WSnS for Pryde bags.

Great bags, but make sure you look after the zippers!

What size are you chasing (wave/race/freestyle) ?
With wheels or without ?

Not sure exactly what size, but something that will fit a 460 mast will be enough for me. Ideally with wheels.

As others have said - CALL Sam.

We've got them in stock right now.

Sam.

Great, whats the cost on one with wheels big enough to fit a 460? Thanks.

No offence to me at all, might be a bit worn out from a damn cold and lack of water time though.
The guys at WSnS are great, as you said there are few shops left, and even fewer that stock anything at all.

If you call them they will be able to tell you about any freight, sizing etc all in one hit instead of some pseudo negotiation on a public forum.

Thanks for that JayBee... Always that cheery or just the lack of wind?

Tried to call, no answer so thought I'd try and get an answer through the forum, do apologise if its offended you!

The Neil Pryde All in One bags are great. I got one and just love it. Makes getting your stuff in and out of the car soooo much easier. The one I have also has a "strap tunnel" so you can pack your sails on top of the board without squashing the sails.

Also, next time you go on a windsurf holiday just take your rig and rent a board at your destination. Makes air travel a lot easier.

I would however second the comment regarding "looking after the zippers". While this is not specific to Neil Pryde bag it does actually apply to all quiver bags. Even if you wash your gear after use there seems to be enough salt residue cause salt build up and subsequent corrosion on the runner part of the zipper. Regular application of some vinegar on the zipper and runners does wonders.

Sounds like exactly the right thing for me. Ideally I want to get the following in it:

5 sails - NP Helium 7.5, NP Excess 6.9 and 5.9, Gaastra remedy 5.2 and 4.8.
3 masts - 460, 430 and 400
1 boom
And then if there is space a couple of extensions etc....

I have a Nissan people carrier/van so hoping that I can get the boards down one side of the van with the rig bag on top, although quite a lot of weight on the boards I guess - leaving the other side free for people and other stuff.

I've also made that mistake before when getting a bag on to the roof, not fun! But the plan is to slide the bag into the back behind the front seats, only concern is that 40kgs (if thats what it is, wouldn't have a clue other than knowing its bloody heavy!) is sat on top of the 2 boards and I'm not sure how good that will be for them - any thoughts?

Great, thanks DavMan, will be doing that rare thing of enjoyable shopping this weekend!
