Prolimit Kitesurfing Travel Case Aero with Slider Wheels Black/Orange is designed for those who often fly or travel a lot of miles to spots and want to transport their kit clean, whole and compact. The suitcase construction distributes weight and pressure better than a soft boardbag and provides all around protection for twintip or directional, bar, pump and multiple kites. The exterior has a hard-wearing and water-repellent finish, with a smooth interior that won't scuff your board and fins. Internal straps hold everything tightly in place, so nothing slides if a baggage worker is a little less subtle. A full-length, sturdy zipper makes packing and unpacking easy in a parking lot or hotel room; the nose and tail are extra reinforced against bumps from treadmills and trunk edges. Thanks to its elongated "golf bag" silhouette, the bag doesn't look like sports equipment, which is nice for check-in on some airlines.
In practice, you especially notice how smoothly the Slider Wheels roll over terminals, scaffolding and parking lots. The wheel housing is kept low and stable, so the bag doesn't sway when full, and the handles are logically positioned to facilitate lifting in stairwells or on ferries. Compression straps outside pull the volume taut, so you carry less air and the bag fits more easily in a rental car. Ventilation vents help wick away moisture after a wet session; at home, you'll quickly rinse off sand and salt and the gear dries smoothly. For weekends close to home, make the case work as a day bag by using one or two compartments; for longer trips, just throw in extra lines, a shorty and your repair kit. That way you travel organized and protected, with a bag that can take a beating and makes lifting and rolling a lot lighter.
