Can Inno Locker Watersport Carrier Be Used To Transport Long Board In Sock Cover?

Question:

Hi there — instructions say to not put longboards on in their bags, only short boards. We are taking two longboards and my husband wants to keep them in their socks not thick bags in order to protect from, say, gravel or other flying debris. Is this okay? Thanks!

The instructions for Inno Locker Watersport Carrier w/ Crossbar Pads # INA446 do state that you should not transport a longboard in a bag. This is mainly due to the fact that the longer boards will have more wind drag than a short board, and a bag could allow the board to potentially slide out of the bag or carrier when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds.

Since your sock is thin and it is not a thick bag, it may be fine, but it is hard to say for sure. I still would recommend transporting it without a cover of any kind just to be on the safe side. I attached a demonstration video for you.
