Hello All!
Brief intro:
My name is Igor. I guess, only Chuck Hardin - my first windsurf Guru 
- knows me around here 
My first step on the board was only 3 months ago (Labor Day)... so, you got the picture (i'm gonna ask stupid questions)
Ok. A general question is how you guys are traveling somewhere further then Lake Lanier, with your family (which means you cannot put your sails, booms and masts inside your car) ? I now how Chuck is doing it with his trailer... It's not going to work for me, I just have a regular honda accord sedan car (with a roof rack)
I figured, I will need a bag for my equipment where I can put my sails, masts AND booms... so, I cannot put anything inside my car (because I will have 4 people in it). And this bag should be roof rack mountable. So, I will have my board on the roof rack and on a top of it it's gonna be the bag with all the equip.
Believe it or not but I could not find a good combo bag for my windsurfing equipment in USA/Canada! :evil: Google, Yahoo search engines just keep giving me UK/Europe web-sites for the bags I wanted... and I could only find two bags:
- "Pat Love Master Quiverbag" - http://www.2xs.co.uk/Pat_Love_Master_Quiverbag.asp?CID=111
- "Pro Limit Session Bag, Wave" - http://www.2xs.co.uk/Pro_Limit_Session_Bag.asp?CID=111
with no dimensions though... so, I don't know if my equip. will fit in there (with booms!).
And I am leaving for Key West in 3 weeks...
I cannot believe that nobody had this problem and didn't solve it...
So, more specific question is: which of those two bags would you recommend? Or maybe there is a solution I've overlooked? Or maybe somebody has a used bag like this?
P.S. sorry for babbling :oops:
Thanks!
Igor.
With the best wishes, Rodnoy.
Pro limit makes some top quality bags

Do you know, by any chance, the dimensions of that bag?
Thanks!

A friend has the wave session bag he carries 4.7 5.3 6.2 & 7.0 sails. A 460 and two 400 mast, it's really made for 430's but he can squeeze a 460 in the middle
the next size up is the freeride session and It will fit up too a 9.5 sail and 490 mast, I've had 5 sails and three mast squeezed into mine it before but that max's it out.

here are the new ones

they also make a sessions board bag that's pretty cool. It will hold your board, sails, mast, booms...everything

Alan
Yeah, that's cool. I'd like to buy the "Aero Session" bag
But still I couldn't find WHERE I can buy them :cry:
Anyway, thank you for the info
I found one distributor in Georgia: "Windsense Windsurfing" but couldn't reach him by phone today... will try tomorrow...
I guess, I will end up buying the bag in UK, hoping it's Ok... I can't believe nobody sells them in USA... it's amazing... man!..:)
Thanks!
Igor.
With the best wishes, Rodnoy.

I have a Dakine duplex quiver bag, the "Freeride" is 9'. It holds three 2-piece masts and ~5 sails. When full, it's pretty dang heavy. Whatever you get, I think you should buy from your guru or some other friendly, local WS dealer. Also, Murrays Marine shows pix w/ dimensions, etc.

I have travelled w/ booms on top of a board and one or two sails nested between masts (so they don't get totally crunched) and cinched down carefully w/ bungees. Wind has a way of working things loose on a long ride, so do this thoughtfully if you do it and check it occaisionally.
It seems like it's been windy in the Keys lately... and WARM!
I also have a Dakine quiver bag -- probably the same one that Chris V. has. I can easily put five sails in it and three masts (easily holds a 490). It's a few years old, but I've only used it a few times and still looks practically brand new. I'd be happy to sell it for pretty cheap.
Give me a call if you're interested: 404-808-5742.
Kristian
Yep, that's exactly what I'm gonna do
That's the reason why I want a bag where my boom will fit... and the only thought that something will fly away with 80mph on a highway right to the next car's windshield gives me creeps, man... like in the "Final Destination 2" :shock:
Yep... i've been checking the winds for a week now... can't wait to get there!
Thanks!
Igor.
With the best wishes, Rodnoy.
Kristian, thank you very much!
)...
I will try to get the Aero ProLimit bug through Gene first (the bag where my booms will fit easily along with other stuff and I won't have that final-destination-2-like nightmare meantime
P.S. Unless the width of your bag is somewhere around 20-22 (or more) inches...:roll:
Thanks!
Igor.
With the best wishes, Rodnoy.
Igor, you might check to see that the total width of the board & bag you're looking at will fit on your racks.
I routinely put 2 or 3 booms on top of one or even two boards on my roof with staps over the whole thing-- very secure. (Quiver bag rides next to that stack). Or if I carry 3 boards, the stack is pretty tall, so I put the booms standing "on edge" (bungeed to the rack) between the quiver bag & boards.
