{"product_id":"badfish-surfboard-sock-wave-farmer-sk8-snapper-shuvit","title":"Badfish Surfboard Sock","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Badfish Surfboard Sock is a soft terry cloth cover with a padded nose. It is not a travel bag and does not pretend to be one. It is what you slide the board into for the drive home and the weeks it sits in the garage between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things kill an epoxy board off the water. The first is sun, which yellows and weakens the resin over a season of sitting in the truck bed. The second is the small stuff — a tailgate, a bike pedal, the corner of a shelf. The sock handles both, and the padded nose covers the spot that takes most of the damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in three fits: Wave Farmer, SK8, and Snapper\/Shuvit.

There are three fits: Wave Farmer, SK8, and Snapper\/Shuvit. A sock cut for a different board will either not go on or will slide around, so order by board rather than by length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this the same as a board bag?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A sock is a thin cover for sun and scuffs. A padded board bag has real structure and is what you want for a flight, a roof rack, or a board rattling around a truck bed on a long drive. If you are travelling with the board, buy the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the sun really damage a board?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. UV yellows epoxy and, over enough seasons, weakens the resin. A board stored in the sun ages years faster than one kept covered, and a sock is the cheapest way to stop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I put a wet board in it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerry cloth absorbs, which is useful for the drive home. Do not leave a wet board sealed in it for days though, since trapped moisture is how you end up with mildew on the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill it fit a board from another brand?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly, if the length and outline are close to one of the three Badfish shapes it is cut for. It is not sold as universal, so if your board is not one of those, measure first or call us at (615) 696-7887.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it work with fins installed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull removable fins first. A sock has no fin pocket, and leaving fins in stresses the fabric and puts pressure on the boxes while the board sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Badfish","offers":[{"title":"Wave Farmer","offer_id":58460187918496,"sku":"BF3-00035-00","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SK8","offer_id":58460187951264,"sku":"BF3-00036-00","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Snapper\/Shuvit","offer_id":58460187984032,"sku":"BF3-00037-00","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/8477\/5584\/files\/168cmBoardSock.jpg?v=1785019254","url":"https:\/\/cfoutdoors.com\/products\/badfish-surfboard-sock-wave-farmer-sk8-snapper-shuvit","provider":"Caney Fork Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
