ION Foil Boardbag Core Downwinder

Caring for your ION Foil Boardbag Core Downwinder

• Cleaning: Wipe the bag with a damp cloth and mild soap after use, especially after contact with salt water. Avoid harsh cleaners, bleach, and machine washing, as they can damage the PU coating and fabric.
• Removing stains: Treat stains with lukewarm water and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse with clean water afterward to remove any soap residue.
• Drying: Let the bag air-dry upside down or hanging in the shade. Never leave it to dry in direct sunlight for a long time or on a heat source, as this can degrade the material.
• Storage: Make sure the bag is completely dry before putting it away. Store it somewhere dry and cool, out of direct sunlight—preferably rolled or loosely folded so the material doesn’t develop permanent creases.
• General: Regularly remove sand and dirt from the zippers and clips to keep them working properly and help the bag last for many seasons.

What board sizes does the ION Foil Boardbag Core Downwinder fit?

The bag comes in three sizes: 6'10"x20", 7'8"x22.5" and 8'6"x22.5". Choose the size that matches your downwind foil board’s length and width.

Can I pack my board with the foil attached?

Yes. The bag has a practical foil opening, so you can pack your board with the mast and wings still attached and avoid unscrewing the foil after every session.

How does the bag protect my board?

5 mm foam padding cushions against impacts, scratches and everyday wear during transport, while the durable outer material protects against the elements.

Is the material sustainable?

The bag’s outer material is made from recycled fabric with a PU coating that adds water-repellent properties and extra durability.

Can the bag be used with a shoulder strap?

Yes, the bag is shoulder-strap compatible and can be attached to a shoulder strap with two carabiners. However, the strap is not included.

Is the bag easy to carry?

Yes. The center carry handle is positioned in the middle of the bag, so you can carry even long boards in a balanced and comfortable way.

Why does the bag have a light-colored bottom?

The off-white PE bottom on the outside helps keep the inside cool when the bag is left in the sun on the beach or in the car.

How do I clean the bag?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air-dry in the shade. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals to preserve the material’s properties.
