Travel Board

Postby Don Losee » Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:09 pm

The Airlines are jamming us for taking our sticks along. This baby fits perfect in a suit case. Billy is riding one back east and Jason K. is taking his new 3B Travel Board to Cabaret. Lite strong 135 x 44 cm.

Very innovative, and looks clean. If it holds up under Billy's feet it is definitely bomber. Got one of those in a stand up model?

Having a blast with the travel shape! I have been landing hard, turning hard and have yet to find a flaw in the way it rides. It adds the weight of the "top plate but since it packs up in a suit case thats fine with me! I packed up two kites, travel board n harness, clothes wet suits n stuff, no questions at the air port, and only a few minutes to put it together and take it apart, well done Don!

Dude! Erik told me about this one, but these are the first pics I've seen. Very nice. Hmmm, 44 cm wide... does it fit in your rollerboard? ...(20 minutes later- edited- you know, higher math and only so many fingers/toes...)Oh, duh. I guess not. crap. Still- wayy cooler than having to take a big board bag, I could find a smaller duffle and cheat it along with me I guess... How much will it cost?

Is it worth your time to cut an existing board, seal it up, and put carbon plate on it?
Would it be cost effective for the customer?
Kinda like split board guys do for the snow?

Yes Marty! I like your roll. May I use your idea?

I would be glad to cut any board you like. If it has a foam core we can beef it up with some carbon. The inserts for m6 hardware will set up well in almost any base. The drag from the split and the inserts is unnoticeable. My top plate is what really works about this concept. The top plate is so strong it does not matter what board we split.

That's kind of you to think that way,,
But it'll cost ya...ha

It's your idea, just a modified version.

Now you gotta figure a way for me to travel with my surfboard ???
Actually,,,
I just bought a Air Wagon to take it all, from now on.
$50 when using Southwest!!!
But they don't fly to Maui :cry:
