Our Guide to Wakeboard Tower Racks
You’ve invested in quality wakeboards, but now you’re limited on space. A wakeboard tower rack can help add to your storage and your boat’s look.
After 2026+ years of building custom wakeboard towers and working with thousands of boat owners, we’ve seen firsthand how the right wakeboard rack can completely transform your boating experience.
Many boat owners struggle with limited deck space and constantly worry about their expensive wakeboards getting damaged, which is why Samson Sports builds quality racks. Just like our custom-built towers, choosing the perfect wakeboard tower rack can enhance every moment on the water. They’re truly an extension of your boat’s functionality!
What Is a Wakeboard Tower Rack?
A wakeboard tower rack is a specialized mounting system that attaches directly to your wakeboard tower, providing secure storage for your boards while keeping them easily accessible.
Just as your tower elevates your tow line for better wakeboarding performance, your rack elevates your storage game. Wakeboard racks are engineered specifically for the marine environment and are built to handle constant movement and exposure to the elements.

Types of Wakeboard Racks
Fixed mount racks offer the most stability and are perfect for boat owners who know exactly where they want their boards stored. You won’t have to worry about boards shifting while sailing.

Spinning racks give you flexibility by rotating to different positions, making it easier to load boards and adjust based on your needs. If you’re dealing with difficult loading angles, swivel racks are the way to go.

How to Choose a Wakeboard Tower Rack
Your rack choice should complement your entire setup, just like your tower.
First, consider your tower’s tubing diameter. Most quality racks accommodate standard 2” to 2.5” tubing. Next, think about capacity. How many boards will you typically carry? Weekend warriors might need space for two boards while families often require racks that hold four or more.
Material quality makes all the difference in longevity. The best wakeboard racks feature rubber-coated contact points that protect your boards’ finish while providing secure grip. Flexibility is also crucial as you upgrade equipment or host friends with different gear.
Samson Sports’ racks offer all of this plush aircraft-grade aluminum with proper coating that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance season after season.
How to Take Care of Your Wakeboard Tower Rack
The marine environment demands regular attention to your wakeboard rack, but taking care of it is straightforward when you know what to focus on. Proper maintenance extends your rack’s life and keeps it looking great!
- After each use, rinse your wakeboard tower rack with fresh water. Pay special attention to moving parts and adjustment mechanisms.
- Inspect all mounting hardware monthly for signs of loosening or wear. Vibration from normal boat operation can gradually affect connections.
- Apply marine-grade lubricant to any pivot points or adjustment mechanisms twice per season.
- Check rubber bumpers and padding for wear and replace them before they fail (and potentially damage your boards).
- For powder-coated racks, use appropriate cleaners that won’t compromise the finish.
Transform Your Boating Experience
With the right wakeboard rack, your boat becomes more organized, safer, and looks better with a properly equipped tower. And when combined with a custom tower built specifically for your boat, you create a complete system that works together seamlessly.
Whether you’re adding a wakeboard tower rack to an existing setup or planning a complete tower system, choosing quality components and proper installation makes all the difference. Samson Sports’ team of experts is here to help you navigate your options and find the ideal solution for your boat and boarding style.
