Pro-Lite Smuggler Series Surfboard Travel Bags
Available in Shortboard and Fish/Hybrid Styles
1+1=3? Our Smuggler Series Surfboard travel bags might just save you some money on your next trip. These bags are designed for airline travel and feature a false bottom which allows you to take up to 3 boards, but only show 2. Available in shortboard and fish/hybrid templates, both styles are packing 10mm of foam to give you that extra protection your boards may need when they step in the ring with baggage handlers. A large exterior pocket with drainage allows you to easily stow boardshorts, wetsuits or towels. Sewn in Internal dividers provide the perfect separation for your boards with both a rear and nose opening for board entry. Don’t worry about salted zips on this bag; all molded non-corrosive marine grade zippers will keep the movement smooth for the life of the bag. The Smuggler series bags are the perfect option if you are taking 2-3 surfboards and you are getting charged by the board.
Molded Non-Corrosive Zippers
Our Smuggler Series surfboard travel bags all feature molded non-corrosive marine grade zippers to extend their life and movement. These bags have both a rear and nose opening for board entry. (See video below for functionality)
Padded Shoulder Strap
These bags all feature a padded shoulder strap system. With one side sewn in and the other removable with Velcro you can easily stow the strap in the external pocket for travel and be sure the baggage handlers won't lose it.
Tough Rip Stop Material
The Smuggler bags all have tough, semi water proof diamond tech rip stop material and 10mm of air-lite perforated foam to keep the weight down and the protection high. In partial view is the Velcro closure to the large external storage pocket.
Load two surfboards in the tail of the bag...

Now a little about us...
…What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been
Pro-Lite was conceived in the minds of two traveling surfers, Bill Hapgood and Dave Neilson. At the time the pair was working for a major airline and traveling the world. Soon into their travels they realized one key missing ingredient necessary to continue their journey, the need to protect their surfboards.
In 1982 Pro-Lite was born. Bill and Dave searched out industrial sewers in Costa Mesa, CA and began making a limited line of surf travel bags. This put Pro-Lite on the map as the first bag manufacturer to make travel grade surfboard bags in the United States.
As the brands reputation as a quality travel bag manufacturer grew surfers from the United States and around the world looked to Pro-Lite to provide them with the gear to get their surfboards to their destination safely. Professional surfers from around the world used Pro-Lite travel bags as they bounced around the world on tour.
Throughout the 90's Pro-Lite expanded its product offering outside of travel to include a full line of bags for day use as well as leashes, traction pads and car racks. This put Pro-Lite in a position to be the go to brand for any products used to enhance your surfing experience.
The evolution of Pro-Lite continues today with new owners in place since 2005 and a renewed energy and vision to design and manufacture functional and durable surfing accessories. Our key focus is quality and innovation. Pro-Lite is first and foremost a travel company and will continue to make products that are designed for surf and travel.

Worked perfectly for my trip to Costa Rica. Held 3 boards: one 6’8†Lost Mayhem, one 6’6†FireWire Gama, and my buddies 5’8†as well. Plenty of padding and room for towels. Pockets for fins or leashes. The 1+1=3 feature was cool. But the airline didn’t even check. Get one. You won’t be disappointed!

I like the outside pocket, and inner pocket. The construction seems OK minus the drain on the front pocket, its seam is starting to come undone (one star off for that). Also this is more like a 2 board bag if your boards are near ~3 inches thick. The "hidden" compartment is only useful if your boards are real small. The bag worked fine on a trip to central America. Cant complain, boards made it one piece.

Protection is lacking compared to a typical coffin. More like a double/triple board day bag. I returned

Needs wheels, when you have to carry that case from one terminal to another it gets super heavy and starts to totally suck.
