Before you plan your next surfing adventure, stop here and scope all the travel gear I have reviewed for you. Lots of luggage and accessories abound. If you have a product you want reviewed, shoot me an email at surfing.guide@about.com.
That said, in my search for hardcore surf luggage that affords the traveling surfer all the needed items while keeping the hands free to carry boards and slap malaria bearing mosquitoes while slashing at the thick jungle foliage en route to some mythical left point just beyond a booby-trapped Mayan temple, I stumbled across the aptly named
Surf Pack from Quiksilver.A revolutionary way to repair dings quickly and easily, even under water.
Shark Camo decals, laminates, and surfboards could just save your life.

Da Kine Surf Stash Travel Kit gives surfers and any water enthusiasts a cool, convenient spot to stow away his/her beach necessities and accessories in the car, in a suitcase, or on the beach.
The Wet Dry Duffle measures in at 28 x 15 x 11 inches and weighs about 3 pounds empty. It boasts several zippered compartments, a tarp lined wax pocket, a clear vinyl hardware pocket, a padded shoulder strap, and most importantly, a seam sealed wetsuit compartment. My particular bag is black with camouflage embellishments, but the Wet Dry Duffle also comes in black and gray as well as charcoal and red.
Sea Specs are sunglasses specifically designed for surfing, kite boarding, skiing, windsurfing, fishing, and bodyboarding. They are great for surfers with pterygiums or dry red eyes. They protect sun lovers form uva and uvb rays for while enjoying the beach.
The Channel Series backpack and the Split Roller from Da Kine thread the line between function and fashion with a heavy nod towards “Utilitarian Funk.” Well, that’s my term, but I feel it’s an apt description since the ample compartments, zippers, and pouches cater to a surfer’s real needs while the snazzy patterns and designs on their sturdy skin scream style and fun to everyone in the room.
Truth be told, most surfers try their darndest to look like surfers. A lot of it comes out naturally, but a Billabong tee or a pair of Quiksilver board shorts almost guarantees you won’t be mistaken for a land loving kook (Even if you happen to be one). However, there are those hardcore and non-conventional watermen (and women) who couldn’t care less if their logos match the fashion wave of the year. [b]It’s all about function![/b]
