I do fair bit of travel with my kite gear. Whilst I've got Airush Kite Bags they've no wheels... I'm both weak and lazy so need an upgrade.

Was thinking of the Flying Objects Kite Roller Bag - www.flyingobjects.com.au/products/kiteboard/kite-roller-bag/

Good price and appears to have all the essential features (wheels, space!)

Any other recommendations?

Thanks

I has a cabrihna golf bag that I lugged all over the world. I had to get an egyptian man on the street in Laos to sew me a shoulder strap on it for carrying comfort, other than that it survived massive abuse and the zip never salted up like most do eventually (I may have been wise enough to apply lanolin when purchased, can't remember)

We have sold north, ion, flying objects, ozone and Dakine travel bags. North and ion are mostly what we stock now as they have pretty good resilience vs weight. Flying objects were heavy so eat into allowance, dakine were a nightmare to deal with and inconsistent at filling orders, and ozone didn't have wheels.
North combi bag comes in 135 and 150 fits 2 boards and 2 kites. The Ion gear bag come in 140 and 158 and fits 2 boards and 3 kites.
Price is about same $180 for smaller of each brand and $190 for the larger, so pretty good value for money.
The thing to remember is check the airline re weights and lengths as the cheapest flights usually sting you for luggage. We always fly virgin at $35 for an additional bag at 23 kilos regardless of size
