Pro-Lite Rhino Single Longboard Travel Bag
Anyone comparing pro lite rhino surfboard travel bags for longboard trips is really weighing protection against weight, and the Rhino solves that by weighing in at much less than a wheeled bag while packing in the same body foam and material. This bag has 10mm foam protection designed for airline travel, built for the surfer stepping into the ring with the airline check in attendant.
Construction and Features
- 600 Denier Poly with 10mm foam
- Molded non-corrosive zippers
- Large exterior wetsuit and accessory pocket with drainage
- Sewn in divider to separate boards and keep wax from transferring
- Inner storage pocket
- Top zip flip top opening for sliding the board in and out
- Strap pocket, padded deluxe shoulder strap, and molded rubber handle
- Reinforced nose and rail guard around the zipper
- Vent to allow airflow and keep the board cool
- Custom Pro-Lite print panels
Fit and Who It Is For
This bag is designed to fit one longboard around 24 to 25 inches wide by 3 and 1/4 inches thick, with slightly wider boards fitting if they carry more tapered rails and less overall volume. It suits the surfer traveling with one to two boards who wants airline grade protection without the bulk of a wheeled case, and the same style is also available in shorter lengths for 7'6 to 9'6 boards.
Traveling and Caring for the Bag
The large exterior pocket with drainage keeps wet boardshorts and gear from soaking the rest of your kit, while the sewn in divider and inner storage pocket help keep wax off your board and small items organized during transit. Because the zippers are molded and non-corrosive, salt exposure will not seize them up the way it can on standard metal zippers, but rinsing the bag after ocean trips still helps keep the panels and foam performing over years of travel.
The Pro-Lite Story
Pro-Lite was born in 1982 when Bill and Dave sought out industrial sewers in Costa Mesa, California and began making a limited line of surf travel bags, making Pro-Lite the first bag manufacturer to produce travel grade surfboard bags in the United States.
