Sports board storage device

A wakeboard storage apparatus, comprising:

• a body defining a post;
• a clamp member mechanically coupled to the post, the clamp member slideably movable relative to the post along an axis defined by the post, the clamp member being slideably movable between an clamped position and a unclamped position, the clamp member defining a first seat that engages a first portion of the wakeboard when the wakeboard is stored in the wakeboard storage apparatus, wherein the first seat is at least partially formed of a deformable material;
• a pair of arms connected to the post, the pair of arms defining second and third seats that further engage second and third portions of the wakeboard when the wakeboard is stored in the wakeboard storage apparatus, wherein, when in the clamped position, the clamp member compresses the wakeboard between the first, second, and third seats to retain the wakeboard between the first, second and third seats when the wakeboard is stored in the wakeboard storage apparatus;
• an actuator mechanism that can be actuated to move the clamp member between the clamped state and the unclamped state;
• and
• a lock mechanism that locks the clamp member in the clamped or unclamped position.
