How to Choose the Perfect Surfboard Wall Mount for Your Space

Choosing the right surfboard wall mount is one of the most important decisions you'll make for displaying your board. The wrong mount can damage your board, look out of place in your home, or worse - fail completely. The right mount protects your investment while turning your surfboard into a stunning piece of wall art. Here's everything you need to know to choose the perfect mount for your space and your board. Step 1: Measure Your Space and Your Board Before anything else, measure your available wall space and your surfboard. Surfboards can be displayed horizontally or vertically depending on your ceiling height and wall width. For shortboards (under 7 feet): Horizontal mounting works beautifully and takes up less vertical space. Our Horizontal Mounts are perfect for this. For longboards (7+ feet): Vertical mounting is often the best solution, especially in rooms with standard ceiling heights. Check out our Waves 2.0 Vertical Mounts designed specifically for longboards. Make sure there's enough clearance around the board - at least 30cm on each side - for maximum visual impact. Step 2: Match Your Interior Style Your mount's finish should complement your existing décor. We offer three premium hardwood finishes, each with its own character: White Oak: Light, warm tones perfect for Scandinavian, coastal, and minimalist interiors. Works beautifully with white walls and natural textures. Shop White Oak Mounts Walnut: Rich, deep brown finish that adds sophistication to modern, industrial, and mid-century spaces. Creates stunning contrast against light walls. Shop Walnut Mounts Black Oak: Contemporary dark finish perfect for modern and masculine interiors. Sleek and dramatic.

A vintage wooden longboard weighs significantly more than a modern epoxy shortboard. All our mounts are engineered to safely support substantial weight, but it's important to choose the right style: For heavy longboards: Our Waves 2.0 vertical mounts distribute weight evenly and are specifically designed for larger boards. For shortboards and fish: Our horizontal mounts provide perfect support with a sleek, minimal profile.

Step 4: Think About Installation Consider your wall type - drywall, brick, or concrete - as this affects installation. All our mounts include complete mounting hardware for secure installation into studs or with wall anchors. For detailed installation instructions, check our step-by-step installation guide. Our Recommendation: Start Here If you're unsure, we recommend: For most shortboards: Oak Horizontal Mount - versatile, beautiful, works with any interior For longboards: White Oak Waves 2.0 Vertical Mount - specifically designed for vertical longboard display For modern interiors: Black Oak Horizontal Mount - sleek and contemporary All our mounts are handcrafted in the UK from premium hardwoods and built to last a lifetime.
