Why Use a Surfboard Sock?
A surfboard sock provides a simple layer between your board and everything around it.
It helps reduce direct contact with car interiors, walls, storage racks and other surfboards while also containing wax and sand after a surf session.
Compared with a full padded board bag, a knitted surfboard sock is lighter, easier to store and quicker to use for everyday surf trips.
