Wind Surf Gear

Hi guys, Im looking for a bag for a wind surf board.
Ive been to the great outdoors and they don't do them,they do only surf boards.
what Im specifically looking for is a bag for
Fanatic Shark 160 Board 268cm x 80cm!
This is obviously a xmas pressie so a shop to walk into or v v quick delivery would be nice. Any idea's where I would get one.

My dad doesnt use bags so this may sound really stupid, but...

How about using a surfboard bag? Just maybe a size larger or something.

I was thinking that alright but was wondering would it be the same?
The guy I talked to in shop made it clear there was a difference....... so Im guessing its not just the size, would there need to be more space for where to boom\sail goes?

Unpossible

well, it depends. Me & my dad are the type people who would go to extreemes to make it work so maybe you shouldnt listen to us, but...


There are differences between surfboards and windsurf boards, Im not familiar with brands I just sail whatever Im given when Im back home. Generally the windsurf board is going to be thicker or wider and the fin at the back should be bigger.

so Im guessing its not just the size, would there need to be more space for where to boom\sail goes?

Sails come in their own bags afaik, we keep ours in different bags so its easier to find the right one. Im not sure I would put a boom into the bag with the board, but then what do I know, we have a van so everything goes in there.

Rattlehead,

Windsurfing board bags are thicker to allow for the extra volume of a windsurfing board (to float the rig). you will not find a surfboard bag to fit a windsurfing board

Board bags can be bought in Surfdock in Ringsend
