It is cut to the exact volume of a factory-rolled board, which is not how anyone rolls a board at the end of a wet afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>A better bag is bigger, stronger and carries properly. The difference between a hundred litre bag and a hundred and twenty is the difference between kneeling on the zip and closing it one-handed.<\/p>\n<p>What separates them is fabric weight, strap design and whether there are wheels. A loaded board bag is twenty five to thirty five pounds, and every one of those pounds sits on your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>We compared nine bags, eight for inflatables and one padded travel cover for hard boards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cb-facts\" style=\"--cb-facts-cols:4\"><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span class=\"n\">9<\/span><span class=\"t\">bags compared<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span

A hundred and ten to a hundred and twenty litres leaves room for the pump, the paddle, a fin and a wet towel, which is what you are actually carrying home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the denier<\/strong>: 600D is a car boot bag, 1680D is a bag that survives baggage handlers and gravel. The difference in price is fifteen or twenty dollars, and the difference in lifespan is years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Straps carry weight, wheels carry distance<\/strong>: A loaded bag is twenty five to thirty five pounds. Wide padded straps with a chest clip make that manageable, a waist belt makes it comfortable, and wheels make it irrelevant on hard ground and useless on sand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check the length against your board<\/strong>: Most bags are cut for boards up to about eleven feet. Touring and race boards roll longer and thicker, and forcing one into a short bag strains the zip until it fails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hard boards need a padded cover, not a backpack<\/strong>: Inflatable bags are unpadded sacks. A hard board needs foam at the nose and tail, a reflective upper so it does not overheat, and a fitted length. They are not interchangeable purchases.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">What size bag do I need for my paddle board?<\/h3>Measure the rolled board rather than trusting the board length. A ten to eleven foot inflatable rolls into roughly 100 to 110 litres with its accessories, and a twelve foot touring board wants 120 litres or a bag specifically rated to 12 ft 6. Extra volume costs nothing except a slightly looser pack.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Can I put a wet board in the bag?<\/h3>You can get it home that way, but unroll and dry the board before storing it. Trapped moisture in a rolled board grows mould along the seams and inside the fin box, and no amount of bag ventilation prevents that.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Are wheeled board bags worth it?<\/h3>On hard ground and at airports, very much so. On sand and grass, the wheels are dead weight and you carry the bag anyway. Buy wheels if your usual carry is a long paved path, and skip them if it is a beach.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Will an inflatable board bag fit a hard board?<\/h3>No. Inflatable bags are unpadded and sized for a roll, so a hard board arrives dented.
