A comprehensive run-down on some the best board bags
Presented by Coastalwatch
Board bags are big section within the accessories category and winter is the time they move, with a lot of Australian surfers travelling to Indo, the Maldives and the Pacific islands in search of warm water and round tubes. There is a lot of choice out there for the consumer with high tech, multi-board bags, basic single covers and super lightweight bags designed to minimise excess baggage charges. So it is important that the staff selling the bags know the differences between bags, the pros and cons and has the ability to assess the customer’s needs.
In this guide, Tim Hanrahan from Aloha Manly Style and Ben McCartney, chief swell forecaster for Coastalwatch and a very experienced surf traveller, run through 14 of the best board bags on the market. Once your staff is across the guide it should ensure you have happy customers leaving your store with the right product.
