Hey Friends!
Erik Hanson here. I am headed on my annual brothers surf/kite/adventure trip with my 2 younger bros Jay and Carl to Playa Del Carmen. This is the 6 or 7th annual with past trips to Costa Rica, Baja, Washington State, Tuff city, and beyond. Jay is instructing kiteboarding there so it works out perfectly.
I am looking for a bag to pack my gear down in. If anyone has one they want to get rid of or at least borrow. I would be really appreciative.
Have a swell day.
EKE.

go to a golf store near you and buy an big golf bag (for over your club bag). Cheap and will fool the airlines. You need not buy a marked up kite specific bag.

Hey Eric... I have a Best Golf (Kite) Bag. When are you going and returning? I am planning a trip as well, so I will need it for that. PM me let me know... And for those KOOKS out there... Measure your board before you buy a travel golf bag. Golf clubs are shorter....(And it will probably cost more$$$)

yes measure your boards first!..... I checked out all the golf bags and found them to be to short. I order a deceiver one from Vancouver.
BUT!!! if a 48" bag works there is a really nice golf bag I saw at Value Village Victoria for about 36 last week I was almost tempted to pick it up.

Hi Eric,
I have one that I have used in the past. You are welcome to borrow it for the winter. It is a topflight and fits a Zen 135, not sure if it will fit a Mako. Pm me if you are interested.

Yeah like a Wind Addicts Annonomous Club that some KOOK suggested we try and start...And then...Get this...KOOK doesn't even show up...Good Try Ruben... For someone who so "Pro Community Spirit" You sure aren't getting started on the right foot...
If you had any real balls you would show up at the beach and you could put your money where your mouth is and try to learn the sport instead of sitting at home being a KOOK WANNABE... Pretty tough to take someone like that serious...

I have been pondering the "pros" advice that said "wait for May and good winds or go down south" . Very confusing forums, with such contradictory information. So winter is an appropriate time to learn ?
medication x2

Just starting to have fun, who needs meds?
Going down to the beach and talking with people, getting to know the community, getting informed.. Bad idea... Yes wait till summer....
Feel free to pm me if you want to have more of these pleasant little discussions, I think Eric was just trying to get ahold of a travel bag for his holidays...Can you help him out or not?
he hey
