Multi-Sport Board Shaping and Storage Rack System with Adjustable Stabilization

Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) that is designed to accommodate various board-like recreational equipment, including surfboards ( 06 A) and snowboards ( 06 B). The system includes a base ( 10 ), upright members ( 02 ), at least one angled support ( 11 ) oriented between 15° and 45° from vertical, and fasteners ( 09 ) enabling folding or disassembly. Notches ( 07 ) for securing boards may be located on the angled support ( 11 ) or on a cross-member ( 04 ), allowing ergonomic shaping, repair, and versatile storage. This integrated solution offers robust lateral force mitigation and easy reconfiguration for multi-sport usage.

         3 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 1 , wherein a cross-member ( 04 ) includes the notches ( 07 ), forming a horizontal beam that supports board edges in a shaping or tuning position. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the upright members ( 02 ) are adjustable in height relative to the base ( 10 ) via pin-lock or telescoping mechanisms. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the notches ( 07 ) include elastomeric or polymeric inserts to protect the edges of surfboards ( 06 A), snowboards ( 06 B), skis, or stand-up paddleboards from abrasion during shaping or storage. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the base ( 10 ), upright members ( 02 ), and angled support ( 11 ) are composed of a material selected from the group consisting of wood, steel, aluminum, composite, or polymeric material. 
     
     
         7 . A multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system, comprising:
 a base designed as a stable footing on a floor or ground surface;   at least one angled support arranged between 15° and 45° from vertical;   at least one cross-member horizontal structural beams, and   at least one fastener comprising bolts or quick-release pins.   
     
     
         8 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 7 , wherein the base ( 10 ) is designed as a stable footing on a floor or ground surface, upright members ( 02 ) extending from the base, potentially adjustable via telescoping or pin-lock joints. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 7 , wherein the angled supports ( 11 ) are arranged between 15° and 45° from vertical, bridging the base ( 10 ) and upper structures; one or more angled supports ( 11 ) may include notches ( 07 ) or recesses ( 07 B) for securing board edges. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 7 , wherein the cross-members ( 04 ) further comprises horizontal structural beams designed to accommodate board ( 06 A,  06 B) at the recesses, depending on the embodiment, for receiving and securing board edges. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 7 , wherein the fasteners ( 09 ) further comprising screws ( 09 A), insert ( 09 B) and bolts ( 09 C) or quick-release pins, permitting assembly, folding, or disassembly for transport or off-season storage. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system ( 01 ) of  claim 7 , wherein by integrating angled reinforcement, adjustable components, and universal notching, this system enables ergonomic shaping and multi-board storage, all within a compact, easily transportable design. 
     
     
         13 . A method of disassembly and storing multiple boards using the rack system ( 01 ), the method comprising steps of:
 a. disassembling or folding the rack system ( 01 ) by releasing the fasteners ( 09 ) for transport or off-season storage;   b. placing a first board ( 06 A) in the notches ( 07 ) of the angled support ( 11 ), securing it at an incline as aided by foldable angled support members ( 11 );   c. positioning a second board ( 06 B), third, fourth, and fifth board horizontally on a cross-member ( 04 ), and   d. folding or disassembling the rack system ( 01 ) by releasing the fasteners ( 09 ) for transport or off-season storage.   
     
     
         14 . The method of shaping or repairing a surfboard ( 06 A) of  claim 13 , wherein the method further comprising steps of:
