Racks

[toddrswenson]

Looking to add some wake board, knee board, and ski racks to my tower. I need suggestions for best looking and economical options. Fixed racks are fine. I don't really need swivel racks.

Check out onlyinboards.com. They have a good selection and if you email with the owner Ian you might be able to get a little discount for buying multiple items. I got a smoking deal on my racks because I ordered them the same time as my new NDT tower I ordered through him. I went with a Krypt double wakeboard rack and and a triple rack that holds 2 wakeboards and a thick surfboard in the middle. I haven't tried but pretty sure that triple rack would also fit a kneeboard in the center. I think they have ski racks too but I am not sure. I went with the quick release clamps because my storage shed has width restrictions so being able to easily pop them off was a big selling point. I think they look good, function well and are sturdy and rattle free. I am not sure what you have on for racks currently but you can mount these above or below the cross member so you should be able to find a spot that won't interfere with flight clips if that is what you currently have. Here are a few pics of my setup:



In this pic the surfer is a skimmer so it's actually in the wakeboard spot and the larger middle surfer spot is open.

I don't have anything now. It all just sits on the floor which sucks. I was wondering if a knee board would fit in the triple rack. I need to get some measurements. Thanks

Todd, I have some Roswell stuff. All Roswell racks besides the kneeboard racks are 2 spot pieces. They have a larger opening on top for a surfer and smaller on the bottom for a board. The Kneeboard is a tall opening big enough to fit the pad as well. Not as many spots as the stuff Shawn is running.

I can probably measure that center opening of the surf rack for you this weekend. I'll try to remember and post it up.

I made this rack for the top of the tower this works well even with the Bimini slightly modified, (although we rarely use it) with kneeboard and surfboard up there that is usually enough shade. I made this specifically so I did not have to trip on the **** kneeboard. I also don't know why I can't put the picture at the top or bottom, oh well.

I like that on the top of the tower. Where did you get the clamps and rods to build it?

[jsta281]

I bought the clamps from DIYwake, the pads are off ebay, the square tubing from a metal store. There are a lot of little things to sort out (that were not obvious to me at first) but it has worked out really nice.

I got this one two years ago, and have no complaints. It holds the kneeboard and either a buddy's wakeboard or skim style surfboard. http://www.bulletlines.com/kneeboard...rack-p/271.htm Sorry the only picture I have is from an old phone my dad has.

Bullet Lines makes the racks I have so ski4ever and I are both talking about the same stuff. Glad he is 2 years in and still happy with them.

From the title, I thought this thread was going to take a different path.
