Hi Guys & Gals

Just a quick question for those who have or at one staged owed a Coreban Edge (Not sure if the Dart or Turbo have the same issue..)
Maybe it's just me or maybe it's my cover. But have any of you struggle to get the board in the cover? Is there a trick I don't know about? Sometimes I spend a good 10-15minutes trying to get the tail end of the cover to slip over the board. It seems REAL snug. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Many covers that come with boards when you buy them are like that. It's infuriating, and means that the zip goes in no time. Naish have similarly offended - the bags for my v1 Naish 17 and 12 are ridiculously tight. But at least they do go in, kinda. The Starboard bag for the 2014 All Star was STUPID and only barely could you get the board in after cursing and straining for 10 minutes. In this context, the covers for the Coreban products actually aren't too bad.

You can tell when someone has got a cover/bag that came with the board because you'll see it on their roof rack with the rear undone...

And so the brands lose all the goodwill they have gained by giving you a free bag by saving 0.01 dollars on the 1cm strip of extra material it would take to make it fit perfectly. Ridiculous!

There's nothing much you can do. The bag will probably loosen a tiny bit over time. But by then the zip will have gone (the zips on the Coreban bags are rubbish), and you'll have rubbed some of the top coat off your board. So do like everyone else and only partially zip it up!
