What Is the Best Way to Carry a Skateboard?
For short distances, most skaters carry the board by hand or ride it. For longer days, a backpack with front board straps keeps both hands free and holds a laptop too. A board bag with a cross-body strap suits bikes, trains and rain, because the whole board sits inside.
What Should You Keep in a Skateboard Bag?
A skate tool, spare hardware, water, keys and a phone cover most sessions. Many skaters add a spare tee and a piece of skate wax. On school and work days a laptop and charger come along, so a bag with a laptop sleeve is worth having.
Can a Skateboard Bag Hold a Laptop?
Some can. The Db Daypack 15L and Daypack 20L both have an internal sleeve that fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro. Board bags such as the Db Skate Carrier 32L are built around the deck and do not have a laptop sleeve.
Is the Db Skate Carrier Good for Riding a Bike?
Yes. The Db Skate Carrier 32L was designed for skaters who get to the spot by bike or public transit. It is worn cross-body with an under-arm stability strap, so the board stays steady and both hands stay free.
Is the Db Skate Carrier Waterproof?
The Db Skate Carrier 32L is weather resistant rather than waterproof. It is made to keep a board and essentials dry on rainy rides, but it is not built for standing water. A board that does get wet should dry fully before it is ridden again.
What Is the Difference Between a Skateboard Bag and a Skate Bag?
A skateboard bag carries a skateboard, either inside a board compartment or on backpack straps. A skate bag usually means a bag for roller skates or inline skates, shaped around boots instead of a deck. The two names often get mixed up, so check what a bag is built to carry before buying.
