Need an opinion on a travel bag for a wakeskate.

A.Rodriguez

Is it worth purchasing? I'm leaving on a trip to shred the sask waters in June and I want to bring my Wakeskate along with me.

1. Has anybody experienced traveling with a wakeskate.

2. Has anybody purchased this travel bag? And if so was there any issues with it?

The trick to traveling with a wakeskate is to tell them its a kneeboard

If not they will most likely charge you for it

Dont know about that bag tho

I have this one

Was able to fit a board, shoes, a rope, and a wetsuit in there last time I took a wakeskate trip

Here is a link to purchase this one

I just saw that LF bag at Scheels Outdoor Store for $75! Look around you can prob find it for cheaper. That bag is sweet because it fits your clothes and that top piece can zip off.

Cassette bag is a steal though if you can find one for $20! Smash

I'm going to definitely look into the cassette bag. For 20.00 you can't beat that.

the cassette bag really is a good one to have and it seems like one bag pops up on ebay on a weekly basis or so. One other one I liked was the performance travel bag. If you really want to fit a lot of stuff in your bag for a trip, that one looked really nice. It's going to be more expensive though, and looking on the site, they might be sold out because I can't find it.

R6aries, I've got the lf-bag and it's definitely worth the money! you can easily fit your wakeskate equipment plus a weeks surplus of clothes into it. the wheels come in handy too, except I swapped mine with urethane inline-skate wheels because the ones that are already on it are plastic and super noisy.
besides it being a lf-product I'd still recomend it if you're looking for a bag with which you want to transport additional clothes and shít.
in my eyes, the cassette bag would be the right choice for everyday wakeskate equipment transportation.

R6aries, it wasn't that big. it was just a nice wakeskate size. Originally I saw it because some of performance's riders had that bag and they fit a ton of stuff in it.

R6aries, don't bring a board.
You will be able to ride whatever you want.

R6aries, I own that liquid force bag, best purchase for traveling with a wakeskate that you can buy. I'm really happy with it. Enough room for skates, wetsuits and everything. Plus, you have the bag on top for clothes.

Great Buy, Highly recommend

I've traveled toooons of times with a wakeskate. Every time I've flown I just check it in at the desk and they put it with the strollers and wheel chairs etc. free of charge.. I've never paid to take a deck.
