A handy way to display and store surfboards using two Ikea Sigfrid brackets.

Step 1: Step One

Purchase two Sigfrid brackets from Ikea (166.920.09)

Step 2: Step Two

Drill out the hole on the end of the shorter side of both brackets so it is large enough to accommodate 1 1/2 long x 1/4 wide (approx) dowel. I used leftover dowels from my Ikea Expedit bookcase, but you can purchase dowel rod at any Home Depot. The hole should be snug so the dowel does not slide out the other end.

Step 3: Step 3

Insert dowel into bracket, leaving about 1 inch of the dowel exposed (this will keep the board from sliding off the bracket).

Step 4: Step Four

Find your placement on the wall and mount the brackets. My roommate insisted that the brackets be mounted into studs. Rest your board in the brackets, and you're done!
