Maybe the issue is 2 MBS boards complete. I have set my boards up just like the picture 1 conflict 106 and 1 AK 103. The Ak has street wheels on it and both boards have Bionic trucks. I don't think the 3cm makes a difference, but I'm sure the pneumatic tires do. The bag is definitely large enough to offset the boards and the center strap and top straps for around the truck hold everything pretty snug. Never really had muck damage occur to the bottom of the boards, but a small piece of cardboard attached to the bottom of the trucks would solve any scratching you maybe worried about.:thumbup:

I got bored and razored a set of canoe blocks.



Local place was selling them for next to nothing at the end of the season.

They latch onto the trucks, and water doesn't turn them to oatmeal..... ok... really bored.

the GI sherpa bags are the ticket, 2 boards maybe staggered with the top half zipped.

definitely a tidy land based pack, and water

i will typically pack out , 106 pat, pads, shoes, harness, one 13m kite bar/lines x2, extra gloves /socks and water bottle and zip it all and if the wind potential is looking good kiteboard strapped on back . can hike or bike with it to get a good launch spot. the collapse feature makes for a quick spot change without hassle , just take it with on the ride.

So I've been MIA for a while from this forum but I wanted to let everyone know that my Sherpa keeps getting more and more useful. I have since procured more safety gear (knee and elbow pads, Hillbilly gloves, and a helmet) and my Sherpa fits everything with more room to spare. Also, my friend and I hiked into a riding spot and I was able to fold my bag into the backpack and throw my board across my back while my friend had to drag his board through the sand for over a mile! He complained the whole time while I was comfortable as could be. :D

Worth...every....penny.

I think it is time for you to submit a testimonial... include pictures. That sounds like it would rate some swag....at least a T-Shirt. Better than some of the stories in the Leatherman ads. :smilegrin:

ATB,
Sam

No deletions.... you words are immortalized until the planet ices over and the stars fade from the sky.... or the server crashes (whichever comes first ;) ).

:mad: Wait.... let me get a pen, so I can just sign the paycheck over now. ;)

Of course this begs the question, "Can boards get "bag envy?"

Oh gribble....

Dang. Wish my money had gone to CWS instead of Sports authority or whatever chain I bought it from on clearance a few months back. Oh well. Nice bag. Great price.
