The Inertia

As surfers, the surfboard is our most prized possession and as such, we want to do everything in our power to keep it in pristine condition. While a ding is inevitable at some point, a solid board bag can help prolong the life of your board, and give you some peace of mind when traveling, whether it’s to your local break, a coastal roadtrip, or flying across the globe.

We took the liberty of acquiring and testing the best surfboard bags on the market, to give you our analysis and top picks for a variety of applications. For more detailed info on the bags and what we looked for in reviewing them, check out our Comparison Table and Buyer’s Guide towards the end of the article.

Best All-Around Surfboard Bag

roark x creatures of leisure surfboard travel bag

Creatures of Leisure Adventure-Ready Shortboard Double ($263)

Pros: Internal compression straps, ventilation system, padded straps Cons:  Not super heavy padding

If you’re looking for a rugged bag that will keep your board safe during long-haul trips, look no further than the Creatures of Leisure x Roark Adventure-Ready bag. Designed for lightweight, compact travel the board comes in three size options that securely hold your board in place while offering maximum protection. Featuring Diamond-Tech fabric, 10-mm closed cell foam protection, an expandable sidewall, 20 percent more protection on the nose/tail, marine-grade corrosion resistant zippers, a padded handle and shoulder strap, internal compression straps, an aero mesh ventilation system, and a limited edition cover, the Adventure-Ready bag has everything you could want in a good travel bag and more. With style points to boot, the Adventure Ready bag is the one we’ll be reaching for on our next globe trotting adventure.

Best Surfboard Bag for Air Travel

Wave tribe hurricane chaser travel bag (from $260).

Wave Tribe Surfboard Bag

At Wave Tribe, the goal is to offer a bag that is stylish, sustainably made, durable, and offers the maximum protection possible—the brand hit the nail on the head with the Hurricane Chaser travel bag. In an effort to be gentle on the environment, the bag is made from high-density recycled nylon and hemp, which keeps the board about 10 degrees cooler than a traditional bag.

Thoughtful exterior bag features include heavy-duty YKK zippers, a padded shoulder strap, heavy-duty handles, a zippered pocket, wheels, and breathable hemp. Interior features include 25 mm of padding on the nose and tail, a padded board separator to securely separate boards, and an interior pocket for stashing fins/leashes. The bag is available in nine different size options and is designed to comfortably hold two boards, making it perfect for overseas adventures. This bag recently accompanied our tester on a trip to Hawaii and it performed like a dream, with all of her gear arriving intact.

Most Protective Surfboard Bag

Db djärv surfboard coffin ($449).

bag

Pros: Wheels, semi-rigid ribs, pockets, compresses down for storage Cons: Too large for day trips, only offered in one size, pricey

This bag is pretty incredible. It’s designed to hold three to four boards and the protection it offers is as good as it gets with tons of padding, semi-rigid ribs that keep your boards from getting squished, and  strategic pockets to stash your towels and clothing and create even more padding at the nose and tail.

Other features include custom wheels and a handle to make hauling easier. It also has a built-in hook up system, so you can attach it to other Db bags to make your airport endeavor smoother. Additionally, the bag has internal pockets for stashing leashes/wax, dividers to place between your boards, and strategically placed exterior handles to ensure baggage handlers are gentle when lifting your board. When you’re finished traveling, the bag compresses down to 30% of its size to make storage easier.

When it comes to bells and whistles, this one’s a winner. The only downsides to this awesome product is that it may be a little overkill for the casual surf-tripper who only wanted to take a board or two with them, and is certainly too bulky to double as a daybag. And at close to $450, those bells and whistles aren’t coming cheap. Finally, the bag is only offered in one size, that (just barely) fits boards up to 6’6″ in length. That said, if you need a super-protective surf coffin, this is as good as it gets. Read our full review here.

Best Day-Use Surfboard Bag

Creatures of leisure fish day-use dt2.0 ($140).

surfboard travel bag

Pros: Expandable side wall, ventilation system, lightweight yet durable Cons: Not reliable for international travel

If you’re looking for a day-use bag that offers a little extra protection, the Creatures of Leisure Fish Day Use may be the bag for you. The Fish Day Use is specifically designed for day-to-day usage with single board capacity for wider fun boards.

The bag is constructed from Diamond-Tech fabric, which is strong, water-resistant, and lightweight. The bag also contains Diamond-Tech 2.0 fabric on high stress areas for extra protection. Additionally, the Day Use bag includes 5mm closed cell foam protection, an expandable sidewall, marine-grade resistant zippers, a foam padded handle, a padded shoulder strap, a fin slot, and an interior pouch for stashing essentials. The bag also features an aero mesh ventilation system to keep boards cool, which we were big fans of as we tend to spend hours at the beach after a good surf session.  We really liked how lightweight this bag is while remaining durable. With generous zippers, the board slides in and out with ease and the shoulder straps makes it easy to carry on long treks to the beach.

Best Bang for Your Buck

Dakine daylight surfboard bag ($94).

surfboard travel bag

Pros: Zippered fin slots, long zippers Cons: Not enough padding for airplane travel

A hybrid bag designed for storage and transport, the Daylight is advertised as a day-use bag, but we think it’s sturdy enough for gentle travel as well. Created specifically for longboards, the Daylight offers heat and water-resistant coverage and full-length ¼ inch foam-padded ding protection. And, it’s available in both a longboard , and shortboard version.

Additionally, the bag features a heavy duty, YKK coil zipper, a zippered fin slot, a non-slip padded shoulder strap with a stash pocket, and a wax/fin pocket. We thought it was unique that this bag had a zippered fin slot as opposed to traditional Velcro ones—we found it easier to fit the bag snuggly around our fin. We also appreciated the plethora of pockets, and the padded shoulder strap was a nice addition for easy transport. Generously long zippers made it simple to slid the board in and out and a subtle camo design added a little extra flair. The only reason we would hesitate to use this bag for airplane travel is the lack of extra padding in the nose area—but it makes for a great day-use bag.

Best Budget Surfboard Bag

Curve boost travel bag (from $80).

boost surfboard travel bag

Upon first examination, Curve’s Boost bag looks more like a day-use bag than a travel bag due to its compact design. However, upon taking a closer look, we noticed 20-mm boosted nose and tail foam zones that provide added protection during transport. Additionally, the bag features a 7 mm foam core, a 600D water-resistant canvas base, heat reflective silver tarpee upper, fin slot with Velcro closer, and a detachable shoulder strap. An especially unique feature of the bag is the Tail Protection Strap System, a built-in strap that allows you to firmly secure the board inside the pack. Although the body of the bag doesn’t provide as intense protection as other travel options, the price is right and the paddling is sufficient — you just may want to wrap some towels around your board for a little extra cushion.

If you’re willing to spend a little more for the extra padding, the Curve Armordillo is an absolute tank with thick foam panels on the rails, nose, and tail. Buy the shortboard version here , and the longboard version here .

Best of the Rest

Runner up: best day-use surfboard bag, fcs dayrunner all purpose cover (from $130).

surfboard travel bag

Pros: High-density padding, 3D rail protection Cons:  Not ideal for airplane travel

Available in five size options and two colorways, the FCS Dayrunner cover is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for transit to and from the beach. The bag features five-mm high-density padding, noncorrosive zippers paired with Velcro, an ergonomic shoulder pad, and an internal pocket for stashing fins or wax. Standout features include 3D rail protection that contours to the shape of the rail, an expandable fin wing that allows you to transport your board with or without the fin, and a contoured stretch fit that provides ventilation while simultaneously keeping the bag snug around your board. Although this bag is advertised as a day-use bag, it is extremely well made and raises the bar for day-use bags by being ultra padded and secure.

Sagebrush Surf Bags ($140)

surfboard travel bag

Pros : Stylish, sustainably made Cons: No padding, no place to stash wax

If you have yet to hear of Sagebrush , it’s time to put them on your radar. From the mind of professional freesurfer Anna Gudauskas, Sagebursh offers eye catching bags created with the environment in mind. Available in a wide variety of prints and sizes, all of Sagebrush’s bags are handmade from remnant or vintage fabric and coffee bean sacks from organic, fair trade coffee roasters.

The style of these bags is similar to a sock, but they’re made from thick canvas, so they’re super easy to slide on and off while remaining durable. The material is much thicker than your traditional sock, so we feel confident that our boards will be protected in transit, when stacking it on the car, and during long beach days in the sun. While we wouldn’t use a Sagebrush bag for airplane travel (unless it’s stashed in a travel bag), our tester has been sporting a Sagebrush bag for years and is impressed by the durability. Made from remnant and vintage fabrics, it’s cool to know that each bag is available in extremely limited quantities, ensuring that you will have a unique bag. The only thing missing from this rad bag is a place to stash your wax!

Shred Surf Bag ($56)

Pros: Made from recycled materials, extra fleece on the nose, fins, tail, and side rails, machine washable Cons: Day-use only, not enough padding for airplane travel

surfboard travel bag

Made from 100% recycled materials, Shred’s bags are a mix of 60% recycled cotton and 40% recycled plastics. They are shipped in 100% recycled packaging via carbon neutral shipping (in the U.S.), so they’re gentle on the environment. The bags sport a protective interior design with double layered unbrushed fleece on the nose, fins, tail and side rails, so you can rest easy knowing there’s extra cushion where you need it. The bags also include a stowaway pocket for wax and other essentials, a drawstring closure, and UV protection. Should your bag get a little stinky, it’s machine washable so you can easily run it through a cycle and have it looking as good as new in no time. With a variety of patterns to choose from, we love the aesthetic of this bag and it seems sturdy and well made. When it’s time to travel overseas, our tester plans on stashing her board in her Shred bag before securing it in her travel bag for an added layer of protection. All and all, a super solid day-use option.

The Classic Boardsock (From $30)

the classic boardsock

Pros: Reinforced nose, velcro pocket Cons: Sometimes difficult to slide board in/out, everything sticks to it

The Ho Stevie! Surfboard Sock is a super simplistic sock design. Available in three different color options, the sock offers an added layer of protection from sunlight and anything that could potentially ding your board. The sock is made from durable knit stretch fabric and has a reinforced nose for an added layer of protection. Additionally, the bag features a drawstring closer as well as a small, Velcro storage pocket for wax, keys, or any other small items you might have.

Like most surfboard socks, we occasionally had some trouble sliding the bag over our boards—we found it easier with shorter boards. Another thing we noticed was if you set your sock down in any sort of debris, like a leaf-covered yard, it acted like Velcro and we’d end up bringing a bunch of leaves and weeds home with us. That said, the Ho Stevie! surfboard sock has everything you’d expect in a solid surfboard sock for lightweight, day-use protection, and the price is right.

How We Tested

Our lead tester, Rebecca Parsons, is a surfer based on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, who has made it her mission to surf as many different waves in the world as she can, both at home in Hawaii, on roadtrips up and down the California coast, and on overseas trips. In 2022, she got her hands on each of the bags featured in this review (as well as some that didn’t make the cut), and since then has been storing and transporting her boards in them to get a feel for how they perform. Some have gone on trips close to home, and those made for air travel, she’s taken overseas to see how they held up, and how well they protected her precious surfboards. As surfers and wave-chasers, other members of The Inertia’s editorial and gear team have done additional testing of products on this list, like the Wave Tribe Hurricane Chaser, which has been a favorite of Senior Editor Alex Haro’s for years now, and the Db Djärv which has accompanied Gear Editor Will Sileo on a number of trips to and from his home in California and the Hawaiian Islands. We continue to test these bags, as well as any new products to hit the market, and will keep this article updated with the latest and greatest based on our experiences with the products.

For each bag, our main considerations were the type and level of protection it offers, how easy it is to transport, and the ease of use. We rated each bag on these three metrics, as well as taking into account additional features, and the various pros and cons related to the design of each bag.

Rating Table

What makes a good board bag.

Protection The most important feature of a board bag is how well it is able to protect your stick. Although there are different types of bags available at different levels of protection, we expect the bag to provide the type the protection advertised. For example, a day bag should provide ample protection for trips around town but we wouldn’t expect it to hold up on an overseas flight. A travel bag, on the other hand, should do its due diligence and keep our board protected on a long haul trip. Before purchasing a bag, we take into consideration what kind of travel we will be doing with it and then consider the features it offers.

Transport Traveling with boards is a challenge and such, features that make the board easier to transport are always appreciated. If it’s a shortboard bag, a padded shoulder strap is a plus. If it’s a longboard bag or a bag for multiple boards, wheels are a game changer.

Ease of Use This may sound like strange criteria as surfboard bags are fairly straightforward in their design, but we want a bag that is easy to slide/off. If you’re anything like us, you’ve found yourself in a parking lot, wrestling with your board bag or sock, banging your board around in the process, and wondering if you would have done better had you left the bag at home. When we’re in the market for a board bag, we consider whether it will slide on and off easily, regardless of if the board is wet or dry. If it’s a more fitted bag, we considered zippers and how far down they go to make sure it’ll be easy to use.

What Are Some Other Factors to Consider?

Size is super important. You want a bag that fits your board snugly, to ensure maximum protection. But you also don’t want to be wrestling your bag each time you use it to try and get your board to fit. It’s a bit of a Goldilocks scenario. In general, a good rule of thumb is to order a bag that is a little longer than your board. If you’re ordering a board online, check the length, width, and thickness of your board and order accordingly. Length will determine which size bag you order and width and thickness will determine the style (for example, a 6’2” fish isn’t going to fit into a 6’2” shortboard bag).

Like surfboards, a good board bag doesn’t come cheap and as such, we want one that is going to last. For those bags we want to accompany us overseas, bags aren’t always handled with care at the airport, so you’ll want to make sure you’re getting a bag that is made from a durable material. Although it’s possible to find bags at an agreeable price point (see our top picks for value and budget, above), it’s worth spending a few extra bucks to ensure you’re not buying a board bag made of cheap fabric that’s going to quickly fall apart.

Extra Storage Although it’s not essential, it sure is nice when a bag comes with a Velcro or zippered pockets to stash your fins, leash, wax, etc. For travel bags especially, it’s nice to have a generous amount of pockets for organizing all your surf-trip essentials, but for something like a sock, all we need is a little pocket to store some wax or our keys.

The BEST Surfboard Bag for Travel (2024)

Any surfer knows the value of good equipment. The boards you ride, fins you use, and wetsuits you wear have the potential to make or break any session and are one of the most essential factors for anyone who enjoys heading into the ocean to catch some waves.

If you’re a competent surfer and own your own boards, you’ll also know that surfboards are super fragile and are quite literally made with a glass outer layer. Nothing is worse than an unprecedented ding in a new board, and protecting your equipment is paramount. This becomes especially important once you invest hundreds or thousands of dollars into your surfboard quiver and equipment.

Unfortunately, most airline baggage handlers are not surfers, which means they don’t understand the fragility of these pieces of luggage. It’s never fun to watch your boards fall out of airplanes and get thrown onto trolleys from the window of a plane, but trust me when I say that it happens.

Leveling up your travel bag game is the best way to protect your gear. Colloquially called ‘coffins’ in the surf world, surfboard bags are an absolute must if you’re traveling anywhere by plane, boat, bus or even a car. They offer a layer of protection for the most unexpected incidents and can save you a lot of tedious effort fixing dings after a long journey as well as your trip itself.

Most of the best surfboard travel bags are designed for heavy-duty protection, with padded side walls and extra cushions at the nose and tail of the board. They also offer a range of pockets and zippers to stash your surf goodies, like fins, leashes, wetsuits and bathing suits, wax blocks, sunscreen, Gopro and even towels.

Whether you’re backpacking around Hawaii on the surf trip of a lifetime or heading down to the local beach every night down that particularly unmaintained road, you need a decent bag!

In this article, I’ve searched high and low for eight of the best surfboard travel bags, r anging in price, size, and brand depending on your budget and how many boards you intend to travel with.

Do You Want to Travel FOREVER??

Pop your email in below to get a FREE copy of ‘How to Travel the World on $10 a Day!’.

DAKINE John John Florence Mission Surfboard Bag

  • Weight – 5lbs 5oz for a 7ft bag
  • Material – Nylon
  • Price – $100 – $130

If you’re familiar with any pro surfers, John John Florence would be one of them! Named after the Hawaiian prodigy, Dakine designed this surfboard bag to hold one single thruster (a board with three fins) surfboard. The board bag is made using nylon and 10mm foam padding to ensure it protects your board on the road. 

My favorite part about the cover is its heat-reflective inner, which works together with well-positioned vents to dry the board, even from the inside of the bag. Pretty neat right? This also helps keep the board cool and protected from direct sunlight, which is necessary when traveling in tropical and humid locations such as a surf trip to Sri Lanka .

Ideal for trekking through airports, the bag has a removable padded shoulder straps and handle that can be taken off when you check your bag into the airplane hold. The board bag also features internal and external pockets to store your fins, wax, leash and even things like your GoPro .

Surfica All Rounder Hybrid Surfboard Bag

  • Material – Tarplin skin, coil zipper
  • Price – $100 – $145

Surfica’s All-Rounder truly is just that – the perfect board bag for any occasion. Whether using it to travel from home to the beach or jump on an international flight to a surf destination in the tropics, this is one of the best surfboard travel bags created to transport your board as safely as possible. 

Designed using closed-cell padding technology, you can rest assured you won’t open your bag up at the destination to find unexpected dings and scuffs. The bag itself is pretty resistant, made using a traditional surfboard sock tarpaulin skin material that is hard to scratch or tear. 

Something you won’t realize you want until you need it, this board also has a removable padded shoulder strap so that you can transport the board without hurting your arm, and remove the strap before putting the board on the roof of a car or through an airport conveyer belt.

DAKINE Daylight Noserider Surfboard Bag

  • Weight – 4lb 15oz for a 9ft 6in board
  • Material – Tarpaulin outer, coil zipper
  • Price – $81 – $165

There are only so many surf brands that make board bags, and Dakine ranks high as one of the overall best surfboard bag companies in the scene. 

Crafted for longer boards ranging from 7ft 6in to 11ft longboards, the Daylight Noserider Surfboard Bag is made with a water-resistant tarpaulin outer and a thick foam insert to protect your board from dings and dents.

If you are after a lightweight surfboard bag, dont get this one. Since it is destined to carry heavy boards and equipment, the board bag has much-needed heavy-duty zippers that you can trust won’t split while on the road. The padded shoulder strap helps you carry the heavy board from A – B. I recommend this bag more as a daily driver to transport your equipment from home to the beach, and I don’t necessarily recommend it for international travel however.

DAKINE Recon Thruster Surfboard Bag

  • Weight – 8lb 6.4oz for a 7ft 6in board
  • Material – Nylon outer, foam padding
  • Price – $230

Available in both a 7ft and 7ft 6in size, Dakine’s Recon Thruster Surfboard Bag is one of the best surfboard travel bags designed for everything from local road trips to exotic surf trips across the globe. 

The most important feature of this bag is its impressive foam padding, which is designed to protect your favorite boards from reckless baggage handlers and bumpy car rides. A padded divider separates and protects the two boards from one another. There are also a ton of internal and external pockets to stash your sunscreen, wax, leashes, and fins safely.

The bag is made using a tough nylon outer shell, which protects from scratches and scuffs. The material is also heat-reflecting, which means you won’t have to worry about opening your bag to find all your wax melted and congealed against the side of your bag! Eww!

As a surfer who likes to keep options on hand, the bag can comfortably fit two surfboards so that you can have a backup board in case of an emergency or if you want to mix things up.

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

FCS Day Funboard Surfboard Bag

  • Weight – 2lb 14oz for a 6ft 7in board
  • Material – Nylon and padded foam rails
  • Price – $140

Designed primarily for lugging your boards between home, car, and beach, this board bag is much more robust than it gets credit for. Made using a rigid nylon material that is durable but not overly heavy, I rate this board as one of the better options for airplane travel. 

It’s also one of the lighter board bags on the market, which means you can stash more surf gear in without reaching your overweight limit at the airport.

I really like that our best surfboard travel bag has a stretchy panel that both allows for airflow and creates a secure fit around the rails of the board. Rails are usually the first part of the board to get damaged when traveling, but the foam rail adds further protection for unruly baggage handlers.

Take note that this bag has a broader shape, ideal for wide fish boards and funboards. I often size up with a wide board bag which allows me to fit two small surfboards snugly into a one-board bag.

Pro Lite Smuggler Series Travel Surfboard Bag

  • Weight – 11lbs for a 6ft 10in board
  • Material – 600D Polyester
  • Price – $270 – $285

With two options in a 6ft 6in and 6ft 10in length, this board bag is optimal for shortboards. Most airlines will stipulate a strict maximum two-board travel policy. However, three boards are better than two, and sometimes you need to keep all your options on hand on a surf trip. The bag is designed to fit three boards, with one being hidden from airport security under a hidden flap / false bottom. Cheeky!

You can also be sure to keep all your surf equipment in one place using the convenient pockets. The pack features a large external pocket that can fit a wetsuit and an inner pocket designed for smaller items like your fins, leashes, and blocks of wax.

For peace of mind when traveling by plane, the bag is protected with a 600D polyester foam layer and an extra reinforced nose and rail guard around the zipper.

Creatures of Leisure Shortboard Day Use DT 2 0 Surfboard Bag

  • Material – Diamond tech materials, mesh, foam, corrosion-resistant zipper
  • Price – $162

Creatures of Leisure crafted this trendy surfboard bag for those itching to get into the surf every day. It’s their range’s go-to bag for daily use and it’s perfect for any weather, come rain or shine. 

As one of the best surfboard travel bags on the market, the Day Use DT 2.0 is made with durable materials combining mesh, foam, and nylon, providing ultimate protection for bumpy car rides and accidental knocks and bashes.

My favorite thing about this bag is its aero mesh ventilation system, which protects the boards inside the bag from heat and direct sunlight, keeping boards cool and allowing airflow to dry the boards, even from within the bag.

#8 FCS – Classic All Purpose Day Bag

FCS Classic All Purpose Day Bag

  • Material – Tarpee material, easy glide zippers, foam padding
  • Price – $115 – $120

FCS is one of the most well-known international fin brands, but this company also knows how to make a good quality board bag. Ranging in size from 5ft 9 to 6ft 3in, the Classic All Purpose Day Bag is designed for precisely that – everyday use. 

With 5mm padding and an ergonomic shoulder strap, the bag will protect your boards just as much as it will protect your shoulder from discomfort while transporting the bag. One of the biggest draws of this bag is its non-corrosive zippers, which can withstand years’ worth of saltwater droplets without getting rusted or stuck.

Final Thoughts on Choosing the Best Surfboard Bag For Travel

There is nothing worse than arriving at your destination on a long-anticipated surf trip to find that your boards have been damaged along the way. Finding a place to fix a board or doing it yourself is tiring, expensive, and honestly heartbreaking if you have to fix a brand-new board.

Not only are surfboards expensive pieces of equipment, but they are also pretty much covered with a thin layer of fiberglass, which can be quick to break. This is why it is so essential to purchase the best surfboard bag for travel, to protect your fragile gear from dings while traveling via plane, boat, bus or car. It might not be on every backpacking packing list , but as a surfer it’s essential.

There are various board bags designed for traveling, some with space for multiple surfboards and other equipment. Some more technical bags (not featured on this list) even have wheels to make your travels with a large and bulky item a bit easier. It might not sound like a main priority, but be sure to pick a good quality surfboard bag before your next surf adventure to avoid any disappointment or frustration.

Clean Line Surf sells a wide range of board bags and ‘coffins,’ ranging from basic sleeve protectors to high-tech travel bags with wheels and space for up to five surfboards. Browse through this site to check out the reviews on some of the featured products.

Best Surfboard Bags For Travel

15 Best Surfboard Bags For Travel

Surfing is one of the most exciting water sports in the world, and traveling to different locations to surf can be an amazing experience.

However, when it comes to traveling with your surfboard, choosing the best surfboard bag is crucial to ensure that your board stays protected and arrives at your destination safely.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at the best surfboard bags for travel , including their features, pros, and cons, to help you make an informed decision before your next surf trip.

Types of Surfboard Bags

Before we dive into the top 15 best surfboard bags for travel, it’s important to understand the different types of surfboard bags available on the market:

Day bags – These bags are designed for daily use, providing lightweight protection for your board during short trips to the beach.

Board socks – Board socks are the simplest and most affordable type of surfboard protection. They offer minimal padding and are mainly designed to prevent scratches and minor dings.

Hybrid bags – Hybrid bags are a mix of day bags and travel bags, offering more protection than a day bag but not as much as a travel bag. They’re ideal for short trips or as a backup bag for your travel bag.

Wheeled bags – Wheeled bags are designed for longer travel and offer the most protection for your surfboard. They come with wheels and a handle, making it easier to transport your board from one location to another.

How To Pick Surfboard Travel Bag

When picking a surfboard travel bag, there are a few important factors to consider:

  • Board size: Make sure to choose a bag that fits your board size. A bag that is too small or too large may not provide adequate protection for your board.
  • Type of bag: Consider the type of bag that suits your travel needs. If you’re traveling long distances or with multiple boards, a wheeled travel bag with more padding may be ideal. If you’re just going to the beach for the day, a lightweight day bag or board sock may suffice.
  • Padding: Look for a bag with at least 8mm to 10mm of padding to provide enough protection for your board.
  • Durability: Choose a bag made from durable materials, such as heavy-duty nylon or polyester, to ensure that it lasts for many trips.
  • Additional features: Some bags come with additional features, such as pockets for storing fins or wax, or internal dividers to keep your boards separate and secure during transit.

Surf Travel Basics - How to Plan the Best Surf Trip

For surfers, traveling to surf destinations around the world is a dream come true. The thrill of exploring new surf spots, meeting fellow surfers, and experiencing different cultures is unbeatable. However, traveling internationally as a surfer can be a bit daunting, especially if you're not familiar with the destination. In this article, we'll provide some tips and tricks to help you plan your surf trip abroad and have an epic surf trip.

Let customers speak for us

I just received my third bag from Wave Tribe. First was a single bag for my mini-simons. Great bag. Second was the tiger queen wheeled coffin. The first trip with the tiger queen, the bag was badly damaged by the airline. @parkero.11 was traveling to Australia for Disabled Surfing Championships. The boards came out in perfect condition. The bag was trashed. Broken wheels, torn material and destroyed zipper. Of course, the airline doesn’t cover damage to surfboard bags. When I contacted Waves Tribe, they were super understanding. They asked if I was at the same address, and they replaced the bag for me. Honestly, the best customer service I have ever experienced. Wave Tribe provides an amazing product and even better customer service. Can say enough about this amazing company. Please help support them. They Rock!!!

Tiger Queen - Pro Quiver Style + Wheels - 4 brds

This is my second bag from WT. I absolutely love this company. The quality of their products is top shelf. My family just returned from Australia, where my son was competing at the Australian Adaptive Pro Surf Championships. Our bag arrived in Australia badly damaged by the airline. All three boards arrived in perfect condition, despite the abuse from the airline. Of course, surfboard bags are not covered by the airlines bag policy. When I contacted WT with my disappointment, they replaced my bag. Absolutely the best products and service ever. Thank you Wave Tribe!

Tiger Queen - Pro Quiver Style + Wheels - 4 brds

The Wavetribe Eco Surfboard Leash is top quality product, comfortable in use, and it is made of recycled materials. It just couldn't get better.

Eco Surfboard Leash

Overall, I love my 6'7 travel bag (wheeled). Great protection and easily fits 2 boards in the 6'2 - 6'4 range that are also wrapped in pipe insulation. I've used this bag 5 times for air travel and no damage yet. The one small issue is the hemp cloth exterior. Baggage handlers love to rest bags on the end of the conveyor belts, which causes a lot of black marks on it and rubs the material. I have 3 tears in the bag that I've taped with duct tape as a result...not a huge deal but a stronger outer skin would be ideal. Otherwise, it's great - strong, easy to roll, light weight, and has padding in the right places.

My bare feet stick to the board and it doesn't poison the fish.

Wave Tribe 100% Eco Wax

Gave the Eco wax a try and it's quality. Great hold without being too tacky. Wave tribe customer for life.

Thanks for the killer deal on the sock! It looks great!

Skull Eco Board Sock - Shortboard

You guys rock!

Pioneer Day Boardbag

Thanks again for your amazing customer service. I love what your company is doing and what you stand for.

This bag is awesome.

Super string and awesome zippers.

Just like the canned tamales, this bag is XLNT! It's also my favorite brand and model board bag, and it costs no more than Brand X cheapos. You can pay more but won't get better than the Pioneer Hemp Day bag. The only thing this bag needs is more sizes in the 7 range - it jumps from 6'6" to 7'6", and you need to offer 6'10", 7' and 7'2" bags. At least offer them to me!!!

Pioneer Shortboard - 1 Brd - 6'6 - 7'6

Love the site! Love what you guys are doing, totally rad.

Great quality at a great price.

Hemp Pioneer | Surfboard Bag | 1 Brd - All Sizes

Great board bag, nice snug fit. The colors match my board and the handwritten note was a cool touch. Thanks.

Khabarovsk: The city on the 5,000 ruble banknote

A night view of Khabarovsk, the capital of Russia's Far East. Source: Lori/Legion-Media

A night view of Khabarovsk, the capital of Russia's Far East. Source: Lori/Legion-Media

Located at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, Khabarovsk (6140 kilometers from Moscow) is the second largest city in the Russian Far East after Vladivostok. Having grown from a small military post in the middle of the 19 th  century, the city got its name from the famous Russian explorer Yerofei Khabarov, who surveyed the Amur River. Currently Khabarovsk is the administrative center of the Far Eastern Federal District.

Where to go on a first date with the city

Source: Lori/Legion-Media

The city was founded by Count Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky and the main street is named in his honor. Modern buildings and shopping centers coexist with old stone houses of gray and red. A monument to this famous Russian statesman can be found in the city’s Central Park. This statue can also be seen on the 5,000-ruble banknote.

The best way to explore Khabarovsk is on foot, beginning at Lenin Square and working your way towards the banks of the Amur River. The two main boulevards, Amursky and Ussuriisky, run parallel to each other. The architecture on Lenin and Serysheva streets, with its mostly Stalin-era structures, differs from the beautiful pre-revolutionary buildings on ul. Muravieva-Amurskogo. The Amursky and Ussuriisky boulevards did not exist until the mid-1960s.

Khabarovsk is not a typical Russian city along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The unusual fusion of Russian and Chinese cultures is felt in the food, culture and even lifestyle of its residents. Japanese touches complement this picture in the form of blossoming cherry trees and cars with steering wheels on the right hand side. That Khabarovsk has such a strong Asian influence should not seem surprising, as the city is located only 17 kilometers from the state border with China. The nearest Chinese settlement, Fuyuan, is 65 kilometers down the river from Khabarovsk.

Khabarovsk’s gem is its picturesque river embankment and the Amursky rail and road bridge, which is also depicted on the 5,000-ruble banknote. Just like the Eiffel Tower, this bridge won the gold medal of the World Exhibition in Paris in the early 20 th  century.

Khabarovsk's museums

surfboard travel bag

Khabarovsk became famous during the Soviet period for a popular song about border guards that stand on the "high banks of the Amur" and protect the motherland. It is not hard to find old cannons on display in the city that were fired during the Russo-Japanese War.

At the present time Khabarovsk is the headquarters of Russia’s Far Eastern Military District.

The Military Historical Museum of the Far Eastern Military District depicts in great detail everything you ever wanted to know about the formation and development of the army in the Far East. Models of weapons from different years are exhibited over the museum’s 13 halls and heavy military equipment is placed in the courtyard of an observation deck. The museum itself is located in a historic building right on the bank of the Amur River.

The Far Eastern Art Museum, also known as the "Far East Tretyakov Gallery" features original works of ancient Russian art, as well as local artists from the Amur Region. Among the artists on display are Ivan Aivazovsky, Ivan Shishkin, Ilya Repin, Vasily Surikov, Isaak Levitan, Alexander Benois, Apollinaris Vasnetsov and Mikhail Vrubel. Many of these works of art came to the Far East from museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The Khabarovsk Regional Museum holds collections of flora and fauna, ethnography exhibits of indigenous peoples and Slavic settlers, and displays by paleontologists and geologists that tell the city’s story from its foundation. The only archaeological museum in the Far East is the Okladnikov Museum, which features 120,000 ancient artifacts pertaining to the Amur Region.

For those traveling with children, Khabarovsk has special kid-friendly attractions including an aquarium featuring fresh water fish of the Amur River basin, as well as the Gaidar Amusement Park and the Khabarovsk State Circus.

A living museum of Far Eastern flora can be found at the Khabarovsk Arboretum, established as an experimental laboratory in 1896. It has collected about 300 plant species that grow in the Ussuri taiga as well as those from the Himalayas, Central Asia and North America.

Khabarovsk is known for its parks such as Dynamo or Yuri Gagarin Park. The Central Park of Culture and Relaxation is perfect for taking leisurely strolls and leads to the river station located within the park, where you can take a boat ride on the Amur River. Especially memorable is taking a walk along the river at night, when Khabarovsk is illuminated by hundreds of colored lights. In the park there is also an observation deck that offers a spectacular view of the Amur.

The cultural center of the Far East

The oldest Orthodox Church in Khabarovsk is a Church of St. Innocentius  of Irkutsk, erected in 1870 in honor of the patron saint of Siberia and the Far East. The impressive Holy Transfiguration Cathedral (its height with golden domes is 95 meters), built from the donations of inhabitants of the region, is the third largest temple in Russia after Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral and St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

Several major theaters operate in Khabarovsk, which is often called the cultural center of the Far East. These include the Khabarovsk Regional Musical Theater performing classic operetta and musical comedy, and the Regional Drama Theatre featuring international and domestic classics. There is also the Triad professional mime theater, which offers unusual performances in interesting interiors. 

Why you should climb the Khabarovsk cliff

surfboard travel bag

Khabarovsk is hot and humid in the summer with temperatures reaching 30 C and cold and dry in the winter with the average temperature being -24 C. However, the temperatures often drop below -30, making Khabarovsk the coldest city with a population of 500,000 or more in the world. There are massive ice sculptures on Lenin Square from January until the spring thaw in April as part of the annual Amur Crystal and Ice Fantasy festivals. City Day, celebrated on the last Saturday of May, is a good reason to visit Khabarovsk at the beginning of summer.

No matter the season, if it is clear, then climb the Khabarovsk cliff (ul. Shevchenko 15), a true symbol of the city. A famous building was constructed here on a rocky promontory 70 years ago by an architect named Starikov. At first it was a station for military observation, later becoming a rescue station. After the building was transferred to Khabarovsk Central Park of Culture and Recreation, a viewing platform was added that now offers the best panoramic views of the Amur River. Take a selfie here with a view of the Amur River at the monument to Count Muravyov-Amursky.
