adminser It’s worth protecting your surfboard when you travel. This will ensure that you can continue to ride the waves for many years to come. A bag will protect your surfboard and allow you to store all your essential gear. This guide will teach you how to select the best board bag.
Types Of Bags.
Board bags are usually divided into three categories. The most common are ‘day-use’ and travel’ bags. The three types of bags and their purposes are listed below:
- Day use: The best bag to use if you are going surfing locally. The day-use bag allows you to carry your surfboard to the beach and then strap it to your car’s roof when you are ready to go home. These bags are lined with 5mm foam to protect the Board. Keep your Board in its bag once you get home to protect it from storage conditions.
- Bag de voyage: The travel bag offers 10mm of padding for protection against the rough handling that is often associated with long-distance traveling. This bag is perfect for transporting your surfboard on a plane. You can also carry more than one surfboard in a travel bag. There are usually padded dividers that separate each Board to provide extra protection. Wheeled versions are also available for easy transport.
- Board sock: These provide the least protection of the three. A board sock, as the name implies, is a lightweight sock that you wear on your Board. It is a thin cover that protects your Board against minor items such as sand or wax. When you are transporting or storing your Board, use a board sock. A board sock is not as thickly padded as other board bags, so it will not protect your board from minor dents.
Take A Look At Your Board.
Board bags are packed with features that make life easier and ensure the bag will last a lifetime. Here are some features that you should consider:
- Reflective material will prevent your Board from heating up
- Durable YKK(r) zippers
- Handle made of durable material
- Additional padding in sensitive areas such as the nose and tail
- Wheels
- Pockets to store surf gear such as removable fins, wax, and other items
Keep Your Board In Good Condition.
A quality bag can extend the life of your Board by several years. Do not forget to consider the size of your Board and whether or not you require space for removable fins. Secure your board in the right bag before you head to a beach near you or fly to South Africa for epic waves. You can be excited to ride future waves with your Board in perfect condition.
