DIY Surfboard Rack - Free Downloadable Plans
Step by step instructions to easily build this project yourself.
This surf board rack has been a long time in the making and we've finally ticked it off our list of things to do! We decided to round the edges which we've provided instructions for - it's a little tricker so definitely worth having a go if you want to challenge your woodworking skills. If you want the quick and easy, skip the routing and just go with the straight edges

“Surfboard rack from Tasmanian Blackwood ready to go. Thanks @al_and_imo_handmade for the detailed plans!

“Hi Al & Imo, thanks for sending through your plans for the surfboard rack. Ive just finished mine and the plans were excellent and easy to follow.
To reduce costs I stripped some old 90x35mm treated pine boards in half to build the side frame, so had to paint them. I also used a liming white oil for the back board (old off cut of an unknown timber type) so the colour matched the Tassie Oak dowels.
Thanks again for the plan, look forward to seeing any new plans you have send out!

“Heyy guys, greetings from Brazil!! I’ve made my first ever project using your DIY instructions. It didn’t get perfect but as my first try I really liked it!! I don’t have enough space in my room so I made it 3-5 boards only. Thanks a lot!!!”
“AL + IMO,
Thank you for the plans for the Surfboard Rack.
I live in SoCal, Huntington Beach in Southern California.
I converted the measurements to Imperial. I followed them pretty close. I just made sure the proportions looked okay.
I have attached a couple of pictures.
Thank you again for the plans, I really enjoyed the project.

“I made your surfboard rack and I absolutely love it!! Thanks so much for sharing your plans with the world!”
“Al and Imo, Just wanted to thank you both for the awesome designs and easy to follow guides you’re creating! Just finished the first thing I’ve ever made with wood (attached) and loved the process. Onto the coat rack to match the board rack this arvo!
Cheers legends”
“We fell in love with the modern + simplicity design of this surfboard rack by Al and Imo and knew we had to recreate it!!!”
“Thank you, really cool of you to share the plans for the rack. Hard work but very happy with it, cheers from France!”
“Dear Al and Imo,
I used your surfboard plans to make this for a friend for his birthday and his wake boards. I made it out of Sapele, Danish oil finish and used decking sheet for the bottom as he likes to store his boards outside as you can see. Thanks for the inspiration.

“Hello friends! My son Tip and I built this last weekend as I was in for a visit. It’s not perfect and not exactly by your plans, but similar. And really not too bad looking. Anyway, have a great day! Hope there’s some good waves there as we speak! ”
“we love this design by @al_and_imo_handmade but we Tweaked it a bit for this build, went with bigger dowels for more strength and we did a lil’ different leg design on the front! Now, we will tweak it to fit bigger boards over 8 foot!!! So much to learn & grow from... That’s what makes building custom pieces so beautiful!!”
“Thanks for the plan -have made a version in jarrah-it looks great- putting it into action this week when I transport it to my place in Margaret River. Here is the finished product. Put some braces in and did not cut the check in the base but rather put the base plate across the flat. Nice and sturdy. Happy days !
”
“New board rack in, hopefully gives me more space in the house! Plans downloaded from Al and Imo Handmade.”
“Here’s a picture of the rack we made in May, in full use with all of our boards. Too bad it is more practical for us to have our boards ready in bags all the time but nice to have this dedicated space and also for the kite boards to air out after use!”
