Ghost Racks

Website: ghostracks.com.au

For surfers, the Gold Coast is not only home to the perfect waves, but it is also home to two incredibly savvy and practical inventors, Shane Atkins and Darren Barnes who have created Ghost Racks.

Made out of solid Ghost Acrylic, the racks are virtually invisible meaning that presenting surfboards in the home, retail or commercial space can be aesthetically pleasing and is not just about storage.  Whether you want to display boards on the wall, both horizontally or vertically or present them as a free-standing object, there is a Ghost Rack available and they also specialise in custom models.
