Apart from protecting your longboard, the best longboard bags have extra spaces to let you store your gear. Whether you are planning to do tricks or cover long distances, these bags will make sure you have the necessary gear to do so.
I hope to elicit an agreement from you when I say: It’s very difficult carrying longboards from one place to the other.
In stark contrast to what most people believe, weight isn’t the only hindrance in the portability of a longboard. Rather, it is the fragility of the longboards which makes carrying them a hellish task. That is, without proper protection, even the best longboards are prone to damage.
It is where the longboard bags come into play.

PAMGEA Surfboard Sock Cover
There are two kinds of longboard bags available in the market: those which protect against color fading and minor scratches and those which protect against cracks and major dings. The PAMGEW Longboard belongs to the latter category. Buy it, and your longboard will be as protected as you are in your home.
Features
Although a little bulky and heavier, this is the longboard bag that you need for everyday usage. Whether you are heading south for taking sun or north for the cool breeze, it’s 27’’ opening will make sure that your longboard slides right in.
What’s more, if you live in a sunny area, you might need a bag which is heat resistant. Otherwise, especially if your longboard has funky colors, the sun rays will cause it to fade.
Thankfully, due to the semi-reflective PE shell – which adorns both the top and bottom of this bag, it will protect your board from sun rays. Subsequently, there will be fewer chances of your board fading in the sunlight.
Finally, if you are going far away from your home, you might need some extra space to store your gear. That is where the external pocket of this bag will come into play. Just like the main opening, it also contains a zip to let you store your items with ease.
- Has a Velcro closure system to make sure your longboard stays in
- Padded shoulder strap will allow lifting heavier longboards with ease
- Heat reflecting top cloth won’t let your longboard’s colors to fade
- Expensive, costs as much as the majority of longboards
Final Verdict
Everybody needs a home and your longboard is no different. If you want it to last longer, investing your money in this bag is a shrewd choice.
Hubro Designs Boosted Board Backpack
While the previous bag will protect your longboard on trips down south, this one – thanks to its water resistant covering, will do the same on trips up north. Hence, if you sense that winter is coming – and want to protect your board from it, invest in this bag.
Features
The most important feature of this bag lies in its high-density closed foam padding. Since it is sewn into the bag, this coating makes it water resistant. What’s more, since a tarpaulin material has been used in the form of padding, it has made the bag both water and heat resistant.
However, in case you were wondering, the foam padding is just ¼’’. It means that despite providing double protection against heat and water, the padding hasn’t added significant weight to the bag. Consequently, it is lightweight.
Also, if you love downhill riding, you’d need a bag with a shoulder strap. In this way, you can carry on doing long hikes with minimum fuss and maximum effort. And as you might guess, the Hubro Designs Boosted Board Backpack – thanks to its padded shoulder strap, will give you the same comfort.
Finally, most of us have encountered in our lives bags whose zippers gave way after minimum usage. This one, however, thanks to its heavy duty 10Coil Zipper, will never ditch you midway. Whether you are going around the corner of traveling the world, the zipper will remain intact.
- Both heat and water resistant
- Padding hasn’t added significant weight to the bag
- Has a zippered fin slot to store your gear
- Shoulder strap is padded
- Its padding isn’t airline approved
Final Verdict
Though costing a fortune, this bag – with its fins, has the ability to house even the biggest of longboards with aplomb. Add to the mix its heat and water resistant capability, and you have a serious product under your attention.
Curve Surfboard Bag
While both the abovementioned longboards were also heat resistant, this one – via its silver poly fabric, has taken the game to the next level. Hence, while it does have a few shortcomings – the strap isn’t padded, the benefits are more than enough to justify its lofty price tag.
Features
Although there are many materials known for their heat resistance, silver is, undoubtedly, the best of them all. Due to its reflective upper surface, silver doesn’t allow the product which it is supposed to protect to see the light of the day.
Hence, if you have grown tired of longboards fading in the sunlight, you need this board cover. For, it is protected by a silver poly fabric that is known for decades to be the biggest opponent of sunlight.
Also, if you know that your bag will be subjected to abuse, you cannot compromise on its fiber thickness. Put simply, you need to invest in a cover that has a high denier count.
This is exactly where this board will say, Hello!
Experts tell us that the higher the denier count, the thicker, sturdier and durable the fabric will be. Conversely, if the denier count is low, the fabric will be soft, sheer and silky. And since the silver fabric used on this cover has a mammoth denier count of 600, it can withstand the worst of abuse without breaking a sweat.
- Strong, Sturdy and durable
- Has a high denier count
- Highly heat and water resistant
- Huge space can store two small-sized longboards
- The shoulder strap isn’t padded
Final Verdict
If you think you can live without a padded shoulder strap, I see no reason why you shouldn’t go for this bag cover.

Finally, look at ordinary surfboard bags, and you’d find out they just don’t have enough padding. However, this bag is different.
