Roam: accessories designed to support surfers
Roam develops accessories to protect, transport, and equip surfboards.
L's brand universe now revolves around four main product lines: bags, pads, fins, and leashes.
Different accessories, but one shared goal: meeting real needs before, during, and after a session.
A story that starts with a surf trip
The origin of Roam is directly linked to travel.
The brand says the idea for its first products came after a surf trip when the board bags available didn't adequately meet the needs they encountered.
L's goal then becomes to design a bag that offers effective protection without adding unnecessary weight or features.
The board bag at the heart of Roam's story
The surf bag therefore plays a central role in Roam's identity.
A board bag should protect the board, but also be easy to carry and suited to the realities of a surf trip.
This approach was the starting point for the brand before its catalog expanded.
A more complete range
Roam is no longer limited to board bags.
The brand also develops traction pads, leashes, and fins.
These different product lines address several aspects of the setup: protection, transport, grip, connection to the board, and performance in the water.
Roam Surf Accessories
The name Roam Surf Accessories sums up the brand's positioning perfectly.
Roam doesn't aim to replace the board itself.
It develops gear to accompany the board during use, transport, and storage.
Accessories designed around the board
A board sits at the center of the setup.
Around it come the fins, leash, traction pad, wax, and transport gear.
Roam focuses on several of these components.
Roam for travel
Transporting a board exposes the nose, tail, and rails to impacts.
The bag creates a layer of protection between the board and its surroundings.
Roam develops several levels of board bags to suit different types of travel.
Roam surfboard bags
The Roam boardbags range is one of the brand’s largest product families.
It includes different sizes for Shortboards, Fish/Hybrids, Funboards and Longboards.
The level of padding varies by collection.
Roam Daylite
The Daylite boardbags favor a relatively lightweight construction for regular trips.
Several models feature 5 mm padding.
This range is primarily designed for everyday needs.
Roam Tech
The Tech family offers enhanced protection.
Several models feature 10 mm high-density padding and various travel-focused features.
It’s a good fit for riders looking for extra protection for their board.
Roam Tech Plus
The Tech Plus range completes this lineup with solutions better suited to demanding trips.
Features and format depend on the model.
Availability varies by collection.
Roam Coffin
The Coffin boardbags are designed for traveling with several boards.
They offer more capacity than a single-board bag.
This format is a particularly good fit for Roam’s surf trip DNA.
Choosing your Roam boardbag
The choice depends first and foremost on the board.
Shortboards, Fish, Funboards and Longboards come in different outlines and volumes.
Length alone isn’t always enough to choose a boardbag.
Lightweight or reinforced boardbag?
For everyday trips, relatively lightweight protection may be enough.
For more demanding trips or travel, extra padding is a good choice.
The number of boards you’re carrying is also an important factor.
Roam for travel
Traveling with a board comes with specific challenges.
The board may be handled by different people and packed alongside other luggage.
Suitable protection is especially important in this case.
Protect the nose, rails and tail
These three areas are among the most exposed during transport.
An impact on a rail or tip may require a repair before you take the board back out on the water.
The board bag limits direct contact.
Roam for grip
Once you’re in the water, the pad takes over.
Roam develops different grip designs to match traction to the board’s shape and the rider’s style.
Find them in the collection of Roam surf pads.
Roam surf pads
Roam traction pads are designed around several factors.
The number of pieces, width, arch, kick, and texture directly affect how the rear foot feels.
So there’s no single pad that suits every board.
Roam pads for fish boards
Fish boards often have a relatively wide tail.
Roam develops multi-piece designs that let you adjust grip coverage.
The 2-piece and 2+1 models are particularly suited to this type of shape.
Roam pads for grovellers
A groveller is generally designed to generate speed easily in less powerful waves.
The rider may need to move their foot more.
A relatively flat grip can then allow more freedom.
Roam pads for shortboards
On a shortboard, the choice depends heavily on your surfing style.
A versatile pad can offer a balance between mobility and support.
A more aggressive model may instead prioritize a very pronounced hold on the tail.
The arch of a pad
L’arch forms a raised section beneath the center of the foot.
It helps you better feel your position on the tail.
Its height affects how much contact you feel.
Tail kick
The kick forms the pad’s rear stop.
It provides a foothold when your foot moves back.
A more pronounced kick generally provides greater support.
Grip texture
Roam uses different textures depending on the model.
The EVA pattern affects foot grip.
A very grippy surface feels different from one that allows more freedom.
Roam for board control
Under the board, fins play a major role in how it performs.
They affect grip, drive, pivot, and how the tail releases.
Roam develops several configurations in its range of surf fins Roam.
Roam fins
The range covers different setup types.
These include Single Fins, Twin Fins, Thrusters, Quad Rears, and Side Bites, depending on availability.
This variety makes it possible to equip several types of boards.
Roam FX1 and FX2
Roam distinguishes between its FX1 and FX2 models.
The choice must match the fin box system installed on the board.
Compatibility always comes first, before template or size.
Roam Twin Fin
A Twin uses two large side fins.
This setup is especially associated with Fish shapes, although many modern shapes now use a twin setup.
It can deliver a fast, fluid feel.
Roam Thruster
A Thruster uses three fins.
This setup offers a popular balance of maneuverability and control.
It's still extremely common on Shortboards.
Roam Quad
A Quad uses four fins without a traditional center fin.
Roam offers Quad Rears, which can be used to complete certain setups.
The overall feel depends on the combination of front and rear fins.
Roam Side Bites
Side Bites are small side fins.
They can be paired with a large center fin in a 2+1 setup.
This type of setup is common on Midlengths and some Longboards.
Roam Single Fin
Roam also makes center fins compatible with US Box.
They come in different sizes depending on the model.
The fin's size and position can significantly change how the board performs.
Roam and Longboards
You can kit out your Longboard with several Roam accessories.
A large bag protects the board, a Single Fin or 2+1 setup adapts its performance, and a leash long enough keeps you connected to your board.
Every component must suit the longboard's purpose.
Roam and Midlengths
Midlengths are also a great fit for the range.
Bags designed for longer boards, Single or 2+1 fins, and longer leashes make it possible to build a cohesive setup.
The precise shape remains decisive.
Roam and the fish
The fish has several specific requirements.
Its width may call for a Fish/Hybrid bag and a pad suited to a wider tail.
Many fish boards also use a twin-fin setup.
Roam and the shortboard
The shortboard lets you make the most of the range's performance-oriented accessories.
A shortboard bag, a pad with a pronounced kick, a Thruster fin set and a Comp leash are a few examples of possible setups.
The choice always depends on the shape and conditions.
Roam to stay connected to your board
Leashes are another important product category for the brand.
Roam offers several diameters and lengths to suit different board types and expected demands.
Browse all the models in the Roam surf leashes.
Roam surf leashes
Roam offers several ranges, including Comp, Premium and Big Wave/SUP.
One difference is the cord diameter.
Length then varies depending on the board.
Roam Comp
The Comp uses a thinner cord geared toward performance.
It's especially suited to shortboards in conditions that match its intended use.
It prioritizes staying unobtrusive in the water.
Roam Premium
The Premium offers greater versatility.
Its larger diameter makes it suitable for a wider range of uses.
It's also available in several lengths.
Roam Big Wave / SUP
When the demands increase, Roam makes an even sturdier leash.
The Big Wave/SUP uses a thicker cord.
It's designed for setups where strength is the priority.
Ankle or calf?
Most shortboards use an ankle attachment.
On a longboard, some riders prefer a calf attachment.
This position can help keep the cord away from your feet as you move around on the board.
Rail saver
The rail saver forms the wide connection on the board side.
It distributes stress over a larger surface area than a thin cord.
This also helps protect the rail when the leash tightens.
Swivels
Swivels allow the leash to rotate.
They limit twisting when the board and surfer move in different ways.
Roam uses double swivels on some models, among other features.
Building a cohesive Roam setup
L'the advantage of the Roam range is that you can build out several components around the same board.
The bag protects your board out of the water.
The pad, fins, and leash come into play while you're surfing.
Start with the board
Before choosing accessories, identify your board precisely.
Length, width, tail, box type, and intended use help rule out many incompatible options.
L'accessory should fit the board, not the other way around.
Adapting Roam to the shape
A wide Fish and a performance Shortboard of the same length may need very different accessories.
The bag's cut, the pad's shape, and the fin setup all vary.
The leash length may be similar, but its diameter also depends on the conditions.
Adapting Roam to the conditions
Your gear should also suit the waves.
A slim competition leash and a Big Wave model are designed for different demands.
Likewise, your choice of fins may vary depending on the wave's power and shape.
Adapting Roam to your style
Two surfers on similar boards may prefer different setups.
L'one surfer may want a flat pad and plenty of freedom.
L'another surfer may prefer a high kick and pronounced grip.
Roam for everyday sessions
For sessions close to home, simplicity and speed may be priorities.
A lightweight bag, a suitable leash, and a versatile fin setup help keep things practical.
L'equipment still depends on the board.
Roam for surf trips
When traveling, protection becomes even more important.
A reinforced bag or a Coffin lets you transport your boards with greater peace of mind.
Bringing a spare leash and checking the fins before you leave also helps you anticipate problems.
Preparing Your Board for a Trip
Inspect the board, fins, leash, and pad before you leave.
A small weakness can become much more annoying once you reach your destination.
The board bag should also be chosen according to the number and dimensions of the boards.
Transporting Multiple Boards
When several boards travel together, they must be properly separated and protected.
Fins can be removed when your setup allows it.
A bag designed to carry multiple boards is better than overloading a single-board bag.
Protecting your gear
A board bag protects against more than just heavy impacts.
It also helps prevent scratches and scuffs, and protects against contact with objects in a vehicle or storage area.
The level of protection depends on the model you choose.
Maintaining your Roam accessories
Surf gear is constantly exposed to salt, sand, sun, and moisture.
Simple maintenance helps prevent premature wear.
Rinsing and drying are essential.
Rinsing after your session
Rinse the leash and fins with fresh water as needed.
Also remove any sand from the board bag zippers.
You can simply rinse the pad along with your board.
Drying your gear
Don’t leave a wetsuit wet in a closed board bag for long periods.
Let your accessories dry before storing them for an extended period.
This also helps prevent odors and lingering moisture.
Regularly inspecting your leash
Check the cord, connectors, cuff, and rail saver.
A cut or significant deformation warrants special attention.
A leash doesn’t last forever.
Checking your fins
Check the fin bases and edges.
A badly damaged fin can change how your board feels and develop sharp edges.
Also clean the fin boxes when changing your setup.
Checking your pad
A traction pad requires little maintenance.
Still, check the edges for any signs of peeling.
Applying it to a clean, dry surface helps it stick securely.
Maintaining your board bag
Regularly remove any sand that has accumulated inside the board bag.
Let the inside dry after carrying a wet board.
Also check the zippers and shoulder strap attachment points.
Roam and gear durability
Properly protecting a board and maintaining its accessories helps extend their lifespan.
A board bag reduces the risk of damage while traveling.
Regular maintenance also helps you quickly identify a part that needs replacing.
Choosing Roam to suit your needs
There’s no need to kit out your entire board with just one brand.
Lhe goal is to choose each accessory according to its function.
Roam can, however, cover several complementary needs within the same range.
Roam to protect
For protection and transport, check out the Roam board bags.
Choose the cut to match your shape and the padding level to suit your travels.
Daylite, Tech, and travel styles suit different needs.
Roam for better grip
For grip under your back foot, explore the Roam surf traction pads.
Tail shape, width, arch, and kick help determine the best grip.
The rider's style also matters.
Roam for changing how your board rides
To fine-tune speed, control, drive, or maneuverability, explore the Roam surf fins.
Check the fin boxes first before choosing your setup.
Single, Twin, Thruster, Quad, and 2+1 setups deliver different sensations.
Roam for choosing your leash
To stay connected to your board after a wipeout, check out the Roam surf leashes.
Choose the length to match your board and the diameter to suit your session.
Comp, Premium, and reinforced models are designed for different needs.
Roam for Shortboards
For a Shortboard, choose accessories suited to a relatively narrow shape and responsive surfing.
A Shortboard bag, a tail-compatible traction pad, a compatible fin set, and a leash close to the board's length make for a well-matched setup.
Roam for Fish
Fish boards often need more width in the bag and traction pad.
A Twin setup may also require specific fins.
Roam offers products suited to these different requirements.
Roam for Midlengths
Midlengths fall between the worlds of Shortboards and Longboards.
The leash and bag get longer, while fin setups can vary widely.
Single and 2+1 are among the available options, depending on the shape.
Roam for Longboards
A long board bag protects the board's considerable length.
A single fin or 2+1 setup lets you adjust how your board performs.
A longer leash with an ankle or calf cuff completes the setup to suit the rider’s style.
