… I picked up a new board, so now I get to modify the rack again. 😂 Thanks for watching! If this build helped you out or gave you ideas for your own storage setup let me know I'd love to hear your feedback. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more creative builds and experiments!
