What are some storage tips and transport tips for standup paddleboards? So if you are going to get a rigid composite board, you will need to invest in a few things (for transport). First of all, you have to invest in a board. You have to also see what your car can take as far as rack systems go, you are going to need pads and straps. That is all to get it to and from home and the beach. Once you get home, you probably shouldn’t store it on your floor, as if it falls over, you do not want it banging on the other stuff in your garage. A good, hanging system, whether it’s vertical or horizontal, will work, so your board can air dry and be ready for your next trip. So if you want to invest in that stuff, a rigid board is the way to go, but if storage is a trouble, and so is transport, you can get an inflatable standup paddleboard. The beauty of the inflatable standup paddleboard is that you can take it just about anywhere, because it’s stored in a backpack. They don’t count as overweight baggage (mostly), so you can check it on your airline for the same price as your regular duffelbag. We (C4 Waterman) now have wheels on our inflatable standup paddleboard bags, so that’s another benefit too; As long as you can roll, you can bring your board.
