15 Best Surfboard Day Bags

• If you’re headed to the beach the summer, do yourself a favor and protect your surf equipment with a reliable surfboard day bag. Unlike surfboard travel bags, surfboard day bags are lightweight, easily transportable, and designed for only 1-2 boards. The Oceanbroad Surfboard Longboard Day bag is an affordable day bag that comes in a variety of sizes, from your standard shortboard lengths up to 10’0.” This surfboard day bag features a durable heavy-duty reflective outer shell that will protect your board from the sun’s harmful UV rays and unwanted dings and damage.

If you’ve gone through your fair share of surfboard day bags, you know that not all surfboard day bags are designed for a specific board shape, which means a lot of boards fit loosely in day bags, which can lead to accidental damage.

This bag will fit your thruster snuggly wrapped in 1/4″ foam padding with a durable 600D polyester top and heat reflective tarpaulin bottom.
