A burning question:  are cheap surfboard bags worth buying?  A quick answer:  no.

To explain:  cheap surfboard bags either break or don’t work.  Some cheap surfboard bags might offer protection for your board, sure – but there’s little point in having a board protected by a bag with a broken zip, unless you don’t care that you can never surf it again.  And a beautiful zip action does nothing to redeem the majority of cheap surfboard bags from the fact that they have the protective capabilities of a butterfly’s wing.

On the other hand:  some cheap surfboard bags are not cheap surfboard bags at all, but proper non-cheap surfboard bags thrown into kit deals at palatable prices.  If you get a board made by a decent shaper, chances are he or she will offer you a bag to go with:  a really decent shaper will be getting good bags direct from factory and can sell you cheap board bags from real names at warehouse prices.   To be honest, the best (and only) place to get worthwhile cheap board bags from are good shapers:  if you’re getting a stick made, ask about cheap board bags and see what you can save.  Often, as much as 50%.

The travel-inclined might find an even more palatable way to get their hooks on cheap board bags. Go on a surf trip to the places they’re made in.  Like every other quality item in the UK (Armani suits, Jaeger wool), surfboard bags are made in Taiwan, Indonesia:  places with hot beaches and good waves.  If you want the best cheap surfboard bags in the world, go to Indo for a couple of months, surf your head off and pick up an £800 coffin bag for twenty quid.  Then buy a load more cheap surfboard bags, load them into the first one, and sell them back home for fifty pounds a go.  These are real cheap surfboard bags – the exact same ones that the big brands sell you for hundreds.
