DO I NEED A SURFBOARD COVER AND WHAT SIZE DO I NEED?

Yes, a surfboard cover is a must. Covers protect your board from scratches, dings and exposure to UV light. They provide a protective layer that shields your board from the external elements. Covers also help keep your board clean from sand and dirt accumulating over time. The cleaner your board – the longer it lasts.

The size of the cover you need depends on your board size. Measure your surfboard from nose to tail, which will give you the length of your board. Most surfboard covers are designed to fit boards within a few inches of their length. Choose a cover that matches the length of your board as closely as possible. If your board is wider than usual, choose a cover designed for wide boards. Also, covers come in different shapes, so try to match your board shape (short, long, and fish) to the cover.
