ION SUP Boardbag Race Tec

Caring for your ION SUP Boardbag Race Tec

With simple care, your boardbag will last for many years. Clean it regularly, dry it thoroughly, and store it properly - so it protects your board optimally every time.

• Cleaning: Shake sand and dirt out of the bag, then wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaning products, solvents, and scrubbing, as they can damage the PU-coated material.
• Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the bag. Rinse it with fresh water if it has been in contact with salt water, and remove stains with a soft cloth.
• Drying: Let the bag air-dry at room temperature in a well-ventilated area - preferably open, so the Bag_Breeze ventilation can help remove moisture. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heaters, and drying cabinets, as they can damage the material.
• Storage: Store the bag clean and dry in a cool, ventilated place out of direct sunlight. Make sure both the bag and board are completely dry before putting the board away to prevent mold and unpleasant odors.
• General: Regularly check the zippers, seams, and shoulder strap for wear, and clean sand and salt from the zipper if it starts to stick.

Which board sizes fit in the ION SUP Boardbag Race Tec?

The bag comes in two sizes, 12'6x28.5" and 14'0"x26.5", and is designed for race boards in the SUP category. Check your board's length and width, and choose the size that fits best.

How many boards can fit in the bag?

How does the bag protect my fins while traveling?

The reinforced base features Profile_Tec construction with a universal fin slot that keeps your fins securely in place and protected from impacts along the way.

What is Bag_Breeze 2.0, and why is it important?

Bag_Breeze 2.0 is ION's ventilation system with TPU patches and EVA-padded mesh inserts on the front and back. It lets moist air escape, keeping both the bag and board fresh between sessions.

Can I carry the bag on my back?

Yes. The removable shoulder strap can be pulled out when you need it and stowed in the built-in storage compartment when you don't, leaving you with a free hand at all times.

What material is the board bag made of?

The outer fabric is made from 100% PU-coated PET 600D of recycled origin, and the light-colored PE layer on the underside keeps the inside cool in the sun.

Is the bag also suitable for everyday transport to and from the water?

Absolutely. With its thick padding, Rail_Guard protection, and ventilation, it's both a travel bag for longer trips and a durable everyday solution for transport between home, car, and spot.

What's the best way to care for my board bag?

Shake out the sand, rinse with fresh water after use in salt water, and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let it air-dry in the shade, and store it dry and ventilated. Avoid machine washing and prolonged direct sunlight.
