Not all board bags are built the same. When you’re moving boards—through airports, into cars, or down to the beach—the details matter.

This is a focused breakdown of three core Channel Islands Surfboards Board Bags: Everyday, Traveler Single/Double, and Traveler Wheeled Quad. Each one is designed with a clear purpose, but all share the same approach—durability, protection, and thoughtful design.

CI Team Manager Brent Power connects with CI Accessories Designer Todd Janda, with real-world feedback from Parker Coffin, to walk through what actually matters: protection, organization, and access.

All of our bags share common features like weather proof materials, YKK® corrosion proof zippers, slip proof shoulder straps and more.

Three bags. Three purposes. Built to protect.

EVERYDAY SHORTBOARD BAG

For daily use. Simple, durable, reliable.

The Everyday Bag is your go-to for routine surf days—keeping your board protected in transit better than any other on the market with nearly twice the foam of other day use bags.

• Lightweight, streamlined design
• Durable exterior for daily wear
• Essential 8mm of padding for ding prevention
• Easy carry for quick in-and-out use

This is the bag you leave in the car, grab on the way out, and rely on every movement of your bag in the car, on the foot path, in boats or just on the sand.

TRAVELER SINGLE / DOUBLE SHORTBOARD BAG

For surf trips or day trips when you need two boards in one bag. Added protection and versatility are its hallmarks.

When travel is involved, protection becomes critical. The Traveler Single/Double is built to handle the extra demands of airports, road trips, longer hauls or even short ones down to Lowers or across town in the back of your truck.

• Increased to 10mm padding all around for impact protection
• Fits one or two boards depending on setup
• Reinforced construction for travel wear
• A stealth compartment to help avoid added airline fees
• Internal organization for fins and accessories

A balance between protection and manageability—built for surfers on the move.

TRAVELER WHEELED QUAD

For heavy travel. Maximum capacity and ease.

This is the most robust option in the lineup, designed for extended trips and multiple boards.

• Holds up to four boards
• Built-in wheels for easy transport
• Thoughtful handle placements all around for handling with ease
• Heavily padded 10 and 20mm foam for maximum protection
• Internal and external compression straps
• Space for boards, gear, and accessories

When you’re traveling with a full quiver, this is the solution that makes it manageable.

WHY CHANNEL ISLANDS BOARD BAGS

Every CI bag is built with direct input from team riders and real-world use in mind. The focus stays consistent across the range:

• Protection where it counts
• Smart organization without excess
• Durable construction that holds up over time

These are not overdesigned. They are simply Perfected For Your Ride.
