Heading off to Bali tonight and I'm wondering if anyone has a kiteboard bag they are willing to lend/lease/sell. I'm away for two weeks and would be happy to return it with some cash to make it worth someones while.

Any help appreciated.


(I just called SHQ and RPS but they're both closed. No wonder retail stores struggle when they can't be bothered opening on one of the years busiest trading days.)

I have a Golf bag. No need to rent, just drop by port melbourne and collect and drop it off again when you're finished with it. Send me a PM for my number.

Those shops are owned and run by people who have families just like you, not large corporations chasing market share and insanely profit driven. Surely people should come first, before profits?

Maybe, but then every industry has its downsides. Silly season trading hours would be the one I associate with retail.

I only associate those silly season, ridiculous non family friendly post Christmas sales with larger corporate business's.
I'm not interested in slaving away on the few days that we take off as public holidays, nor are any of my staff, so we stay shut. Fairly sure thats the way it is for the owners of the 2 shops you mentioned in Vic (I'm with my family in Vic and our shops are not open).

Fortunately we are still a living in a caring community and some offered you a bag, if we were all at work though maybe people would not be feeling so generous??

Anyway Happy Holiday, I'm going for walk in the sun.

I don't know if Saffer would have been up for lending me his bag if he were stuck at work but he's a top bloke regardless. Enjoy the walk and enjoy your break.

/ so endeth the happy tale of the kiter who wanted a travel bag.

It seems a bit last minute to do your packing and just now realising you need to store your stuff when you go. Did youvask Santa for one.
You have to be for real thinking a kite shop would be open. Even the supermarkets close boxing day.
Good luck finding a bag buyer make sure it isn't a boogie board cover.
