Ocean & Earth COR_X Fish Stretch Cover Bag

A stretch cover isn't impact protection — it's protection from everything else: sand, sun, dust in the car and the accidental scrape against a doorframe. The fabric is thick polyester stretch that pulls on like a sock and doesn't flap.

The nose has its own panel in tough nylon-polyester, since that's the end that finds obstacles first. The tail closes with a drawcord and toggle, so the cover stays put while you carry it.

Cut for a fish — short and wide. The usual case: the board lives in the car or a corner of the flat and goes to the beach daily. On and off in seconds, unlike a zipped cover.

Who it isn't for. Flying is out — there's no foam at all and the board would arrive broken. It won't keep rain off either; the fabric isn't water repellent. And fins are best removed first.
