Two sizes. No last-minute cardboard hunt.

The honeycomb sleeves overlap around the board to reinforce rails, deck, nose and tail. Add them to the padded travel bag you already own.

WHAT YOU COLLECTA protection layer built around your board.

Expanded honeycomb sleeves absorb and spread impact around the rails, deck, nose and tail. Reusable straps hold the sections in place before the board enters its padded travel bag.

FAQ · BOARD TRAVEL

Before you pack

Where do I collect board protection in Barcelona?

Collection is in Eixample, carrer de València, Barcelona. The exact address and reserved time are shared privately after we confirm your board.

Is this a standalone travel box?

No. BoardSafe is an extra protection layer designed to fit snugly inside your own padded boardbag.

Which kit fits a kiteboard or wakeboard?

Most kite twin-tips and wakeboards up to 6 ft 6 in use BoardSafe 2. Send the maximum length, width and thickness so we can confirm the fit.

Which boards can it protect?

BoardSafe is designed for surfboards, kite surfboards, twin-tips, wakeboards and compact foil boards. We confirm the fit from your board dimensions.

Can I pack a wet board?

No. Dry the board and sleeves completely before packing. Paper-based protection loses strength when exposed to water.

Does it guarantee the board against airline damage?

No protective system can guarantee baggage handling. The kit adds impact and compression protection; your airline’s current packing, size and weight rules still apply.

TECHNICAL BASIS & SOURCES

What the protection does — and does not do

BoardSafe applies established expanded-paper boardsports packing principles: cover the rails, deck, nose and tail, keep the material dry and prevent movement inside the outer bag. It adds protection, but it does not replace a padded boardbag or your airline’s current baggage rules.
