I went to a surf camp at the end of last month, and the hobby has kind of become my entire personality. After getting back, I spent hours on Facebook Marketplace and found my very first surfboard (named Stewie, since it’s a Stewart). Because a nine-foot surfboard is incredibly difficult to maneuver in and out of my apartment, I’ve been eyeing board bags to keep Stewie safe from dings.
