train36 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Do you take your bindings off your board before packing it into your bag and flying with it? I have only been out west once and I think I took my bindings off my board, put them back in the box and stuffed them in my board bag with everything else. Does in matter if I keep them on or should I take them off again? I think I was worried about a bunch of stuff laying on top of them and messing them up somehow. It would probably be easier keeping them on b/c we get in late Friday and are riding early Saturday, but it doesn't take that long to setup a board. Just wondering what everyone else does. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 i have always known people to just leave them on, and fold them down so they dont get messed up. i've seen people wrap towels and stuff around them too. i guess its just up to you though. Quote
Dan- Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Binders stay on. I have a padded bag, but i also take about 6-7 towels and wrap the edges and stuff. Haven't had a problem yet. Quote
train36 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks , i will save some room if I keep them on and thats a good idea to wrap the edges. Quote
Justin Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Just remember to put your boots in your carry on bag. That way if they lose your stuff you can at least demo a board. Quote
Dan- Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) THe only way to fly. Uh, not if your boots are going with your board. Big mistake there like justin said. But hard cases are nice though. Edited February 21, 2008 by Dan- Quote
Boarder1x9 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 i just pack my jacket and pants around my board Quote
Papasteeze Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Remember..the airlines are not responsible for any damage to your skis/boards if it's in a soft/padded bag..I'm think of getting a hard plastic ski-bag for that reason..because the baggage handlers are so freaking rough with ski bags. You won't regret it. We have had ours for 7 years now, so cool to see them stickered up from all the differnt places, nips taking them to summer camp. etc etc etc plus they make for a great hamper in hotel rooms during the week you are vacationing.

GNU_rider Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Well I tell customers to wrap their nose and tail with their pants and jacket so they can't get a delam or some sort of damage, but I know what's coming what if my board bag get's jacket I'm out a board, jacket and pants. This is a risk I also recommend putting your boots in there either in between or on either side of your bindings so you don't end up with a shattered high back or anything, again same theft issue but you're taking the risk of flying with your board you might as well make sure it's safe if you don't have a hard case.

romemadman Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 dont put snowpants or jacket in there cuz if those get lost on the way there, then there goes ur jacket and pants, pack other clother around it Quote
Dan- Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Just use towels... Why risk loosing other gear? Quote
