FYI: Cheap gear bag


I have a lot of random kite gear. Been looking for a bag of some sort for a while.

Remember how Best ran that deal where you could buy a kite and if you didn't need or want the pump or bag; they would deduct from the price? They could reuse the pumps; but not so much for the bags... At least the first time around.

My bag is from a 7m Cabo.

http://www.realwatersports.com/best-kite-backpack-large

If they can sell the bag off for $20; I wonder:

How much did the factory charge per bag?

How much did Best sell the bags to Real for?

Or maybe Real is selling off the bags for free as a favor for Best?

At one time; after Best moved out of Florida their office was(still is?) literally almost across the street from Real.

It's mostly the same. Biggest change is it doesn't have that bottom pocket. A 2013 bag I suspect: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/33567716@N03/sets/721576474584...

You read my mind. I'm trying to resist but this is just too good of a deal and it would beat the baseball bags I'm keeping the peak and the nasa's in

My bags came today. They are huge. Thanks for the heads up RTZ! They should be perfect for the nasa quiver in one and the peak in the other.

This was such a great deal. I just dropped my son off at college and he used the second kite bag to put his stuff in and is using the laptop case for his laptop. One of the best deals on anything I've bought in a long time. :thumbup: Good looking out RTZ.

I fit 3 peaks,my harness, and still have room for odds and ends. Don't think I'd like to actually hike that
far with it, but it will hold a ton of stuff. That was a good catch rtz !
