Why Use a Surfboard Bag?

Surfboard bags help to prevent damage that your boards might incur when out of the water. Unprotected boards often suffer from common mishaps such as dents on the tail and surface, delamination, and loss of wax. Furthermore, an excellent surf bag or SUP bag offers shielding against the elements, prominently from UV rays and heat from the sun, which can cause the colour of your board to fade gradually.

Are There Various Kinds of Surfboard Bags?

Surfboard bags come in three varieties: socks, day board bags, and travel bags. Surfboard socks are crafted from soft, lightweight woven fabric, measuring less than two millimetres in thickness. Day board bags are the most prevalent, offering lightweight and padded protection ideal for safeguarding your surfboard. Surfboard travel bags feature ten millimetres of padding, making them appropriate for longer journeys.

What Size Surfboard Bag is Suitable for Me?

Select a bag that can comfortably accommodate and suitably protect your board. A bag that is too small and tight may result in dents to your board, while one that is excessively large might feel unwieldy and make the board awkward to carry. Prior to selecting your next surfboard bag, consider the length, width, and thickness of your board. Length will suggest the size of your bag, and it is advisable to choose a bag either the same size or two inches larger than your board.

Width and thickness are more influential on the type of bag you’ll require. Every board differs based on the water sports discipline, and if the appropriate style of bag for your board isn't obvious, comparing dimensions can assist in making a decision.
