Hi
Having a board that,s to long for a Bodyboard bag , but to short for a short board bag thougt I might have to go down the road of a custom made bag with all the expense that incurs until on eBay found a Wakeboard bag 59" X24 "and four inches deep fully padded with drainage hole for £23 or about 34 of your U S dollars result  _________________ Jerry Phillips |

i bought a wakeboard bag a while back. I agree they are a good size for paipo, the one I have , though is pretty bulky (possibly a problem if flying & faced with weight restrictions) and I wouldn't like to be carrying it around for a long time. Strength wise they are sturdy & for throwing in the back of the car - they are great.

Here is some info:
http://mypaipoboards.org/PaipoBoardBags.shtml
It would be an understatement to say I own a number of board bags, ranging from day trip bags (usually wide nose XL skim board bags) to airline tough travel bags. The day trip bag is usually packed inside the travel bag and depending upon the destination, some towels, wetsuits and other wet gear.
Most of the travel bags are marketed as snow boarding or knee boarding (river/lake style boards) bags. Add about 3 to 4 inches to the length and 2 inches to the width of your paipo for a good fit and to allow for a towel wrap for the nose and the rail opposite the carrying handle (double or triple layered small bubble wrap also works).
Today's airline baggage policies are making me push the envelope on the number of checked bags - especially since I wear contact lenses and can not carry-on saline solution, general solutions and maybe even contact lenses, and loading all that stuff up in a board bag will weigh it down considerably. I also try to keep the paipo (50x20.5x2.5 inches) bag small and light enough to get "free clearance" as a "boogie board / bodyboard" an avoid "surfboard" or oversize fees (usually not the weight, but the linear measurement L x W x D limit of 62"). _________________ rodNDtube
