That was a really useful video I'm heading to the Maldives in July and was wondering what board bag to take and how to pack it now I know. Hope you are having a blast in South America yeeewww 🤙
Pretty cool to see this vid popping up now as I'm going into a trip to Bali tomorrow and I'm packing up currently hahaha ! Thanks for the tips ! (Ps : try to make the sound of the music and the one of your voice equal on the next vids, would be cool !)
Know it’s an old vid…but just out of curiosity, how many boards do you generally / usually travel with? And if it’s only 2 or so is or because you can get Sniper boards at location?
I just got back from Hawaii and I traveled with 2 boards there. I use custom boards so it isnt as easy to grab a board off the shelf but if needed, it can happen. But generally two is enough for shorter trips.
I use the laces as I wear really tight fins. Because the fins are tight it seems that wearing shoelaces doesn’t make them tighter and start to hurt my feet. When I try the heel pads they tend to start to hurt me real bad. Just personal preference I guess.
Iain Campbell Ahh that makes a lot of sense! I see a lot more people nowadays using the deluxe/pads. I guess they must have fin sizes that are slightly oversized in order to compensate for the added padding and decreased foot pocket size. Do you wear really tight fins out of preference, or are you just in between sizes? And when you say really tight, are you talking tight enough that you technically wouldn’t even need the strings most of the time? Thanks!
This question is about sliding out when DK - I am a natural when DK and it only happens when going right. What can I do to stop this from happening?? I should mention it only happens when the waves are bigger. Chur bro!
Howzit Stephen. It’s all about digging you back foot and putting more pressure on the inside rail. This will allow the rail to dig and gain more board into the turn. Will help a lot on all waves.
Another great video. Thanks for the information. You are my go to when I want to learn more about this awesome sport!
Stoked to hear it and happy to help. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips!
Please make a video showing how to clean materials and how you take care of them... Bodyboard, fins, wetsuit, stringers...
I love this idea man. I will do for sure. Thank you 🙏🏼
Iain Campbell
That's a great idea by Aaron De La Rosa Garcia. I'd love to see that also!
Hahaha schapelle Corby needed to watch this
I've packed surfboards using foam pipe insulation before, very light weight
Good option!

Im trying to make the sounds the same but not easy when you don't have a mic... Am just trying to make some cool helpful content...
I use a yoga matt too. 👍
Epic new vid🔥🔥🙌🏻
How do you lock the bag or do you leave it unlocked when checking in baggage?
After travelling to the US and getting my bag lock cut by customs, I just use cable ties now to secure them.
Can u teach us how u do barrel rolls
It’s coming soon 😉

Why do you pack the top board with the slick facing the top??
I do that because the slick is stronger than the deck. the top would be more prone to denting than the bottom. Thats why I do it that way!
Iain Campbell makes sense. Thanks mate 😀
Can you throw a small board into your carry on luggage? Just wondering so I can get threw TSA hastle free.
I guess if it’s under 30 inch maybe. But I’m doubtful.
@@iaincampbell_ thanks I fly out of Oahu @ 9 tomorrow 🤙
Love stuff like this! Do you use a specific fin string, or just shoe laces?
I use the fin strings from 662mob.com. Their range is pretty broad and many different ones to choose from. Works best with the special knot! 😉
Iain Campbell Awesome, thank you!
Iain Campbell Hey Iain, one more quick question if you don’t mind! What makes you choose strings over something like the deluxe fin tether/heel pads?
I use the laces as I wear really tight fins. Because the fins are tight it seems that wearing shoelaces doesn’t make them tighter and start to hurt my feet. When I try the heel pads they tend to start to hurt me real bad. Just personal preference I guess.

this shows i put absolutely no thought into bag packing when going away.
Haha, here to help man!

Iain Campbell Great!! Will definitely try this next time I'm in the water. Chur bro! 😀.
