Purpose of a Surfboard Bag

The use of surfboard bags is crucial in avoiding damage to your boards when they are not in water. Unprotected boards often suffer from dings on the tail and surface, delamination, and dewaxation. Moreover, a quality surf bag or SUP bag shields your board from environmental factors, especially the sun's UV rays and heat, which can cause the board's colour to fade over time.

Varieties of Surfboard Bags

You can choose from three types of surfboard bags: socks, day board bags, and travel bags. Surfboard socks are soft, lightweight woven fabric covers that are less than two millimetres in thickness. Day board bags are the most popular as they are lightweight and padded, providing excellent surfboard protection. Travel bags for surfboards have padding ten millimetres thick and are suitable for extended journeys.

How to Choose the Right Size for a Surfboard Bag

It's essential to select a bag that both stores and protects your board properly. If the bag is too small and tight, your board is more prone to dings. Conversely, a bag that's too large will be overly loose and make transportation awkward. When selecting your next surfboard bag, consider your board's length, width, and thickness. The bag's size should match your board's length or be up to two inches larger.

Factors like width and thickness influence the bag style you'll require. Every board varies based on the watersport discipline; if the appropriate bag style for your board is unclear, you can refer to its dimensions to make a decision.
