ION Surf Sock Stubby

Care instructions - ION Surf Sock Stubby

Rinse the sock with fresh water after use to remove sand and salt, which can otherwise break down the material over time. If necessary, wash it with mild soap and lukewarm water, and avoid chlorine, bleach, and the washing machine, as these can damage the elastic polyester. Let the sock air-dry in the shade - not in direct sunlight or on a radiator, as heat and UV rays can break down the stretch fibers. Fold it loosely once it is completely dry, and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight so the material retains its elasticity and fit for as long as possible.

Which boards does the ION Surf Sock Stubby fit?

The sock fits short surfboards and stubby shapes with maximum dimensions of 5'3 x 19" / 160 x 48 cm. The stretchy material adapts to different board shapes within these dimensions.

What is a board sock like this used for?

It’s used for everyday transport and storage, and as an extra layer of protection under a hard boardbag when traveling. It keeps the sun off the board and wax off your car’s interior.

What material is the sock made of?

The sock is made of 100% stretch polyester that fits snugly around the board and protects it from scratches and UV rays.

How do you close the ION Surf Sock Stubby?

It closes with an intuitive rope closure that won’t open accidentally. The system is quick and easy to use, even with wet, sandy, or cold fingers.

How much does the sock weigh?

The sock weighs just 0.6 kg, so it’s easy to take to the beach or on a trip without adding bulk.

How do I care for the board sock?

Can I use the sock on its own on a bike or in a car?

The sock is designed for day trips and storage, and as an extra layer, but it doesn’t replace a padded boardbag for longer trips or rough handling.
