Surfboards are our great allies and companions on adventures. We choose them according to our height and weight, and depending on our level of surfing, we choose the most suitable manufacturing material to get the best performance from them.
Best surfboard cover
A quality cover that adapts to our board is one of the keys for our adventure companion to last us longer.
When choosing a cover, you must take into account the use you are going to give the board, if you are going to travel often by plane or if you will do it mostly by car, how many boards do you want to transport and what size they are, or if you will carry it with or without keels.
In the market there is a wide range of designs and prices, it is best not to be inclined to buy cheap covers since they rarely provide adequate protection. It is better to invest in a quality cover and gain peace of mind, knowing that your board will always be safe from bumps and damage, wherever you go. There are different types of surfboard covers
Rigid case
If you are going to travel by plane to surf, the ideal is to carry the board with a rigid cover to avoid blows in the hold and when loading and unloading luggage on the plane.
Sock cover
They are made of fabric, they do not take up much space and are ideal to carry the board during short trips, whether you go by bicycle, motorcycle or in the car. They will protect you from the sun but do not prevent damage from bumps. They have a reinforcement at the tip and are available for all board sizes.
Standard and padded covers
The standard covers are lightweight, non-padded covers that are intended for daily use and for storing boards at home.
The padded covers, thanks to their internal reinforcement, protect your board from hits and the sun. They can be 5mm thick, which are those indicated for short trips, or there are 10mm to 20mm thick, indicated for long trips and where you can carry more than one board in the same cover. Some have wheels for easy transport.
How do I choose the correct size? It is best to buy a cover a little longer than the measurements of your board to be able to put some extra protectors on the tips. In this way it will be more protected on trips and you, much calmer.
Your case should give you extra protection on the tip or nose, it should have a padded strap to carry it comfortably and a pocket to carry the wax. Another important point is to verify that the zippers are resistant to corrosion.
