Me and my buddies are going to Nicaragua in December and need some advice on a board bag. There will be 4 of us and we all ride about the same size 5'11-6'2. How thick should the bag be/length/cost thanks
get a 6'4 bag or bigger for extra room for packing materials... maybe a 6'6 if your taking 6'2s use pipe insulation from the hardware store to wrap your rails of the board the whole way around to protect it- thats why you need extra room. ' it cost alot... 100 a board at least
Hey Guys, If you guys need some board bags making or some advice we can help you out, we make them so will be able to help if you need even if just for advice. Cheers
No not at all we also make padded travel bags. We can make board socks lined with 3mm padding but like I said we also make padded travel bags. cheers
Your not wrong!! The first bag I made has been on 8 trips (5 long haul) and so far it still is good with no problems for the board and that's what we based this bag on. So we aint doing to bad but I totally agree with you there, even the monkey attack bit!
@walkingonh2o thanks man im going to go with your route. the 100 is a good investment, i cant risk messing my board up
if your living in squan- make sure to stop by inlet outlet- i have gotten a bag there once for like 35 bucks on a sidewalk sale not even a year ago... last years model but still awesome. they might have some discounted after black friday- idk... i got a dakine and it seems better then fcs, but just my opinion- but thats just a single board bag- if your thinking of a coffin bag for all 4 it will probably run you 100 bucks. The bag in the pic here does look sweet tho! I do like the goretex idea- so it will breath and be waterproof! too many of my old bags have been filled with mold due to moisture
have a Ci coffin fits 2-3 in the classifieds somewhere. i took 3 to Pr last winter. $100 excellent shape.
I have a Dakine travel bag that fits 2 boards. It's 6'5 or 6'6 if interested. $50. Pm me if interested.
Check us out www.swellshellsurf.com the only hard case on the market! make sure your boards get there safe!
pipe insulation plus curved ridged cardboard (cylinder thats split in 2 down the middle) over the insulation works good. also, there're lots of guys making good custom bags- vitamin blue, air wave, wave tribe to name a few.
