Given my indecisive nature, lately I have been feeling the need to take a couple of different kites and boards on every session but I am getting sick of carting two kites, two surfboards and associated gear down the beach track.
Over the past few years I have been given a couple of large vinyl duffel bags (semi-waterproof ones with backpack straps) and was thinking about putting the kites, bars and maybe a pump in the duffel to save carrying two kite backpacks down the beach. Not too keen on just shoving the kites in the duffel bag so was thinking about putting them in a compression bag (or similar) first. Has anyone used these compression bags?
(I'm pretty sure this idea has been mentioned before on here but I can't find the original thread on the search function and I'm away at work so I can't pop into my local shop to have a yak.)

What about just a slinky drawstring nylon bag like what ozone used to give you for free as an inner bag. I think cabrinha did too.

I used these all the time and left my main bag unused, as bags go flexifoils are a work of art

First World Problem..................how do i transport my Toyz to the beach

In the Third World you'd have 50 blokes clambering over each other to do it for you for next to nothing

Do it two trips and treat it as a warm up

Great idea I use an old kite bag from years back which was a generous size.
Melbourne company "25 Knots" used to have a good looking double kite bag.
