DaKine SUP Board Bag

[singlepic=4490,188,125]I bought a DaKine board bag for a friend for Christmas which turned out to be the best present he got last year. The bag was for a 9' longboard but that gave me insight into the quality of these bags. For the first 3 months of 2008 we drove to the north shore quite a bit and this bag really came in handy.It was so handy that I had to get one for myself and here it is. The good thing for me is that I think the SUP Board Bag has more features than the one I got him for Christmas.I got the 10'4" version to hold my 8'9". It fits nice and snug and keeps my car from getting wet after a session. It's also not too heavy. I really like the reinforced handle on the bag. That extra support comes in handy from such a big board to carry.SUP Board Bag comes in 10'4", 11'0" and 12'3" and retails for $180-, $190- and $200-Available at Tropical Blends Surf and Wet Feet Hawaii.Features:Durable white tarpaulin to with heat reflective tarpaulin bottom3/8" Foam for maximum protectionHeavy duty corrosion proof wrap around zipper with internal protectionSidewall compression cinch strapsPaddle HandlePadded removable shoulder strap with stash pocketWax pocket(click thumbnail to launch video)[gallery=123]
