Backpacks

With expanding surf travel and a shrinking globe, the right means of transporting surf and personal essentials becomes increasingly important. Laptops are taken on trips to to watch forecasts, i-pods accompany surfers on long bus rides across desolate lands, and wetsuits are packed away after cold surfs in uncharted territories. Today's backpacks have come a long way to address these new surf accoutrements. A good backpack will keep all of your essentials in order and separate, with different compartments for wax, sandals, clothes, electronics, and wetsuits. Some models have ergonomic straps for the long haul home and coolers to store food and beverages. For all-day trips to your home break or more remote locales, a surf backpack is an absolute necessity.
