God Save the Wind

The black colourway will only be available in limited numbers and they are taking pre-orders now

From 7th October 2009, BA baggage policy is changing. If your sporting bag is no more than 240cm x 75cm x 65cm including the handle, pockets and wheels, and no more than 23kg in weight, you can add it on free of charge. Anything larger gets charged.

Golfers, tennis players and anglers are ok, but surfers and windsurfers are in trouble. No mention of kiteboarders, but it may be safe to assume you`ll make it through if you pack it well.

Improving on basic surf bag design, Nicholas Martino dreamed up a way to make surfer's lives easier by adding inflatable chambers for more protection. Although it's still a prototype, we hope to see it pushed into production soon.

The cover not only offers supreme defense from dings, but also makes for a convenient way to transport boards via a cushy handhold and it doubles as a sleeping mat for those who like to hike out to their favorite breaks or sleep in the back of their truck when anticipating swells. One clever aspect is that Martino cleverly recommends filling it with helium, adding a little lift to lighten the load... great for getting your load through airport check-in.

A simple and thoughtful multipurpose design, that he hopes to see this product in stores soon. Keep your eyes out in the future for more from Martino. Contact him at nicholas [dot] martino [at] bigpond [dot] com.


If you can't wait, there is a another version from Soma with similar protective features (pictured in silver). The added convenience of compact portability—the cover deflates and rolls into a small carrying bag—is reason enough to purchase. Available from Soma for $150.
