Hi guys,
I read on seabreeze a discussion about pros and cons of using socks and board bag (the topic was too old to resurrect the reason I have to open a new one). I read the opinion from previouse discussion and have learnt that good bag should:

-Using: polyester canvas fabric- not collecting clippings sticks and sand from the beach
-Not stretchy so it not slips around when lifting
-easier way to put on
-protect from UV and roofbars from the wax

I would like to ask for your opinion. Whats more the dream sock should have to be "the one"?

I was thinking to make some of them on my spare time, and would like to hear about some opinions

most of the blokes in here don't own boards long enough to get scratches and problems with fading

Hard to argue with that

Socks do no more than help prevent your wax from melting. Proper board bags with padding are so cheap these days, have a look on ebay.

Or make one with padding like SP describes, thats pretty cool if ya missus has a sewing machine. Might havta get mine to make one, reckon she'd love it

Yeah I didn't sew mine

My main reason is I can fit more boards on the rack if they aren't in a padded cover.

So they get put on the rack in a sock and slipped into a proper padded one for traveling.

And As you said a good padded cover is cheap these days.

Sideways make a good one as do Sanctum and very reasonably priced.

I actually got a curve one for traveling with more then 1 board. Haven't used it yet but looks good..
