The Best Surfboard Bags

You’ve put plenty of time, energy, and money into your surfboards, so it’s only natural to want them well-protected on the road. That’s exactly what the Dakine Mission Hybrid delivers.

This bag is built to safely transport a single surfboard, keeping it secure no matter where your travels take you. It features a TPU venting system to help expel moisture and maintain a dry interior, plus 3/8" of dense closed-cell foam padding to protect your board from scratches, dings, and travel bumps.

Durability is a priority—Dakine reinforced the bag with metal hardware, making it far more robust than a standard cover. It’s a serious piece of travel gear. On top of that, the Mission Hybrid includes several convenient stash pockets for wax, fins, and other surfing essentials.

The padded shoulder strap ensures comfortable carrying, and it can be detached and stored inside the bag to avoid snags while on the move.

In short, the Dakine Mission Hybrid is a dependable travel bag that offers strong protection, thoughtful features, and a clean design—making it an ideal choice for any surfer on the go.

Pro-Lite has been crafting high-quality surf travel bags since 1982, and the Rhino is a standout example of their expertise.

For surfers who want something lighter than a wheeled bag but still protective, the Rhino delivers. It comes with 10mm of padding designed to handle the bumps and jostles of airline travel, keeping your board safe wherever you go.

A built-in divider separates boards and prevents wax transfer, while strong molded, corrosion-resistant zippers glide smoothly even in wet, salty conditions.

The Rhino also comes loaded with practical features like a fin pocket, strap pocket, drainage holes, and more. It accommodates extra-wide hybrid boards as well, making it a versatile and reliable travel companion for any surfer on the move.

A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your surfboard safe, especially when you’re on the move. The Dakine Daylight Hybrid surfboard bag delivers dependable protection without costing a fortune.

With 1/4-inch foam padding, it safeguards your board from dings and dents while staying lightweight. Its spacious design easily fits wider and hybrid-shaped boards.

Crafted from heat- and water-resistant materials, the Daylight Hybrid is built to withstand serious travel. Durable YKK coil zippers ensure long-lasting performance, and padded shoulder straps make it easier to carry.

For surfers seeking a reliable, well-padded bag that won’t hurt the budget, the Dakine Daylight Hybrid is an excellent option.

Surf gear can be expensive, but Pro-Lite makes protecting your board more affordable with the Resession Fish/Hybrid day bag. It shields your board from bumps and the elements as you travel to your favorite surf spots.

The Resession is equipped with molded, corrosion-resistant zippers that stand up to salt and stay smooth, ensuring hassle-free use every time.

Made from tough silver tarpaulin, this bag is built for durability. It also features a spacious external pocket with a dedicated compartment for wax, keeping your gear neatly organized.

The wide top opening makes loading and unloading your board simple. At 26.5" across, the Resession comfortably fits most fish and hybrid boards, with boards up to 24" wide (depending on thickness) generally fitting with ease.

FCS offers a dependable soft bag with the Stretch Funboard Surfboard bag, straightforward, reliable, and exactly what you need. Extra padding at the nose gives added protection, while the soft polyester material keeps your board safe and scratch-free.

Ideal for short trips from home to the surf, this bag is designed with Fish and Funboard shapes in mind. It shields your board from wax transfer, scratches, dust, and UV exposure during day trips.

The Creatures of Leisure Fish Day Use Bag is designed for everyday use and can easily accommodate a single board, including wider funboard shapes.

Your board is protected by 5mm of dense foam and an expandable closed-cell sidewall. An integrated airflow ventilation system helps remove moisture and prevents heat buildup inside the bag.

Carrying is comfortable thanks to a padded shoulder strap with 10mm of cushioning, making longer trips much easier on your shoulders.

A standout feature we love at Paddleboard Surf is the solid warranty. This Creatures of Leisure bag comes with a 2-year warranty—a rare offering in the market. Not only is it well-designed, but the company also backs its product, which adds extra peace of mind.
