Travelling overseas in December and bringing my surfboard, a twin-tip and 1 kite. I need a bag that will carry all three items; preferably with wheels. The bag has to accommodate a board that's 5'9" (177cm). Thanks for any info.

I bought one of these bags (although it was 7foot), from this same mob in June. Super cheap and excellent service. Bag is of average quality but perfect for the price. No wheels though. Being a double I easily stuffed my surfboard 6'8", kite board, kite 12m, lines, pump, harness towel and spring suit in for a recent trip to Bali. I'd imagine a double surfboard bag with wheels would probably suit you best, however I was after a very budget option. IIRC a double wheelie bag from Mordie Surf was a bit under $300.

How ya doing MG.. went to Fiji and took a bunch of stuff.. i just used a good quality surf board bag.. took all the bindings,fins off my boards and taped the TT to the bottom of my surfboard.. lay 2 kites flat and put them in an extended cabrinha bag and lay them on top of the surfboard.. this all protected my board.. worked really well.. and the airlines only count a board bag as 5kg as long as it weighs under 32kg..so i stuffed another board bag full of **** to.. i took about 80kg of stuff to fiji and didn't get charged any excess baggage
Have a great trip.. might catch up next year

the creatures of leisure bags are the best, u will pay a bit more for the bag but the zippers will last. and they come with a day board bag in it too.

you can choose with wheels or without, go without to save some extra kg's...
