Surfboard Storage

[richardl]

What is the ideal temperature to store boards?
Will lying flat in covers on top of each other have any impact on the shape?

[fong]

interestin question i'll guess u talkin about fibreglass not boogies :?

i' don't think staking boards on top will do any harm....as far as temp goes...well if it's brandnew board....warm is ideal :?

personaltly ( or howeva u spell it...sorry lambchops ,vandal and larry)

have recently created an attic and worried it might get a bit hot up there for them.

Keep them out of the sun and as far away from high temperatures as possible.

the storage conneisseur can purchase a humidified cabinet (glass door optional) whereby all climactic influences are rendered helpless against your precious quiver...

retails for only $2,995.95 and can double as storage for your collection of grange !

Fong you dong, the topic is ‘storing surfboards’, not boogies.
‘Personality’, you have more than enough for all of us personally, I think you are just a trouble maker
You store your boards off the floor so you don’t trip over them when you come home with a skin full from the RSL. On the ceiling, interspaced with the mirrors in the bedroom I’m thinking.

I ain’t puttin’ my Grange in no fancy coolin’ device... lying down quietly in a cool dark place, never to be consumed... anyone want to buy an ’87 vintage (Bin 95):?:

Can’t bring myself to drink a bottle of wine that retails for $450!

my dad got a few bottles of really expensive old grange from his dad that he had been keeping for years and years. we decided to celebrate and open up one, and it had turned to shit, it tasted like vinegar and battery acid. you should have seen grandpa's face! i reckon unless those old bottles of grange have been immaculately looked after, eople are buying and selling $300 bottles of battery acid.

as for boards, do you reckon tieing all your boards down on the roof of your car on say a 6hr car trip would warp the rocker?

Geeze youse too gals can't you leave me out of anything :?


p.s I'd think the best place to store em is in salt water .... I got the stats on this somewhere about salinity/temp and the best place from memory is Coffs Harbour

[Beanpole]

I was just wondering the sarvo do you think boards in a good board cover get hotter on the roof of the car on a really hot day or in the car?
Obviously the temps higher inside but the sun isn't beating down on the cover so maybe it stays insulated

Personal experience BP, I warped the crap out of a board leaving it in the back of the station wagon on a hot day.

Remember watching a Mythbusters program and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of a car on a hot day is fairly substantial. The outside stays influenced by the ambient temp, but the inside acts like an oven and keeps getting hotter.

I’ve certainly scorched a few in my car, but it is generally only the extremities where the sun can get directly onto them and the foam has usually been more shaped, so shrinkage can be a problem. Bit like cold water and your bits... :?
