Surfboard Bags & Board Storage Bags

Of course! At decathlon.com.gr you will find specialized surfboard bags and covers to transport your board with comfort and safety. Our collection includes various types of covers, from stretch surf socks for daily use to heavy-duty padded surfboard travel bags for safe trips.

Surfboard bags at Decathlon are designed by surfers for surfers and stand out for the following technical features:
Durable materials: They are made of thick polyester (600D) that resists tears and abrasion.
Thermal protection: They feature a reflective or heat-insulating coating on one side, which prevents excessive temperature build-up inside, protecting your board's wax from melting and its foam material from deteriorating in the sun.
Foam padding: The travel bags feature foam lining (usually 5mm to 10mm), offering excellent shock absorption during transport.

The choice is based on the shape, the length of your board, and the type of transportation. The cover must match the size of your board (measured in feet and inches, e.g., 6'0", 7'2", 8'6"). Also, select based on the shape, as there are bags with a narrower nose for shortboards/fish and wider bags for hybrid, Malibu, or longboards. Furthermore, if you simply want to protect the board inside your car trunk or on the roof rack for a quick drive to the nearby beach, a stretch surf sock is enough. But if you are going to travel by boat or airplane, you definitely need a padded travel bag with thick foam lining.

The two main types of surfboard covers offer different advantages. Soft surf socks are made of elastic, knitted fabric. They are very lightweight, take up minimal space when folded, are easy to wash, and protect the board from minor scratches, sun, and dust, while keeping your car clean from wax. However, they do not protect against heavy impacts.
Padded travel bags are rugged constructions featuring foam lining, heavy-duty zippers, and a water-resistant outer layer. They offer maximum protection against drops, bumps, and pressure during travel, and come with shoulder straps and accessory pockets, but they are bulkier and more expensive.

To make your surfboard bag last for years, follow a few simple maintenance steps! After each surf session, shake the bag thoroughly to remove sand and rinse the zippers with fresh water, as sea salt can corrode them and cause them to get stuck. If wax has transferred to the inside of the bag, leave it in the sun to warm up slightly and scrape the melted wax off carefully with a board scraper or wipe it down with absorbent paper towels. Finally, never close a wet or damp board inside the bag. Let both the board and the bag dry completely in a shaded place to avoid mold and odor development.

Most of Decathlon's padded surfboard bags feature a water-resistant and water-repellent polyurethane outer coating, as well as a waterproof inner lining. This means they protect your board if it rains while tied to the roof rack of your car, and simultaneously prevent water from a wet board from messing up the interior of your vehicle. However, you should know that these bags are not 100% waterproof for submersion in water (due to the zippers and seams), but they offer the ideal and most reliable protection for all your outdoor transits.
