Surfboard Bags
Surfboard bags for the daily drive and the long haul, from padded day bags to travel coffins. Protect your board from dings, heat, and airline handlers.
Day bag or travel bag?
A day bag has light padding to protect your board in the car, on the rack, and walking to the beach. A travel bag (or coffin) has heavy padding and room for multiple boards, built for flights. Match the bag length to your board, or size up a couple inches for fin and tail room. Shopping a new board? Add a bag to keep it new.
Care and sun
Heat is a board's enemy. A reflective or light-colored bag fights delamination on hot days, and you should never leave a bagged board baking in a closed car. Rinse salt and sand off the zippers to keep them smooth.
Frequently asked questions
What size board bag do I need?
Match the bag to your board length, or size up an inch or two for fin and nose room. Some bags are listed by a length range, so pick one that fits your longest board.
Do I need a day bag or a travel bag?
A day bag protects your board for car trips and beach walks with light padding. A travel bag has heavy padding and holds multiple boards for flights. Frequent flyers want both.
How do board bags protect against heat?
Light-colored and reflective bags bounce sunlight to slow the heat buildup that causes delamination. Even so, never leave a board in a hot, closed car for long.
