Hello All,
I need a light golf type bag to carry 3/4 kites and a twin tip with boots in 136 / 42
Ideally that bag shall be foldable and light.
May i know what would be your suggestion for this ?
For the moment i have in mind :
North Kiteboarding Combi Bag / 150cm - 150cm x 45cm x 35cm (the team bag seems too big)
Otherwise the Naish Golf Bag seems nice but i dont think i can fit 3 kites + boots.
The PROLIMIT Aero golf bag could be an option as well as it is the lightest one with removable wheel and weight less than all the other.
Thanks for your comments

I use the epic kites roller bag. For the price you can't beat it , you get 2 bags for the price and they fit nicely together. You tube shows some videos of the epic kites kite bag just you tube that.
Check out Jeff Howard kite boarding .Com
He does a great article on kite bags on you tube and the weight of each.

Take a look at the Crazy Fly bags. I have a 140 cm golf bag which would take the gear you describe. It's decently light as it has no wheels (it does have pack straps so you can carry it on your back) , has a single compartment with compression straps around the exterior.

I have crazy fly bag with no Wheels. I put 1 board, 2 kite and bars. Harness, booties and 1 trainer kite. I think you could fit another kite, not sure about boots. Might have to fold kite a bit better than mine. I just use compression bag. There is still plenty of room in bag height wise so you could stack up kites I guess.
The gear and bag registered a bit less than 40lb at the airport.

personally I my 3 kites and 3 bars and harness in a big light suitcase.
Then I have small board bag that fit only 1 board.
In the plane used the kite bag of my bigger kite (13) to put all my clothes as carry on baggage.
I never take a pump because when I go on kite travel, it is always near a kite school when I can store my gears. So they have compressors.

Have a look to this one
http://www.mysticboarding.com/products/ ... 1/elevate/
not sure if 45 is the width but even with a 40 width one you should be fine.
Otherwise the North combi bag in 135 or 150 should be fine. If you're checking the dimensions from a shop website (I couldn't find in north website) be care cos sometime they aren't correct. It already happened to me.
I have an old Da Kine which is bombproof and with really nice wheels but it's really heavy (6,5kg): the last time I travelled with 3 kites, 2 bars, 2 wetsuits, harness and spare parts I reached the 32 kg and I had to take the boots as hand luggage.
Right now for short trip I took
http://www.liquidforce.com/luggage-day-tripper.html
which is lined but not padded, weight 1 kg and can carry quite a few things without pay the extra weight. A padded option is the LF Weekender Backpack Wakeboard Bag.
Both of them are without wheels.
