"It is a pleasure to give this testimonial for your website."
"My garage has been brimming with surfing equipment even before Stand Up Paddle style of riding waves came along. Then as if it were overnight, I was carrying on my car these 12 foot monsters!!The real issue of course was what do I do with these humungous things!!!
Thanks to Trevor, his SOLID team and his infectious passion to design Simple, SOLID, Solutions for any sized surfboard storage, I now know my babies are safe, secure and ready for use anytime I choose".

"I have been using SOLID RACKS for over a year. I have them in my boardroom, on my deck and also in the house where I want to show my boards off. SOLID RACKS are great, very strong, reliable and a quality product. They were very easy to Install and have been useful in creating space around my house.
I needed SOLID surfboard racks because there were boards laying all around my house and I hated how unorganised they were, now I know where every board is and they are ready for action at all times. I love knowing that they are safe and given the respect the boards deserve.
SOLID RACKS are definitely the best rack on the market and are a must have for any serious surfer”.
Yours sincerely,

Rob Bain, O'Neill Asia pacific marketing manager
"Being a surfer with a quiver of boards, and having a family based around the ocean, we have a real need to store and protect our equipment.
The simplicity of a good rack system allows space, and keeps your boards out of harms way. The gun, the fish, the shorty, all there at the ready when conditions are on.
Solid Surfracks are just what they claim. A real Solid system and solid people who run the business. I am really happy with my racking system from Solid, and now just pray for swell".

"Up until last year I have had boards stacked in the room corner, small dings and dents were a prevalent problem.
I was lucky to get in touch with the guys from solid racks. I have a system that holds 12 boards neatly against the wall of my garage. Since having the SOLID RACKS system, damaged boards from clanging on top of each other have become a thing of the past, I have never had a problem since installing them. The added bonus, is neat storage using the SOLID RACKS system; making a clean visual addition to any garage, room or factory. They are strong and can handle pretty much any board size or shape.
I recommend Solid Racks to any surfer who needs a strong good looking system to support any quiver!! "

"Whilst I was rowing I used surfing as my cross training activity which stood me in great stead for the arduous training regimen that was required to reach the top in rowing.
Since I stopped rowing I've become less flexible and have increased my quiver of boards to compensate!
Add to that a growing family who are into surfing, and all of a sudden you have a heap of expensive boards in your store-room getting bashed up by impatient young surfers champing
to get into the line-up..... although nobody ever seems to know how those little dings got there!
Not any more. We now have a very organised storage room with all our boards in their own rack, easily selected and replaced by even our youngest.....
I?d recommend SOLID Racks to anybody who values their collection and needs to get their boards up off the ground, yet have easy access.
SOLID Racks havn't improved my surfing, but they?ve certainly solved my storage problems! "

"Like most of us my quiver keeps expanding every year and Solid Racks are a stylish solution to display and store my kiteboards and surfboards.
After trying the racks in my house, we have just ordered a custom 80 board rack for our retail store!
The quality and service we got from the team was excellent and I highly recommend them!"
