Snowkiting Specific Gearbags???


Do they make them and if so where can you get one???? Google seems to come up with nothing. It would be nice if I could have a bag that would fit my boots, board, harness, and a couple kites, maybe even my warm clothes so I didn't have to haul multiple bags in the winter. :thumbup:



what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

I have a sled bag combo got it at Coast Mountain sports. It has a harness and towing system for the long trips like Slave lake. Closes up tight and straps in to the sled but you can remove it and use it as a bag alone. It followed amazingly well and even over rough terrain nothing came loose.

My first thought was Peter Lynn Pro Gear Bag.



  • Spare kites in the bottom of the bag.

  • Warmer clothes in the center.

  • Harness at the top of the bag.

  • Board trapped by the compression straps with the bindings preventing the board from sliding through.



  • Old wool socks with the toes snipped or seat belt strap covers would keep the strap buckles from scratching your board.

Added bonus is that as long as you don't overpack, and the compression straps are cinched down, you should be able to ride with pack so you don't have to leave gear behind if you are backcountrying.

ATB,
Sam

Actually the PL Pro has been on my wishlist for a while. I hate leaving my gear just sit around while I'm off playing. Not that I've had any real problems, most is some by standers watching me. when they carried on their way they started snooping when they got to my pack of weights, meter and other gear I rolled over to them explained it was mine and everything is fine. Lately I've noticed a trend with myself, when loading up. I usually make ten trips to load everything. I was looking for board bags that would fit a wide range of board sizes, when I though about trying to find something I could also use in the winter. Kinda like searching for a luggage set I guess. If I can find one bag that would work to hold all my gear no matter what discipline; then, all I would need to do is shift gear around to that bag whenever I was heading out. A one bag fits all solution. Every snowboard bag I look at seems too narrow to fit the bill, and every kiteboard bag seems to only be made for boards no wider than 140cm. Wonder if my father would let me use his sewing machine to make a custom one from light canvas?????

correction......he would have to teach me how to sew first.:puzzled:

You ride a snowboard that's wider than 140cm :o :puzzled: :o

Duuuuuuuude, you are a god among men. May I call you Thor?!? :lol:

What sizes are your various boards?

Actually I only currently ride a 152cm LibTech Skate Banana. The reason I'd want something that wide is to fit my 144x44 kiteboard in the summer.....do they even make a snowboard that wide??????If so I'd definitely want to try one.....super float on the powpow, I'd imagine carving would be a #@%$#! though.



edit I guess if you had like a size 16 or something shoe you would require a board that wide....size 9 and a half for this guy

buddy has a dakine bag that he fits all his stuff in but I think his kiteboard is 135. it is similar to a golf bag but no wheels. It can be carried like a back pack complete with waist strap. Seems to work well. I think he bought it from windance.com
