The ultimate surfing backpack has a huge 22 litres of storage, includes a free changebag and carries your board for you. What more could you want in a surf backpack!? With
3 compartments, padded music holder, shock straps and 2x bottle holders theres plenty
of room to pack everything including a couple of wetties, towel, rashies, fins,
leashes, you name it. The changebag protects your wetsuit while you change and keeps
it separate from dry items. And the 'no brain' boardbag connection allows you to carry your board in handsfree comfort over any type of terrain, including that peak down the beach and away from the crowd.
Also great for traveling, hands-free carry reduces the hassle of negotiating your surfboards through busy airports. And once you have checked in your boards the Fatboy is the perfect size to take as onboard as cabin luggage. We weren’t kidding when we called this the ultimate surf backpack!

what the experts say... |

"...carrying heavy bags slung over one shoulder....can lead to long term muscle
strain, distortion of the natural S curve of the spine and rounding of the shoulders."
Sarah Nelson, Waikato Times June 2004.
*Traditionally surfers carry their boards under one arm which loads the thoracic
and cervical spine, shoulder, elbow and wrist joints down that side as well as placing
the muscles involved in a constrained, loaded position. Due to the shape and size
of surfboards it is impractical to carry them with the weight spread evenly through
the mid-line. The boardcarry backpack spreads the load across the upper body, reduces
load and static muscle contraction on the "carrying" side and arm, and if used correctly
should thus assist to reduce injuries to these areas. Gill Watson NZROT NZAOT
