Hurricane Season in the Atlantic | Surfing Hurricane Waves

By Andrew Sachs
Hurricanes: anyone that lives near the coast has felt first-hand the devastating impact that hurricanes can have on an area.  Flooding, power outages, damage to buildings, trees down, roads washed out, new inlets created and much more destruction results.  It is important to take hurricanes seriously, plan for them, and seek shelter when appropriate.

Learning to Longboard Skateboard | The Hard Way

I grew up spending my summers in Bethany Beach, DE. A perfect little beach town in Sussex County... pretty sleepy in the winter and bustling in the summer. It's also the hometown to some seriously talented surfers, skaters, and all around athletes...These boys and girls can rip. Like my friend Dave.  Dave taught me to longboard many a summer ago. I fell in love instantly and envisioned myself submitting an audition tape for "True Life I want to be a Professional Skater" Remember that show? So good.

Skateboard "Naked" Rack | Mount Skateboards on Walls for $14.99

One of the newest products we've added to StoreYourBoard is our new skateboard rack, appropriately called the "naked rack", because when you mount it to your wall, it's like it's not even there.  Just like a bikini, this rack covers the bare minimum, and stores and displays your skateboard and deck art in style.

Firefly Music Festival: Festival and Camping Pictures

By Andrew Sachs
The StoreYourBoard crew traveled down to Dover, Delaware and the Firefly Music Festival for a weekend of camping, concerts and (mostly) good clean fun for the second year in a row.  Even though it felt like it was about twice as crowded this year, it was still an amazing time.  Like a day surfing, you have to deal with the crowds when the waves are firing!  And in fact, we already bought our advance tickets for 2014.  Already started the countdown.

Check out some of our pictures from Firefly 2013:

Joel Parkinson Surfs to the Oakley Pro Bali Title

By Andrew Sachs
Joel Parkinson staged a late comeback in the Oakley Pro Bali final to knock off Michel Bourez and grab the title.  The win bumps Parko up from seventh to third place overall in the tour standings, sitting behind only Slater and Mick at 1 and 2.  Over the course of 10 days, Bali and Keramas played host to some amazing technical waves, providing opportunities for barrels, big hacks and airs.  But it seemed that the Oakley Pro flew under the radar a bit compared to the year's first 4 events due to the combination of the (1) comp being scheduled so shortly after the hugely successful and popular Volcom Fiji Pro, (2) that it was the first contest held in Bali since 2008, and (3) that some of the hottest names this season - Kelly, John John and Jordy - all got bounced before the quarterfinals.

We are selling a ton of wake racks, wakesurf racks and wakeskate racks for home storage and display, but want to let you know that we also have wakeboard tower racks to store your wakeboard on your boat while you are cruising around and ripping it up.

Surf Trip Travel Tips: Advantages to Traveling with Surfboards

By Andrew Sachs
The age-old question for a surf trip is: should I travel with my surfboard or rent one when I get to my destination?  It’s an age-old question because there is a ton of value in having your own surfboard on a big surf trip.  But sometimes traveling with your surfboard costs as much as buying another plane ticket and can be a huge hassle.  What are the real benefits to traveling with your surfboard?
