When you own a surfboard, it's essential to protect it as well as possible for transport and even storage. At ALL-IN, we understand that your surfboard is like your baby: it will be pampered, admired and protected like the apple of your eye. That's why we've come up with some rather original surfboard covers, designed for optimum protection. In the following lines, we'll tell you about their features (which make our covers the board protection you've been dreaming of) and help you choose the right size for your board and your needs.
Surf socks: a great choice!
Are you hesitating between a classic cover or a surf sock to protect your equipment? Stop wondering now, the sock has many advantages, and we'll tell you all about them here!
What it has more than the others
- Lightweight! Made entirely from fabric, the weight of the surf sock is minimal compared with conventional covers, which are often heavy and bulky. Travel light 😉
- Ease of use: its soft material allows it to glide easily over the board, making it quick and easy to put on. Putting on and taking off the sock is effortless, especially in the sun on the beach after your session.
- Top ventilation: the sock's breathable, absorbent fabric is ideal for drying off or wicking away moisture after using your board.
- It takes up very little space, making it the most compact and easy-to-store option.
- It saves you money! Surf socks are often cheaper than classic covers, so why deprive yourself?
Protecting your board
Of course, this is a benefit we're not forgetting: your sock cover will come in very handy when it comes to protecting your board. Its 380g/m² 100% cotton terry cloth is a thick, ultra-absorbent material, perfect for its barrier function all around your board. On top of this, the top end of the cover has been reinforced with heavy-duty Ripstop Nylon. This provides extra protection for the nose of your board. So, with this protection, you're safe from scratches and scuffs. It also protects your surfboard from the sun and the damaging effects of UV rays on the resin, if you tend to leave it outdoors (beach, garden, bike, etc.).
Protecting your car
Another important advantage of the sock cover is that it will protect the vehicle designed to carry your surfboard... Have you ever left a huge smear of sticky wax on your car seats? Or a ton of sand fallen from your board between the seats? Or even better, a large saltwater smear on your car's interior upholstery? Well, with your sock cover, you can forget all about those bad memories. This terry cloth cover will allow you to get your board into any vehicle, damage-free and stress-free. It retains sand, absorbs moisture and insulates the wax. Now that you're convinced, we'll explain how to choose the right size of surf sock for your board.
ALL-IN surf sock sizes
Whatever the treasures in your quiver, ALL-IN has the right sock cover to protect your beloved boards. Browse the info below, find your board size and go straight to the sock you need!
Note: surfboard sizes are expressed in Anglo-Saxon units of measurement, i.e. in feet. A board measuring 1m82 in height is called a 6'0 board (= 6 feet).
Socks for shortboard, mid-length and longboard
If you ride a small fish or shortboard, you've come to the right place! We've got surf socks that fit boards between 6 and 7 feet high.
There's no need for complicated calculations or measurements - we've done it for you. All you need to do is find out the size of your board, and choose the sock indicated.
- For a 5 to 5'10 board: we recommend a 6' cover.
- For a board from 6' to 6'5: we recommend a 6'6 or 6'8 cover.
- For a 6'6 to 7' board: we recommend a 7' or 7'3 cover.
- For a 7'1 to 7'5 board: we recommend a 7'6 cover.
- For a board over 7'6: we recommend a 9' or 9'2 cover
The idea is to choose a cover size at least 1 inch larger than your surfboard. This small margin will give you extra comfort without compromising the practicality of the product. Please note that our new collections are now available in the following sizes: 6'0, 6'6, 7'0, 7'6, 9'2.
