Jim,

Got it! Thanks for this. I have plenty of wood to attach to so it will be easier for me. Just have to find room for the four boards!

John L - Simple method for the surfboard (I'm ALL ABOUT simplifying things). The board in the pic is a 9' 8" performer with triple fin;

1). I used small toggle bolts (little bolts through a spring-loaded wing) in the ceiling. I used 2 toggles per end spaced 12" apart. I spaced the straps located at front & back of board about 24" from board ends which make for easier insertion of the board.

2) I added a fender washer (wide flat washer with small diameter hole for small bolt) to snug up the bolt head against the dry-wall (or sheet-rock).

3) You know those padded shoulder straps that come with luggage or a briefcase? I used (2) those and attached with cord to the toggle bolts.
