I just got back into this after a 20+ years break. Went out and bought a good deal quiver with a Starboard Kode 122l, hybrid boom, 3X sails, 2x mast. And had no idea where to put it all!

We have a small shed then is full of bikes (pedal & motor) whcih would not fit the board lenghtwise. So I came up with the brilliant idea of sticking it all on the roof with straps diagonally.

Here's the result

Nice - no building stuff.
But - make sure vent plug is undone ... it will get mega hot in summer, and maybe board upside down and bag unzipped a bit won't hurt also

yes, windsurf gear is large
need to store it, carry it and travel with it
as mark says - keep vent plug open

for me a big deal is accessibility
this means how quickly can i get the stuff out/in before/after a session
also too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter to keep stuff in shed for me
i keep it in the garage on top of the off-season tires or hanging up high
the longboard stays outside = too long for anywhere except country basement or outside

maybe one day the inflatables will be high performance ??

Can I ask why upside down?

my guess :
to let any water drain without filling the vent hole

Hanging a board with fin down supported on the ends in a hot shed will either provide u with a banana board or a much increased rocker curve on the board

Good deal GrumpySmurf! I was trying to convince a friend to buy that package, guess he wasn't quick enough!

Epoxy doesn't start to soften until 80degC so I doubt it.
Myth from old polyethylene days.

got a trailer ready to be hooked up ;-) Takes less time and don't forget anything !

I would find another way to store that. My view is it's too hot up there. I woulod be concerned about heat affecting board and sails.

And when your board is very hot, you do up the vent and drop it in cold water, super suction. All boards leak to a minor degree, that will amplify it. Then again, all boards lose weight if stored for a while in a dry, warm environment, so your drying rate is also amplified.
