Would the zipper be uncomfortable on a surfboard?

I don't think so, the zipper does not touch your skin, there is a nice amount of material/flap behind the zipper.

I finally got to check it. Not really. You can *almost* get the zipper closed, but the two top corners of the laptop would be very exposed to (uncushioned from) bumps and shocks from the outside world.

Mine wouldn't. It's also not protective at all. I got a separate reg bag that is protected. Just an FYI, I was carrying around all my gear: BC, fins, wetsuit, reg, save a dive kit, reel, recovery bag, etc., on an almost daily basis and the bag ripped along one of the seams after about a week and a half. Probably not really made for that kind of (ab)use.

You really need a regular zipper foot also. There are two different kinds of those. Hard to describe..but I have both..meaning I own 3 types... so my answer has to be no.

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.

Perhaps I am fortunate, but have had no issue with the zipper. My objection is to the smell of the contents once heated. Again, it might just be me. It has done the job otherwisel

It doesn't have a waterproof zipper, but it seals pretty well when it is folded over properly. I think it would float for a while, but it will eventually let water in.

The zippers are all meeting at the bottom so if you do not zipper snug than yes but we have not had any problems with it. In future build would recommend the bottom have a 6 inch area then the zippers....

I really do not think so, I have a hard time zipping it, unless I lay on the bed to do so and it is snug. I am a size 12 in pants once in a while a 14 more so lately lol. I think you will have a very hard time getting it zipped.

I've used mine almost every day since receiving it, almost three months ago, and have not had any problems. I love it! Perhaps there is a manufacturing flaw with your zipper.

i wouldn't wear it in any direction, only sent it back. i'll tell you this though, the protection plates zipped into place on at least one side and obviously different shapes so probably a no to your question but the zippers were junk and didn't stay together anyway.

No- it's far too narrow for fins. I use mine for keys, phone, wallet, etc.- I don't think that zippered pouch is water proof, maybe just, water "resistant"

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

It feels like very slick fabric, but when the zipper is all the way shut, kind of like a balloon. I open the zipper a little to let air out. I did stop coughing though.

Peter, as long as the bag is intended for an 8 foot board, it should be okay. I would contact the guys at Curve, and ask them first, if you are feeling uncertain about this though. Contact the seller here on Amazon or Curve also has a web site. The company is run by surfers, not suits, so feel comfortable asking them real surfer questions! I own two of their bags and am happy with 'em both.

I've only used the paddles, the use of fins is possible but I think it would be uncomfortable

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...
