Hi folks,

Haven't been a paddler for 8 yrs now (mainly due to sh!t shoulders) but have set myself a challenge to get amongst it again.

Anyway, picked up a nice 8'6" and need a basic cover, but good enough to handle one trip to Bali.

Can't find anything in the SB for sale. Any tips on economical covers around Perf?

Or anyone got a good nic one to sell NOR?

Cheers.

getfunky with it minimum 5mm day bag for and OS trip or 10mm even better.
Those baggage handlers on Bali side can be rough at times with your gear.I use O&E air con bags for around town and OS trips.

The O&E Barry Basic range is about the cheapest 5mm silver tarpee cover on the market. Certainly nothing flash but should get you to Bali ok if properly packed. They do an 8'6 size in this range and its $79.95 rrp. - Mark

Old windsurf waveboards were 8'6" - 8'8" and now the boards are shorter the older bags grow on trees.
You may have luck at a WS shop if you want cheap cheap

Just pinged an order (10mins before spotting your post Mark) on an Ocean and earth 8'6" day cover - next model up from Barry basic (with tail gusset etc) $129 delivered.
Pretty chuffed with that.

Swimming, paddling and doing everything i can to get my chicken wings into condition for the trip to Bintangland.

Haven't surfed in +8 yrs *(cr@p shoulders) and could count on one hand the number of decent waves over a couple of decades.

Can't wait to get amongst some decent waves!!
