Hey peeps,
First time post and just new to kitesurfing,
having a great time, but have a question around transporting the gear on a motorbike. I am mainly in St Kilda and parking is a pain, would rather run down on my motorbike without having to stress about parking
I have looked at surfboard rack and when its windy I am not liking the look of how it will affect the handling of the bike when its windy
I am trying to search around for a backpack that will take the kite, bars/lines, pump and board..I think that it would not be an issue with a small board, but as I am new I have a 155 and its BIG...does anyone have an idea to transport or a bag that will help me get my gear to the beach without running the risk of being blown over!
Appreciate it
Its doable. There is a guy up here that rides his bm with two kites and a twin tip. Lots of tiedowns.
A surfboard rack on a motorbike is way safer than having it on your back, don't think you will notice it much on the rack unless u have a side wind.
Hi i would recommend you look at a new local kite bag company called 25knots who make a double kite carry bag which will fit 2 kites, 2 bars, pump and other bits into it. It also allows you to attach a twin tip. It has straps to attach your board on the back of it.
Have a look at the website: www.25knots.com.au.
I think they are doing a special and it includes a couple of compression bags. A mate of mine has the bag and they rate it
I do this.
The orange things are bought from Bunnings. There for hanging/storing stuff from the wall. My kite and board both fit in my board bag and i use a strap to secure it. Its quick, easy and very secure.
Ive tried a few things and this is by far the best way ive found of doing it.
I put some racks on my scooter as I am currently without a vehicle.. Seems to work well and I have seen many other scooters at the beach with the same racks.
Pretty cheap and very stable. I do get heaps of 'is perth turning into bali' looks but pretty convenient..
Think they are called hung racks.
