Choosing The Right Surfboard Socks

By Janet Perry


If youre a surfer, next to your family, you might love your surfboard best. Or you might even love it best of all, who knows. However heartfelt your sentiments are, you arent really doing it justice if you dont get surfboard socks for your sporting gear.

Just another thing to buy. You might be asking yourself, why in the world would you need a board bag. Well, were sorry, but you would have to ask a more reasonable question than that.

However, thats not saying that you cant pull of FANCY. Really, though, aside from its importance, you can also vamp up your gears appearance with ultra cool designs. Makes you love the surfboard even more. It can come in varieties. That is why if you wont like the same bag with Josh or Sharon next door, thats not a problem. You may still pull off customization and personalization with your own creative and artsy bag.

Therefore, although they are not as durable as theyre wont, you may rest assured that they are more effective and functional than how they used to be. However, the caveat is that they get easily damaged, especially when the owner doesnt take lengths to protect them. You will be able to do away with the potential damage if you have a surf bag, or sock, to protect the board.

We know that surfboards are not exactly your idea of cheap wares. That is a fact, or else everyone would have had surfboards by now. Really, though, when youre purchasing something thats not exactly ten a cent then you would probably want it to last as long as its stipulated service life.

There are even surfboard travel bags that fit at most two or more boards. How cool is that. Since it is tagged as Travel after all, then you may rest assured that its made with the best intent for convenience in mind. It is easy to carry or cart around, and your only problem will probably be storage. The things to consider are pretty much intuitive, and you dont really have to get your head in a mush just because of it.

The basic thing is to make good sure the bag fits the board. Really, though, how hard can that get. If the surfbag is too big, then you might guess that the board will just bump around the casing, which is still not good for it. If its too small, then you can also be sure that the zippers will harm the edges of your board. Finding the perfect size shouldnt be an issue, as some bags will come tagged with the models it can house. Also, look at the nose shape, on whether its pointed, round, or semi round.

Even something as seemingly innocuous as the sun can harm your baby, we mean your board. That might seem a crazy idea, seeing how surfing equals the beach, and the beach equals the sun, and of course, the latter will always be a quintessential part in this equation. However, we arent talking tosh here, and really, the ultraviolet rays from the brightest star will delaminate and blister your gear. The best you can do is to insulate your board in its sock, which creates a nifty micro climate that cocoons it from harsh UV rays.

Choosing a board sock is not exactly rocket science, and there arent a lot of finicky nitty gritty either. Its all gut feeling more than anything else. Therefore, you would naturally want manufacturers that have a feel of the great sport itself, those that understand your needs and make bolt holes to make them happen.
