Neoprene Gear Drying Rack for Water Sports

This neoprene gear drying rack is designed to properly dry boots, gloves, hoods, and helmets used in surfing, diving, wingfoiling, kitesurfing, freediving, and other water sports.

The rack is built using standard 32 mm PVC pipe and 90° elbows, making it affordable, durable, and easy to customize. Its open structure provides passive ventilation, allowing air to circulate inside neoprene gear for faster drying and reduced odor, mold, and material wear.

The design includes:

• 45° mounting connectors for the hangers
• Hanger support for neoprene hoods or helmets
• Hanger support for boots and gloves
• 4-pipe bottom junction, allowing the rack to be built as a freestanding stand with no wall mounting required

Assembly can be done using screws for a removable setup or PVC glue for a permanent build, depending on your preference.

Materials Required

• 32 mm PVC pipe (length as needed)
• 32 mm PVC 90° elbows
• Optional screws or PVC glue

This rack is ideal for home, garage, van, or beach house use, keeping your neoprene gear organized, ventilated, and ready for your next session.
