SUP STORAGE

Proper SUP storage is important both for short breaks between sessions and for long-term storage, such as over the winter. By storing your SUP correctly, you extend its lifespan, keep the materials in good condition, and prevent damage caused by UV rays, moisture, or mechanical stress.

In this category, you’ll find everything you need for safe and practical SUP storage, from protective SUP bags and wall mounts to SUP locks that also help protect against theft.

TIPS FOR STORING YOUR SUP

Whether you’re storing your SUP for a short time or preparing it for winter, it’s important to follow a few basic guidelines.

Before storage, always rinse your SUP with fresh water and let it dry completely. This prevents salt buildup, dirt accumulation, and mold formation. The storage space should be dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight.

There are several storage options. If you have enough space, you can store your SUP inflated. In smaller spaces, you can deflate and roll it up into a bag. Make sure the board is not exposed to pressure from heavy objects or sharp edges.

SUP WALL MOUNT

If space is limited, a SUP wall mount is one of the best storage solutions. It allows you to store your SUP inflated and securely mounted on the wall in a garage, basement, or other suitable area.

A SUP wall rack saves space and provides easy access to your board. Many mounts also allow you to store paddles, which is especially practical in smaller areas. When not in use, some models can be folded against the wall to take up minimal space.

Many wall mounts are also suitable for kayaks or canoes, making them a versatile storage solution.

LOCK YOUR SUP WITH A SUP LOCK

When storing your SUP in shared basements, storage rooms, or public areas, using a SUP lock is highly recommended. A SUP lock is easily attached through the fin box and allows you to secure your board safely.

SUP locks come in different cable lengths and thicknesses. Some are suitable for locking one board, while others allow you to secure two SUPs at the same time. A SUP lock helps prevent quick theft and provides extra security both for long-term storage and when leaving your board at the beach.

PROTECTIVE SUP BAG

A protective SUP bag is one of the most important solutions for proper storage. UV radiation is one of the biggest enemies of a SUP board, so sun protection is essential.

A high-quality SUP bag protects the board from UV rays, dirt, and color fading. It should be made from durable and stretchable material for a snug fit and easy use. A strong zipper and fin openings are also important features.

A good bag allows ventilation and quick drying while preventing moisture buildup, making it an excellent choice for winter storage as well.
