Is anyone else over traffic..?
I'm looking at options to carry my gear to the beach on a bike or scooter.
I've seen racks, like in bali but does anyone know of any twin tip board bag / sleeve that can act as a backpack?

Seems like a simpler option, kite of front, board on back..

dead easy - board on side - on a motor bike - just grab two 'occy' straps - one for the front & one for the back ... attach the front one to
the front mirror or similar spot on the handle bar - the back one usually around the back blinker or similar spot

I've used them for surfboards as well on motor bikes in Bali & Thailand...

(much better than as a backpack as u get too much wind drag)

B warned, that if you have any rack on the side of any vehicle , including motor cycles . they cannot protrude more than 150mm .they can be defected as a dangerous protrusion

I have a big backpack,

everything can fit in the bag,2 kites,bar and lines,harness and pump ect,

then I sit my TT on the seat and throw an occy strap over it to make its surure then sit on it

,I loosen the straps on the backpack so as it sits on the TT,no weight on my shoulders,too easy,job done

..............then I head off on my trusty 1965 Honda Cub top speed 20 kmph.....maybe......

My method . Probably not recommended in Aus/NZ for reason mentioned above.

I just sit on my board, middle fin tight against the front of the scooter seat, twin tip would be even easier I imagine, everything else in backpack. Primo parking every time which can be an issue on those hot windy days in Perth.
