SUP Bags for Paddling and Safe Gear Transport
SUP bags are an essential part of any stand up paddleboarding setup. Whether you’re heading out for a short lake session or a multi-day coastal expedition, the right SUP bag ensures safe storage, easier transport, and better organization of your gear.
SUP bags are not just accessories — some keep your belongings dry on the water, while others are designed to transport your board safely and protect it from damage. Choosing the right SUP bag means less wear and tear, better organization, and a longer lifespan for your entire setup.
What Types of SUP Bags Are Available?
Different paddling styles require different types of bags. In our range you’ll find SUP board bags, waterproof dry bags for SUP trips, SUP backpacks, and larger transport bags for organizing your equipment.
1. Bags for Gear on the Water
These are the bags you take with you on the board.

They offer:
- Protection from splashes and accidental drops in the water
- Roll-top closure for 100% waterproof performance
- Durable PVC or TPU construction with welded seams
- Easy attachment to deck bungees
- Multiple sizes (5L, 10L, 20L, 30L+)
Perfect for recreational paddling and longer touring sessions.

Ideal for river adventures, multi-day trips, and coastal exploration.

2. SUP Bags for Transporting Your Board
These bags focus on safe transport and organization.
Large SUP Transport Bags
Designed to organize and carry:
- Paddle
- Pump
- Wetsuit
- Accessories
- Small gear components
They keep everything in one place and protected during travel.
3. Bags for Protecting Individual SUP Components
These bags are made to protect the most sensitive parts of your SUP equipment.
SUP Board Bag (Board Bag)
A padded SUP board bag protects your board during transport and storage.
It shields against:
- Impacts
- Scratches
- UV exposure
- Damage to nose and tail
Ideal for roof transport or long-term storage.
SUP Paddle Bag
Your SUP paddle is one of the most sensitive pieces of equipment — especially carbon paddles, which are vulnerable to impacts and pressure during transport.
A SUP paddle bag provides:
- Protection for blade and handle
- Safe storage during travel
- Separate organization for 2- or 3-piece paddles
- UV and salt protection
A padded paddle bag is highly recommended for:
- Carbon paddles
- Air travel or van transport
- Long-term off-season storage
If you travel frequently or want to keep your paddle in top condition for multiple seasons, a paddle bag is a smart investment.
Types of SUP Transport Bags
When transporting your SUP, you typically choose between two main options: a SUP bag with wheels or a SUP backpack-style board bag.
SUP Bag with Wheels
Best for:
- Air travel
- Long distances on asphalt or airports
- Larger and heavier boards
- Transporting multiple pieces of equipment
Advantages:
- Less strain on your back
- Easier movement of heavy gear
- Often extra space for paddle, pump and wetsuit
A wheeled SUP bag is ideal for frequent travelers and touring enthusiasts.
SUP Backpack (Board Bag with Shoulder Straps)
Best for:
- Walking access to the water
- Gravel roads, fields or forest paths
- SUP + hiking combinations
- River adventures
Advantages:
- Better weight distribution
- Hands-free carrying
- Greater stability while walking
If you often access remote spots or don’t have parking directly at the water, a SUP backpack is the more ergonomic solution.
Water-Resistant or Fully Waterproof SUP Bag?
Understanding the difference matters:
Water-resistant bag
Protects against splashes and moisture but not full submersion.
100% waterproof bag
Features roll-top closure and welded seams to prevent water entry, even if briefly submerged.
For open water paddling or longer tours, a fully waterproof SUP bag is strongly recommended.
How to Choose the Right SUP Bag
Ask yourself:
1. What do you want to protect?
- Board → choose a SUP board bag
- Gear on the water → choose a waterproof dry bag
2. How much space do you need?
- Short session → 5–10 L
- Day tour → 15–30 L
- Multi-day trip → 40–60 L
3. Do you need 100% waterproof protection?
For phone, documents or clothing, choose a roll-top waterproof bag.
4. Hand carry or backpack style?
For short sessions, a smaller dry bag carried by hand works well.
For longer tours, river sections or SUP + hiking combinations, a SUP backpack is more practical. It keeps both hands free for carrying your board or accessing the water over more demanding terrain.
If you expect significant movement on land, a SUP backpack is usually the more functional choice compared to a simple carry bag.
Why Is a SUP Bag Important?
A SUP bag:
- Keeps your gear dry
- Protects your board from damage
- Improves organization on the water
- Makes transport easier
- Extends the lifespan of your equipment
SUP gear is an investment — a quality bag helps protect it for many seasons.
SUP Bags for Beginners and Advanced Paddlers
Beginners typically need:
- A basic waterproof bag for personal items
- A waterproof cooler bag for beach sessions
- A simple transport solution
Advanced paddlers and touring enthusiasts often choose:
- Larger dry bags
- Waterproof backpacks
- Expedition bags for multi-day adventures
Regardless of experience level, the key is choosing a SUP bag that matches your paddling style.
