ION SUP Boardbag Core Race

Maintaining your SUP Boardbag Core Race

Clean the bag after use with a soft, damp cloth and lukewarm water, especially if it has been in salt water or chlorinated water. Let dirt and salt dry completely before putting the bag away, as residue can break down the material over time. Avoid bleach, solvents, and machine washing, as these can damage the coated outer fabric and padding.

Drying: Hang the bag to dry in a well-ventilated place or lay it flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators. Make sure both the bag and the board are completely dry before packing them together.

Storage: Store the bag rolled or folded flat in a cool, dry place - not for long periods in a hot car or in full sun. Avoid storing a wet board in the bag for extended periods, as moisture can cause mold and odors. Regularly checking the zipper and handles will extend the bag's lifespan.

What sizes does the ION SUP Boardbag Core Race come in?

The bag comes in eight sizes: 8'2x28.5", 9'0x32", 9'5x33", 9'6x31", 10'0x33", 10'6x31", 11'6x34" and 12'6"x28.5". Choose the size that matches your board's length and width.

Does the bag fit my SUP board?

The bag is designed for one board at a time, and each size has a maximum board length and width listed in the size guide. Measure your board and choose the size that accommodates both its length and width.

Does the bag have a fin slot so the fin can stay attached?

Yes, but only in the larger sizes. The small sizes 8'2, 9'0 and 9'5 don't have a single fin slot, while all larger sizes do.

What is the board bag made of?

The shell is made of 100% recycled, PU-coated 600D nylon, and the material mix is 30% recycled polyester, 60% polyethylene and 10% polyamide.

Is the bag padded?

Yes, the bag has 5 mm foam padding all the way around to protect against everyday wear, dents and scratches during transport. For extra protection, you can put a wetsuit or towels in the bag.

Can I use a shoulder strap with the bag?

Yes, the bag is compatible with a shoulder strap, which attaches with two carabiners. The strap is sold as a separate accessory by ION.

How do I clean the board bag?

Wipe the bag with a damp cloth and lukewarm water after use - ideally right after exposure to salt water. Let it air-dry away from direct sunlight, and avoid machine washing and harsh cleaning products.

Why is the bottom of the bag light-colored?

The off-white PE bottom reflects the sun's heat from the outside and keeps the interior of the bag cool, protecting your board on hot days.
