The Ocean and Earth APEX Fish Travel Cover (1 Board) is a single-board premium travel bag featuring the XPS rigid external shell and 10mm anti-shock foam, sized specifically to protect fish and wider-template shortboards.
More info
The Ocean and Earth APEX Fish Travel Cover brings the full XPS protection system to boards with wider nose and tail templates. Where standard shortboard bags can leave a fish shape loosely fitting, this cover is cut with the additional width required to house a fish, twin-fin or wider-outline shortboard without unnecessary movement inside the bag.
The XPS external shell provides high-impact defence across the entire profile of the bag. Inside, 10mm anti-shock foam protects the deck, base and rails. A zip-out tail gusset manages the fin situation, while the Aircon vent system keeps internal temperatures safe during travel. Built-in carry handles and robust zippers ensure the bag performs trip after trip.
Backed by Ocean and Earth's lifetime warranty, the APEX Fish Travel Cover is built to be the last fish bag you ever buy.

FAQ
Will a standard shortboard fit in the fish cover? Yes, but there will be extra width. For a tight fit on narrow shortboards, the standard APEX Shortboard Travel Cover is recommended.
Does it accommodate twin-fin setups? Yes. The zip-out tail gusset allows packing with twin fins attached.
