Board Bag Question

Postby v-cool » Tue Feb 27, 2007 7:15 am

Hi all,

A warm greet from Hong Kong.

I have a McCoy Nugget 7'0" and would like to get a board bag for it as I will go to Bali later. I am now confused about what size of bag I should get, 7'0? 7'2"? or 7'6"? Someone told me I need to get a bigger bag as McCoy is thicker and wider then other board. Hope someone can give some advices. Many Thanks.

Peace
Vic

Hi v-cool, welcome to the forums.

As regards your boardbag question, probably wise to go for a 7' 2" bag at the very least. Whats the total dimensions for the board anyway? length, width, thickness etc?

This is the dimensions I got from the web,

L: 84
N : 14 1/2
M : 21 1/4
T : 17
Th : 3 1/8

Not much choice can be find from here. Most of them are 6' sth or those for long board. The only one longer then 7' is a FCS 7'6" Dayrunner. Is it good? Will it be too longer and there will be too much room for the board?

There's loads of bags out there between 6' and longboard size :roll:

Like bottom right for instance.

Just make sure you get one thats mini-mal shape, and not shortboard and it'll be fine.

You have no idea how long I've been looking for a chance to say that! :P
And sorry, nothing constructive to add to the thread. Just make sure the bag's not smaller than 7"0...
