Soma Airbag

They are sold out until May. Stretch and Spindrift use them as an option for shipping new boards. Look solid. My only concern is punctures. They are cheaper than traditional board bags. I'll probably try them when they are back in stock.

 

guys i posted this i while back as the guy that is head of the southeastern part posts on wblivesurf forum and i posted it. but from what i heard they dont puncture and on here his name is saltyh20.

 

how much are they? they look sick...why didn't i think of that?

 

their website is http://www.airbagdesigns.com/

 

I remember you posting this. They look really sick though.

 

looks pretty sweet. even comes in a double?

 

yes it does come in a double.

 

I'd be worried that it would tear or punchure and the protective air would leak out. I've got some pretty bad tears in my conventional bags to prove how hard the airlines can be on luggage. What is this bag made of? Kevlar I hope. The website shows a valve similar to what you see on a $5 plastic raft.

 

just so you know i dont work for them but theres a guy that is a member on here and his name is saltyh20 message him about it and he will tell you all you need to. also their website tells you what its made of and look around the site and it shall tell you.

 

Hey guys. saltyh20 ("Dan") is the NC rep -- I'm the rep for SC\GA. We are going to have bags starting mid-May so you'll be able to stop by your local shop and check them out.

In the meantime, a little bit about the construction: SOMA AirBags are designed with heavy-duty 600 denier ballistic polyester with a thick exterior poly vinyl chloride coating to strengthen the already tear-proof material by 25% so as to stay cool, water resistant and strong. We've also fused a heat reflective coating onto the interior backside of fabric for maximum cooling insulation.

The air compartments have been designed into narrow linear columns to keep the protective air pressure exactly where it is supposed to stay in order to deflect from damaging contact with your board. This includes an individual column that wraps around the entirety of the rails that is also fused with 1/4" closed cell foam for double rail protection as well as extra reinforcement around the nose and tail. All seams are sonic heat welded for unlimited strength.

Each bag will have a repair kit. These bags have been in R&D for the last fews years so they are proven to work.

Let me know if you have any questions. Visit your local shop in May to check SOMA AirBags out.
