How to Choose a Kitesurfing bag
Get One with Wheels On
This is for those kitesurfing riders who travel a lot in different places, but don’t want to carry a heavy bag that contains all of their equipment. Getting a bag with wheels on will do wonders for you, especially if your travels include checking your bag in at the airport before flying. This is specially helpful if you often have connecting flights and you change terminals everytime.
Figure Out the Right Size for You
Again, if you’re someone who travels a lot for your kitesurfing escapades, finding the right kitesurfing bag size for your gear is essential. One of the dilemmas when it comes to bag size is how to make sure it checks out as “normal luggage” at the airport. See my product recommendations below for smaller-sized bags that can still fit your equipment.
The Golf Luggage Trick
Some kitesurfing gear bags have the letters “golf” in them because some airlines companies let golf luggage without any fees. This doesn’t usually happen though, especially if you don’t look like the type of person who is into golf (lol).
