Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Malone SUP Storage Rack for 1 SUP or Surfboard

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer.com. And today we are looking at our Malone SUPSwing Storage System for stand-up paddleboards here at etrailer. If you don't wanna be laying your paddleboards on the ground or against the wall, and you want a better way to take care of your, sometimes pricey stand-up paddleboard, this is a good option. Also, it helps organize your garage and make sure that everything is organized and well mounted. We have it here in this position in order to hold our paddleboard properly, but it's up to you with how wide you want it to be in order to carry maybe your longer or larger paddleboards. Just know that this has a weight capacity of 150 pounds.

This is called the SUPSwing because you can swing it back and forth to whichever position you need it to be. You have it here, ready to hold your board. But when you want to store it and you don't want it sticking out, you can just rotate it this way or the other way in order to put it into the storage position where it lays flat against your wall. The way this is designed, it has this hook here and you can see how it's narrow and it comes up a bit higher, which makes it ideal for your stand-up paddleboards. Now, if you wanna be carrying your kayak around, there's the YakSwing.

Very similar, but that comes out a little bit further and is a little bit shorter. They added something just to make sure that your boards are protected while you're storing them. So, you have this foam lining the inside and that's just to help hold onto your boards a little bit more, as well as to prevent extra scuffs and scratches from happenin'. You also have how it is capped on the end, so you don't have any pointy parts scratching up your boards, as well as on the system itself. It also has a welded ring for when you want to lock your stand-up paddleboards into place.

You can attach your lock here, just to keep them secure. Lots of people get these in order to organize their area, make sure that their kayaks or their paddleboards are stored properly. In that case, you might be interested in some measurements, just to make sure how much space are these taking up. So measuring from our wall to the end of our carrier here, it is an inch and a half. So that's gonna be the measurement when it's folded flat.

And from the wall to the end, right when it's in the carrying position, it's gonna be 11 5/8 inches long. When it's in the storage position, let's measure from the end of our hook for our cable lock to the end of the carrier, and it sits at 12 1/2 inches. The actual height it takes up depends on your stand-up paddleboard. But for the system itself, from the top, right where that end cap is to the bottom of the hook, it's 27 1/2 inches. If you wanna know how much space you need to install our brackets, from the top of the brackets to the bottom, it is 11 1/2 inches. I already installed the first one, so we'll install the second one together. Make sure you get your measurements right and that they're even. Also, drill a pilot hole that helps a lot with drillin' the included hardware. So, I have here the included screw and we'll just get that into place. The install process just involves four screws on each side. Those are included in your system. And once you have those mounted in place, you can then just arrange your SUPSwing however you want it to be and that's it, you're good to go! With it in the carrying position, you can just lower your paddleboard onto the arms and find the best fit for your stand-up paddleboard. My personal thoughts about this system is I like how it gives me the opportunity to mount these to my wall, so I don't have my paddleboards lying on the ground. Note that if you have kayaks, you can get the YakSwing, or if you just have paddleboards, you get the SUPSwing. So, I know people who like to mount them up or across their walls and get multiple sets. It really depends on you on how you're using them. I do like how this allows me to store them to the side. So if you do have a small garage or a small space and you're not storing paddleboards all the time, this will work out really well for you. And that was a look here at our Malone SUPSwing Storage System for stand-up paddleboards here at etrailer.com..
