Pretty sure SurfFX on the Goldie had triples in their shop - just can't remember what their brand was specifically

Yeah, that was my suggestion but lot of loose material if the other 2 boards are a lot shorter and narrower. Guess you could tie it up with some straps..

biggest thing would be the pure weight & unwieldiness - it'd be a two person lift & move , definitely take some packing & strapping down yeah

I don't think its possible SP the only option would be a custom bag.

Yeah, it's not fun. I did a single LB cover and double 7ftr years ago when we went Os. Ended up strapping them together. They were only about 16kg so not to heavy just wanted to go in differet directions.

These would work but not wide enough in the lb cover.

Looks like a triple LB cover is about the only option. **** they are dear though..

Reckon you could squeeze 3 boards 2 3/4 thick into one of them? 2 are 7ft long.
I have fitted 2 into a 10ft single cover so might be an option

Get one with wheels...I've got a 9'2 triple with no wheels and it sucks balls compared to my 7'6 with wheels

SP buy a cheap 666 cover as they are wider .slide boards in between a couple of cheap yoga mats or camp mats for padding and take the best travel tool in the world
duct tape .

Cut Pool noodles in half & tape them around nose / tail in case they move around.

Kmart yoga mat & then strap boards together. SUP bag is great idea
