    You could build one to your size and liking for way cheaper.

    I have to check with my step-dad, he made it. I believe he dremmeled out the holes on the base, but not all the way through. I'm not sure if he screwed them from behind, but they are slightly angled up, and he used some type of wood glue. They are damn strong.. they hold my snowboard as well, if you know how heavy they are.

    Rule No. 689: Building a board rack in your living room establishes that you are very single.

    screwing from behind sure is fun,,,,,, but i made one like that for my room out of like $100 of walnut planks and dows and it was super crappy, fell apart in months.

    The proper way is to angle at 45, run the dow ALL of the way through, and use a ton of glue. I learned this on the third try, but this one was made of pine scrap. This way the weight of the boards actually makes the connection stronger, rather than stressing on a screw in the back.

    Well it's a good thing I bodyboard... I happily live with my hot girlfriend!

    Well however my step-dad constructed mine, it has held up for about 2 years now and from the picture, you can see what it can hold. Also, it holds snowboards.

    Yeah, looking for the same thing. Got a sweet MTB board from the 80's and has some great glassing artwork on it that I want to hang in our nursery. I definately need something secure. Anyone have any luck putting those ring screws into their ceiling and hanging some fancy, nice look rope down and hanging it that way? didn't know if straight up dry wall would support that or if I'd have to find a stud in the ceiling.

    I actually have the ring screws, but they're installed into a beam that goes across my ceiling (idk why its there). i have the board hanging from bungee cords looped around it, and they work great. id like them to be a little longer though because the board looks like its almost touching the ceiling

    i have a 6'3'' hanging from my ceiling. idk i think a longboard might be a little heavy to support it if your not screwed in a beam.

    Just made these for my place. Will hold 3 longboards. Crappy pics, can't see the woodwork but has nice finish and edging. Real solid structure, padded supports to prevent board damage. Looks awesome. Might make a few and start selling them. Let me know if interested.
