Abstract
Abstract Partial covers, made of flexible material such as rubber, are respectively attached to the nose, rails and tail of a surfboard so that the partial covers protect respectively the nose, rails and tail of the surfboard from damage. The partial covers for the rails are forced on manually and nonadhesively in the direction of an opening thereof. The partial covers for the nose and the tail may be forced on also manually and nonadhesively in the direction of openings therein. However, with or without such openings, the partial covers for the nose and the tail may each have a belt so that each belt fastens the partial covers to the nose and the tail respectively.
