Bit the bullet while I repair my shortie, here's to looking for mellow waves to practice nose riding or joining the pensioners out the back charging through the short board line up

Got a LB cheap enough I can thrash around until I consider something better but in terms of storage which is better? With my shorties, a sock has sufficed but the tankers probably going in the store room although should still be alright in there.

Are sock's also more difficult to put on the boards?
