How to Hang a Wakeboard on the Wall

You will need a way to store your wakeboard when you are between water sport adventures. Take advantage of some unused vertical space on your walls and display your board at the same time by hanging it on the wall. A wakeboard wall rack is an effective and safe way to display your wakeboard on a wall. Wall racks come in a wide variety of styles. Select a style that will complement the style of your room. Mount your wall rack securely to the wall by fastening it to wall framing boards called studs.
