If you live in Laguna Hills, California, chances are that hitting the beach is a part of your normal routine. Whether you’re going twice a year, twice a month or twice a day, having a convenient place to store all of your water and sports gear for the beach is critical. With US Storage Centers’ Laguna Hills storage units, we provide the ideal storage units to meet all of your personal storage needs. Consider these tips for storing your water and sports gear in a storage unit. Surf and Paddle Board Storage Surf and paddle boards are ideal for fun in the sun. But because these items are fairly large, keeping them in your living room isn’t always ideal, which is one of the primary reasons that a storage unit near you is optimal. Before storing your surf or paddle board, you should make sure that it is: Dry; Clean; and Free of sand and salt. From there, you should consider storing your surf or paddle board upright in order to conserve space in your storage unit. Storing Your Wetsuit in a Laguna Hills Storage Unit Water temperatures in California aren’t always comfortable, and many beach-goers choose to take to the ocean only when protected by a wetsuit. At the bare minimum, you should rinse your wetsuit (both sides) and let it dry completely before putting it into a storage unit. Depending upon how often you are using it, and for how long you plan to store it, you should use a little shampoo or gentle soap to get it as clean as possible - salt will quickly destroy your suit (as will direct sunlight, another major benefit of having your suit stored in a storage unit). Don’t leave you suit just out and draping over boxes when you store it; instead, hang it appropriately from a clothing rack, or fold it gently and place it in a covered box or bag. Our Storage Units Are Great for Other Water Toys, Too Other water and beach toys and gear that you may only use during the summer and want to store the rest of the year include water noodles, water guns, frisbees, volleyball nets and balls, swimsuits, swim towels, snorkel masks, flippers, goggles, and more. In all cases, making sure items have been cleaned to remove salt and debris and properly dried before storage is essential. You should place items in boxes and make sure the boxes are labeled for easy finding. Since these are items that you will likely want to access again in the future, put the box(es) at the front of your storage unit for easy finding.
