FOREMAN® Surfboard Locker
Where surf gear finds its place.
Surfboard storage has two problems: boards are longer than lockers, and everything comes back soaked. FOREMAN® Surfboard Lockers answer both with one design. An open top lets boards up to 10' stand upright in an 84" locker, and that same opening drives air down through the compartment and out the perforated bottom panel — so wetsuits, booties, and towels dry between sessions instead of souring. Water runs off the hollow rubber mat and straight out the floor. Phenolic panels and stainless hardware handle the salt that ruins wood and metal.
FAQS
How does a 10' longboard fit in a 7' locker?
The FOREMAN® Surfboard Locker is open at the top. Boards stand on their tail inside the compartment and extend up through the opening, which means the locker's 84" height doesn't cap the board length — you can store up to 10'. The 24" depth is sized so a board sits in with its width running front to back, leaving the rest of the compartment free for a hanging wetsuit. Shortboards, fish, funboards, and longboards all store the same way.
What keeps wet gear from sitting in water?
The floor is a hollow rubber mat over a bottom panel drilled with eight drainage holes. Water coming off a suit or a board drains through the mat rather than pooling under it, so gear isn't sitting in a puddle and the locker floor isn't slowly rotting. It's the same principle as a shower grate, built into the locker.
Does the locker actually dry a wetsuit, or just store it?
It dries it. The open top and the perforated bottom panel create a passive chimney — air enters low, warms and rises through the compartment, and exits the top continuously, with no fan and no power required. The ventilated gap around the door adds cross-flow, and five 10mm holes can be added to the lower door panel for facilities that want more. A suit hung on the side hook sits in moving air the entire time it's in the locker, which is what stops the smell.
How do these hold up to saltwater and sand?
Salt is harder on storage than almost anything else in an athletic facility, which is why wood and painted metal fail so quickly near the beach. FOREMAN® Surfboard Lockers are built from 3/8" thick high pressure laminate with a 1/2" door on stainless steel five-knuckle hinges. The material will not warp, rust, delaminate, or corrode when it's soaked day after day — the same construction is in service in aquatic centers across North America, backed by a 20-year warranty.
How much secure surfboard storage does a run of lockers provide?
Each bay is 12" wide, so a 10-foot wall gives you ten individually locking surfboard storage bays, one board, one wetsuit, and one set of personal belongings per surfer, all behind a locked door. That density is the reason facilities choose lockers over open storage: every user gets their own secured space rather than sharing a common area where boards get dinged, mixed up, or walk off.
Where do Surfboard Lockers get installed?
Surf clubs, beach and resort clubhouses, surf camps and schools, municipal beach facilities, and collegiate surf programs — anywhere members or athletes need a secure, dedicated home for a board and a suit. Resorts and municipalities specifying beach lockers for a public or member-facing shoreline facility get the same corrosion resistance and drainage in a footprint that fits a short wall. FOREMAN® surf lockers can be configured as a single run, a double-sided island, or a custom layout to suit the space.
Can we brand them and choose colors?
Yes. FOREMAN® works with high pressure laminate and phenolic manufacturers (FUNDERMAX, Wilsonart, Formica) to provide hundreds of color options and finishes, and doors can carry club logos, multi-color designs, decals, or imprinted and engraved photos.
