The new paddle bag is now slightly bigger making it possable to fit three paddles.. The new 14' Glide bag fits the new 29" wide Glide perfectly.. Not too tight (in length) like in the past and not too baggy (in width) so it shouldn't flap up and down hitting the car roof.. They also got the white on the right side (white on top when up side down on the roof of the car).. There is a noticable improvement in quallity and they are very reasonably priced.. imo..
I got the red and white fella with my new Glide and was rather shocked at the colour.
In the end it does what it is supposed to do and protect the board in transit and storage.
One problem with it is that the fin slot doesn't go far enough forward if you have the fin forward as I do at the moment.
Srtill very happy with my purchase though.

The Hokua 32 LE comes with a free travel "Cover" which is fine for day to day use but certainley not for air travel, pity they didint stitch a SUP handle on the board cover though, its a pain to carry without, maybe next year, alright for free though :-)
The new bags don't have fin slots.. they are 3D shaped to cover the fins..
It's a little on the big side but that just gives more room for padding..
The bag that comes with the X32 is certainly no good for travel, Virgin sorted that out with 1 trip Brisbane - Perth, ripped it to shreds, it's good for a day bag. Mind you it was a pleasant surprise when I got the board, never had one come free with any new board before , so gotta be good value
