Question: How do you pack your board for a trip?
Do you use any Bubble wrap, Towels, Wet suit or anything like that? Or maybe just in the case and hoping for good?
Thanks:)

Board bag, bubble wrap cap or pipe foam around nose and tail fins out. Maybe a towel!

I have noticed that the heavier you make it the worse it gets treated. I fly with longboards!
One good thing to use on the body of the board is the plastic cardboard sheeting of real estate signs cut to the profile of your board. ( Should be some on poles around your neighborhood ) :bigoops:

In packing to move to Austria, imsaw some really good wrap. International wrap, a much stronger bubble wrap!

I have a pretty wide travel bag (Ocean & Earth Double Coffin 8.6). I pack my 8.4 mini-longboard and my daughters mini-malibu in their FCS Day bags into the Large travel bag, and then the westsuitson top and bottom. Worked fine so far.

Purchase a bag that is six inches i.e. 15 centimeter (5.9 in) longer than your longest board. Consider how many boards you'll be traveling with on this trip and in the future. Obtain a bag that will accommodate your needs. Board bags are available with compartments that enable you to carry more than one board safely. If you have removable travel fins such as FCS, O'Fish, or Excel Fins, it makes good sense to remove them to prevent the possibility of catching on surrounding objects. Don't forget to remove old wax.

Its better to buy a good quality board,plastic hardcover board bag is best for carrying this.
The important thing which we should take care is remove the fins from the board.
cover it with a bubble wrap and try to remove extra materials from it.
