I think I just made up a new word. lol The point is that this SHOULD BE my LAST “Surfboard Travel Bag” post! (Somehow some of you will be upset and the rest of you, grateful… I don’t understand. Either way we’ll be moving on after this.) I was breaking down some KEY differences (generally) between companies. So, lets continue! Next up, Creatures of Leisure. Born in Aus., their Surfboard Travel Bag claim to be “Slim Fit”, (which they are) giving you less size and weight! Meanwhile, Dakine has the industry leading Recon II, available in both Shortboard and Longboard sizes. The Recon II is one of our best selling Surfboard Travel Bag and for good reason. It’s one of the SICKEST slim doubles we offer. It COMPLETELY HIDES YOUR 2nd BOARD! (Stick it to the Airlines! Hey, don’t judge! Those airline fees are getting out of control.) Next up is Destination Surf. With their Family Owned attitude and industry leading Manufacturer warranty, you know your set with one of their bags. Last BUT NOT LEAST is Ocean and Earth. Their price point approach gets you a SOLID Surfboard Travel Bag at a GREAT price. With all this said, we carry all these brands and more! If you want the BEST surf gear in the world there’s no better place than www.TheSurfboardWarehouse.com!

Surfboard Travel Bags: They’re all the same right?!? (Part 2)
Good morning and a happy Monday to you! (I love Monday’s, Why?!? The potential for things to get done this week is GREAT. I’ll follow up with that thought later, but it’s a good way to look at Monday’s.) Continuing our discussion about Surfboard Travel Bags the second MOST important factor would be size. Length is the obvious one. As a rule of thumb you want your Travel Surfboard Bag to have NO MORE that six inches to spare. That gives you thee inches wiggle room at the nose and tail, more than that starts lending itself towards to much movement and damage. (on longer boards you might be able to get away with a foot) THE MORE FORM FITTING THE BETTER! Next, the LESS obvious, but possibly more important factor the Width. The rails on your board are very easily damaged, so keeping the side to side movement within your Surfboard Travel Bag to a minimum is key. The EASIEST way to do this is use a Shortboard Travel Bag for Shortboards, a Funboard/Fish Travel Bag for your Funboard/Fish and a Longboard Travel Bag for your Longboards. Yes, I do understand that you are probably traveling with different types of boards, so we’ll visit that problem in the next post! See you there!
