Recently decided on some trips this winter to go parawinging/winging. Got some sage advice to pack the foil and board separately. So I found a board bag - Foil-Tec - that fits my 62L Kalama Gator perfectly. Now the trouble is finding a bag that will fit my foil - AFS Enduro 900, short fuse, and 75 cm mast (possibly 85 cm as well if it fits). Everywhere I look online, there are foil bags, but NONE of them give dimensions so I have no idea whether they will work or not. Anyone use one that works for HA foils (up to 105 cm length)? Hoping to find one that has internal straps to ensure the foils don't bounce around.

I use the AFS foil bag for my Evo 1650. Maybe not as padded as a dedicated travel bag, but it's got some padding in it and you could always pack the foils in their cases too.

Thanks! I went down to my local AFS dealer to check out the bags. For anyone else who's curious, they measure about 122 cm length x 30 cm width x 13 cm depth. It has compartments to keep the mast, foil, tail, and hardware all separate from each other. In the shop I tested and fit the 1100 and 1300 Enduros and they also fit. The 1300 Enduro fits (119 cm wingspan) with just a little room left for extra wingtip padding.
The bag is great and was only $50. I think it would work for a pretty wide range of foils as long as the front wing and stabilizer can be removed. The entire case seems small enough that I might be able to pack it into a larger bag to also fit my parawings/wing, and accessory gear. I think this may work!
I use this and fill with towels/clothes and some pool noodles as extra padding around the edge.

A picture would be nice
Here you go. Even has plenty of room for my Duotone boom and possibly a second mast.

Yeah, I've been looking at that. I think my AFS bag will fit inside that and then I can pack in some clothes, wetsuit, parawings, and (I hope) an inflatable wing.
