1. The surfboard sock sleeves can be opened and removed in seconds. No need to play with laces or ties. Cover the tail tightly with a cord closure (you do not need to remove the fins). The cover is machine washable so you can keep it clean. It is recommended to air dry to avoid deformation. 2. PERFECT FOR TRAVEL These socks are small enough to fit in a backpack or travel bag. Store wax, fins, wallets, keys, snacks and personal items in the storage bag in the bag. 3. BOARD PROTECTION The elastic padded nose protects the surfboard from bumps, scratches and UV rays.
