Travel Surfing

Postby ad05 » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:21 am

Okay so in the new future i think im going to go to coasta rica to check out the surf but i've heard that most surfboards get lots of dings and pressure cracks from the plane. I was looking around and i found this surfbag.

http://www.AirBagDesigns.com/

From the video it showed it looks very promising, but im worried it might get cut up by something so i guess i was wondering if a board bag could fit two of these things inside of them. ALso ive been try to find out how much depth (lack of a better word) the Soma airbag case has.

I was also looking at this bag

but i dont think its that good as the Soma mabye i can fit it inside??

Thanks in advance for all the help u can give me.

That's an interesting looking bag. you could probably just forget the board and surf the bag!

FWIW I've travelled loads with boards, only ever had major damage done once, minor dings and cracks are easy enough to fix when you arrive.

Yeah, dings are all part of traveling with boards.
Don't get me wrong, the bag is a really good idea, but a bit over the top for my taste.

oh okay but anyone know of a big bag (does not need to be expensive or anything) that will fit the two surfboards with the Soma case. (to cut down on the price of the extra bags expense.
