2010 Kiteboard Bag Rundown with S2AS - Part 3

Concluding our feature on the different kinds of kiteboard bags available feature we are again looking at some of our favourite 2010 kiteboard bags available at S2AS. As before we are keeping it simple with a look at the bags, how they feel, any features and what we like about them.

A quick recap on how not all kiteboard bags are the same; you have 3 types:
  • Kiteboard only bags – These are designed to fit one kiteboard and no extra gear
  • Kiteboard and other small gear bags – Designed to fit one kiteboard and some accessories such as a wetsuit, harness etc
  • Kite and Kiteboard bags – Typically wheeled bags that are designed to hold up to 3 kites and 2 kiteboards.
The last area we will be looking at are the daddy of all kitesurfing equipment bags. The bags below will cost you more; however they have lots more features for your money. These bags can take up to 3 kites, 2 boards, a harness, wetsuit, helmet and anything else you may need to take away with you!
