Best For weekend session: Ho Stevie shortboard Bag

Buy on Amazon

It’s a great single-board day bag. It’s comfortable to carry and has handy pockets for gear and phone and whatever needed. The white shell reflects the sunlight, so the inside of the bag doesn't get HOTTER than the air temperature because of the sun, if that makes sense.

The board is easy to slide in and out as there's a lot of extra space on the sides. It's not insulation, but foam padding, so the bag won't act like a "cooler" and keep the inside of the bag colder than the air temperature. The Padded shoulder strap (removable) makes it comfortable to haul your board around. If you are planning to use this bag for travel, the width allows room for extra padding. It is a great single-board day bag.

• Strap set up is neat with external storage pocket
• Super durable and the fit was perfect
• 5 bag for a fun shape 7'6"board and it fit great
• Fit two short boards and lots of clothes and towels
