I just made a rack for my boards from some pvc pipe and brackets from home depot. It was cheap, simple to make and keeps my gear organized and safe.

Looks nice... you can also add some neoprene pipe insulation for additional protection for the boards.
Also nice board collection, How does the Ocean Rodeo ride as compared to the Flyboard?
Cheers

Nice work Ed. I need to make something like this.
How did you secure the rack to the wall?

I used the c-brackets that go around the pipe. The screw for one side of each bracket is into the vertical studs; the other end I used dry-wall anchors. Plenty strong enough for the modest weight on it.

I have something similar, but I just used the bigger J-hooks that can be bolted to the wall to hold my surfboard and twintip. Then I have smaller J-hooks holding my harness, kites, and bars.
I'll post a picture if I get a chance, it was really easy and allows everything to hang and dry if need be.

Good idea on the foam, but probably overkill. The pvc is gentle to the bottom of the boards.
The OR is my wave/chop board for moderate to very nasty conditions (I don't have a directional). The Flyboard is my largest (139 x 43) quite flat and fairly stiff is my lightwind (to medium) board. It goes upwind really well and has good pop, but is not to good in chop or waves.

Nice btw I like it the PVC should be pretty mild on scratching/damaging anything.
