The Best Surfboard Bags

You’ve invested a lot of time, effort, and money into your surfboards, so it makes sense to give them some extra protection when you hit the road. The Dakine Mission Hybrid is built to deliver exactly that.

This bag is designed to safely carry a single surfboard, keeping it secure throughout your travels. It features a TPU venting system that helps remove moisture and keeps the interior dry, along with 3/8" of dense closed-cell foam padding to shield your board from the inevitable bumps and dings.

Durability is key, Dakine reinforced the bag with metal hardware to add strength and longevity. This isn’t a flimsy cover; it’s a serious piece of travel gear. The Mission Hybrid also includes multiple stash pockets for wax, fins, and other essentials.

The padded shoulder strap adds comfort, and we love that it can be detached and stored inside the bag to prevent it from getting caught during transit.

Overall, the Dakine Mission Hybrid is a reliable travel bag that combines strong protection, smart features, and a sleek design, making it an excellent choice for any traveling surfer.

Pro-Lite has been known for producing top-quality surf travel bags since 1982, and the Rhino is a perfect example of their expertise.

If you want a travel bag that’s much lighter than a wheeled option but still offers excellent padding and protection, the Rhino fits the bill. With 10mm of foam built to withstand the rigors of airline travel, your board stays safe no matter where you go.

A built-in divider keeps boards separated and prevents wax from transferring, while durable molded, non-corrosive zippers ensure smooth operation, even with salty, wet conditions.

The Rhino is packed with thoughtful features, including a fin pocket, strap pocket, drainage holes, and more. It’s also ideal for extra-wide hybrid shapes, making it a versatile and dependable choice for traveling surfers.

Even a little care goes a long way when it comes to protecting your surfboard, especially during travel. The Dakine Daylight Hybrid surfboard bag offers solid protection without draining your wallet.

This bag features 1/4-inch thick foam padding to shield your board from dings and dents while remaining lightweight. Its roomy design also accommodates wider and hybrid-shaped boards with ease.

Built from heat- and water-resistant materials, the Daylight Hybrid is durable enough for serious travel. The sturdy YKK coil zippers hold up over time, and the padded shoulder straps make carrying more comfortable.

If you want a reliable, well-padded surfboard bag that won’t break the bank, the Dakine Daylight Hybrid is a great choice.

Surf gear can be pricey, but Pro-Lite makes it easier on your wallet with the solid Resession Fish/Hybrid day bag. This bag keeps your board safe from bumps and the elements while you travel to your favorite surf spots.

The Resession features molded, non-corrosive zippers designed to resist salt and prevent sticking, ensuring smooth operation every time.

Constructed from durable silver tarpaulin, the bag is built to last. It also includes a generous external storage pocket, complete with a dedicated wax compartment to keep your gear organized.

The top opens wide for easy loading and unloading of your board. Measuring 26.5" across, the Resession fits most fish and hybrid boards. Keep in mind, boards up to 24" wide (depending on thickness) will generally fit comfortably.

FCS delivers a solid soft bag with the Stretch Funboard Surfboard bag, simple, reliable, and exactly what you’d expect. Extra padding at the nose provides added protection, and the soft polyester material keeps your board safe and scratch-free.

This bag is perfect for short trips between your home and the surf spot. Designed with Fish and Funboard shapes in mind, it protects your board from wax transfer, scratches, dust, and UV exposure during day trips.

The Creatures of Leisure Fish Day Use Bag is built for daily use and can comfortably hold a single board, including wider funboard shapes.

Your board stays protected with 5mm of dense foam and an expandable closed-cell sidewall. An integrated airflow ventilation system helps wick moisture away and keeps heat from building up inside the bag.

The padded shoulder strap, cushioned with 10mm of foam, ensures comfortable carrying on longer trips.

One standout feature we appreciate at Paddleboard Surf is a solid warranty. This Creatures of Leisure bag comes with a 2-year warranty, a rarity in the market. Not only is this bag well-designed, but the company also stands behind its product, which we really value.
