    Abstract: A sports board rack system includes an upper support frame, an upper pulley arrangement carried by the upper support frame, a lower support frame, and a lower pulley arrangement carried by the lower support frame. A flexible rack assembly is coupled between the upper and lower support frames and includes a pair of spaced apart rack units. Each rack unit includes spaced apart board supports. The upper and lower pulley arrangements are coupled together so that the flexible rack assembly is moveable between an expanded position and a retracted position. In the expanded position the board supports are aligned with one another in a horizontal direction for placement and removal of sports boards. In the retracted position the board supports are moved closer to one another so that a separation distance between adjacent board supports in a vertical direction is reduced.
