When they call a board bag a ute, as opposed to a travel, tour or day bag, does that mean it's just for putting in the back of the ute?

Just checked it out.

Buggered if I know why.

Yep, got me buggered too.

Maybe they mean it's an extra big utility bag that you cay other crap in

Um WTF....please explain

it refers to the colour of the bag looking the colour of a aluminium tray.




ps disc - this probably is a crock of sh_______

Chrispy - travel board bags are generally a lot thicker - 10mm as opposed to 5mm - for more protection - is the general rule of thumb...but I think a good fit is just as important and always wrap a towel around the rails when travelling as your board normally gets thrown and dragged on them at the airport. If you cruise into a shop that stocks both the travel and normal bags you will notice the difference very easily. The last 3 yrs I have just been using the little creatures 1+2 and are more than happy with it. Its had a lot of use, zip still works a treat and its survived many an airport baggage handler. I recently brought a second one for my round nosed beast as well. Bit more expensive than yr standards but you can stick two boards in when ever you want.

Call the Boys at Balin and have a chat, I spoke to them earlier this year. Top guys.
