Does anyone know where I can get a Neil Pryde All In One bag? Seems to be a lack of windsurfing shops in NSW!
Or alternatively, do any of you have one you want to sell on?
Thanks!
As others have said - CALL Sam.

No offence to me at all, might be a bit worn out from a damn cold and lack of water time though.
The guys at WSnS are great, as you said there are few shops left, and even fewer that stock anything at all.
If you call them they will be able to tell you about any freight, sizing etc all in one hit instead of some pseudo negotiation on a public forum.

No stress Confused. All in one bags do have wheels and will take a 460. Retail is $360.
We are open 7 days all year round but over Winter we're trying to save some sanity by shortening our opening hours down to 10-4 with the exception of Saturday from 9-5.
If you want we can organise freight pretty easily for you.

The Neil Pryde All in One bags are great. I got one and just love it. Makes getting your stuff in and out of the car soooo much easier. The one I have also has a "strap tunnel" so you can pack your sails on top of the board without squashing the sails.
Also, next time you go on a windsurf holiday just take your rig and rent a board at your destination. Makes air travel a lot easier.
I would however second the comment regarding "looking after the zippers". While this is not specific to Neil Pryde bag it does actually apply to all quiver bags. Even if you wash your gear after use there seems to be enough salt residue cause salt build up and subsequent corrosion on the runner part of the zipper. Regular application of some vinegar on the zipper and runners does wonders.
I can get a board, mast, boom, extension, harness and two sails in mine and still be under the 'required' weight for air travel.
If I'm going for a longer trip and need the full quiver (double the above) I can get 2 x boards in a double board bag which then straps onto the top of the wheeled 'all in one' so you can easily make your own way from the luggage retrieval out to the car park.
As Stehs said the strap tunnel is great for loading the whole thing ontop of the roof racks without squashing/creasing your sails.
Knowing just what you want to put in it will help determine what length/size 'all in one' you will require.
Sounds like exactly the right thing for me. Ideally I want to get the following in it:
5 sails - NP Helium 7.5, NP Excess 6.9 and 5.9, Gaastra remedy 5.2 and 4.8.
3 masts - 460, 430 and 400
1 boom
And then if there is space a couple of extensions etc....
I have a Nissan people carrier/van so hoping that I can get the boards down one side of the van with the rig bag on top, although quite a lot of weight on the boards I guess - leaving the other side free for people and other stuff.
I've also made that mistake before when getting a bag on to the roof, not fun! But the plan is to slide the bag into the back behind the front seats, only concern is that 40kgs (if thats what it is, wouldn't have a clue other than knowing its bloody heavy!) is sat on top of the 2 boards and I'm not sure how good that will be for them - any thoughts?
