This invention discloses a storage apparatus for sportboards of variable width, which is mountable onto a supporting surface. The apparatus comprises two gripping members, with a distance between them that is greater than the minimum width of the sportboard that is to be held therein, and lesser than the maximum width of the sportboard. A narrow part of the board is placed between the two gripping members, and the board is lowered until a wider part rests on the gripping members. The edges of the gripping members grip the board and hold it in the apparatus. In one embodiment, the distance between the gripping members is adjustable, so that boards of different sizes may be held in the apparatus. In an alternative embodiment designed to hold two sportboards such as a pair of skis, the apparatus comprises a center member with gripping edges, which functions to divide in two the space between the gripping members so that a pair of skis can be held in the apparatus. All sportboards with varying widths may be held in different embodiments of this invention, however the invention is particularly useful for the storage of snowboards and skis.
