ION Windsurf Boardbag Core

Care for the ION Windsurf Boardbag Core

Clean the bag as needed by wiping it with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild soap. Rinse with fresh water after use in salt water, and let the bag dry completely before storing it. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the PU-coated material and padding.

Air-dry the bag in the shade with the opening unobstructed. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and never place it near a heat source such as a radiator. Store it dry, loosely rolled or folded flat, in a cool, ventilated place so the padding retains its shape and the material lasts as long as possible.

What size should I choose for my board?

The bag comes in six sizes, from 230x58 to 255x85 cm, each fitting a maximum board size. Measure your board’s length and width, and choose the size that matches or is slightly larger.

Can I leave the fin on the board when I pack it?

Yes. The bag has a built-in fin slot and a Velcro closure at the bottom, so you can pack the board with the center fin on without unscrewing it after every session.

How well does the bag protect my board?

5 mm foam padding all around protects against impacts, dings, and scratches during everyday transport and storage. For extra protection, lay a wetsuit or towel over the board.

Why is the bottom light-colored?

The bottom is made of off-white PE, which reflects the sun’s heat. This keeps the inside of the bag cool when it’s on the beach or on the roof of your car in the sun.

What material is the bag made of?

The exterior is a durable, PU-coated shell made of 100% recycled PET-450D, and the bag also consists of polyethylene and polyamide. The PU coating makes the material water-repellent.

Are there pockets for tools and screws?

Yes. The bag has two pockets with Velcro closures on the outside, as well as an inside pocket where you can store screws, tools, and small items, so they’re always within reach.

Does it come with a shoulder strap?

No, the bag is compatible with ION’s shoulder strap, which you attach with two carabiners—the strap must be purchased separately. The bag also has carry handles in the middle, on the side, and on top.

How do I clean the board bag?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and, if needed, mild soap. Rinse with fresh water after use in salt water, and let it air-dry in the shade. Do not machine-wash or use abrasive cleaners.
