I’m looking for a surfboard bag to fit my santa cruz pumpkin seed… it’s 5′8″ and 19″ wide. I recently got a fcs explorer bag bug it just barely would not fit and i had to ship it back. Anyone know of a good strong “Travel” bag that will fit it.
(not looking for a day bag for easy carrying, looking for something more for travel and trips for better board protection)
Thanks.

Are surfboard bags and.or socks safe to use with a board rack (specifically an fcs soft rack) or does it have a possibility of slipping off. Also, what is a better investment,a board sock or bag and why? Any answers or other suggestions would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!
Surfboards are measured by various dimensions: length, width, and thickness. The length of the surfboard will determine how easily you catch the wave. The longer the board is, the easier it will be to catch the wave. The width of the board will help you with balance. The wider it is, the more balance you will have out in the water. Finally, the thickness of the board will provide you with float. The thicker it is, the more buoyant you will be. You will usually find these dimensions measured in inches and written on the underbelly of the board on the stringer by the tail.
Surfboards are usually made of one or a combination of three materials: wood, fiberglass, and epoxy. Wooden boards were the first surfboards ever used to ride waves but have since become expensive to make and therefore relatively obsolete. Most surfers have balsa wood boards hanging on their walls as collector’s items. They are sturdy but heavy.
