Boardsox Surfboard Cover Sizing FAQ
Q: How do I choose the right size cover for my surfboard?
A: Measure your board’s length (in feet and inches) and width (at its widest point). Then pick the Boardsox size that is equal to or slightly larger than your board’s length.
Q: What if my board is between sizes?
A: Go up to the next size. It’s better to have a little extra room than a tight squeeze. You can always roll the end or use the drawstring to adjust the fit.
Q: Do your covers fit wide boards like fish or funboards?
A: Yes! We have specific shapes and sizes to suit everything from shortboards to chunky fish, mid-lengths, mals, and longboards. Just check the shape guide on each product page.
Q: What’s the difference between shortboard, fish, and longboard shapes?
- Shortboard – Narrow nose, streamlined fit.
- Fish – Wider template with more tail width room.
- Mid-Length/Hybrid – For fun shapes and eggy outlines.
- Longboard – Longer, roomier fit with rounded nose coverage.
Q: Will the cover fit over fins?
A: Yep! Our canvas has a little stretch and is built to fit over most fin setups, including large glass-on keels. Just go gently over bulkier quad or twin setups.
Q: Can I use a Boardsox inside a travel bag?
A: Absolutely. Many surfers double-up for max protection: Boardsox inside your travel coffin = zero wax melt, zero rail rash, zero sun damage.
Q: My board has a big nose or unusual tail – will it still fit?
A: If your board is a little unusual (think asymmetrical tail or step-up gun), send us your measurements and we’ll help you find the perfect fit. We also offer custom covers.
Q: Do you make custom sizes?
A: Yes! If your board doesn’t fit standard sizing, we can custom-make a Boardsox for it. Just email us at hello@boardsox.com.au
