It’s Santa Cruz, but it makes traveling easier/cheaper. Does anyone know of anything similar? I looked for other brands but only found bags with straps. Whenever I travel, I rather use a bag like this to get to the hotel/Airbnb and then carry a small backpack for day use (phone, wallet, portable charger, water, skate tool, hat, jacket).

I took a 5 week amtrak trip around the country this week and used a Osprey Farpoint 55. It has a detachable daybag just like what your looking for but I had to use the straps on it to hold my board. I really liked using it for the train but I dont think it would work for flying.

Can you bend the space/time continuum?

First is much better IMO. I’ve never been a fan of mixing different “blacks”. The first one is more clearly grey and black. Also is the toe rubber on the black one? I don’t like the look of that material. Will probably look even weirder from the top. 🤔

Good shoe though. I want to get the white ones but really don’t need any more shoes right now. 😊

I've got a bunch of those Reynolds G6 (pretty much every color) and for some reason the white sole versions just feel softer and more flexible out of the box. Blk/Wht, Navy/Wht, and Blk/Gry/Wht are all tops.

One Stars are comfy but pack out really fast. I'd get the Hudsons

I had a dream last night that I was wearing states.. Which is weird because I've never really considered buying any before.

Polar P9 shape deck. I like short tails and it has a 6.5" tail. Would probably work nicely with Ace 44s. Anyone got any opinions on the P9? I like decks with at least a 14.5" wheelbase and 8.38" to 8.5" wide. Ace 44s stock flush with 54 mm wheels. 🤔

These thunders are almost dead, so I’ve got this itch to buy some hollow Indy 139s, but the whole racism and long boarding thing is weighing heavily.

The axel on my 149 hollows is starting to poke through. I really want to skate ventures next but I know full well I won't like them. I like short wheelbases, but ventures just look so cool.

On paper the idea is kinda gross, and on the website they’re tacky, but I just keep thinking how dope they looked in his film.

 I’m toiling with the idea of buying them in black and in gold. I wouldn’t skate them.

Your username matches your taste, but buy State instead. If you’re going to spend time trying to buy shoes from dead companies, look for Gravis. Some kid at Berkeley Park got a couple pairs of the Wingtips for $20/each.

https://shop.surfhouse.ee/volcom-buhl-skate-backpack.html?___store=en&___from_store=en bought this a long time ago for a lot cheaper than the price listed, but this ones decent, honestly the Santa Cruz one seems better
[close]
Thanks for the suggestion, but I was wondering if there are any bags that have a compartment for a skateboard internally. Other than that Santa Cruz one, I’ve only seen external straps. Also, I’m looking for 40-50L minimum for two weeks of clothes so I don’t have to do laundry on any of my trips. That bag would be a nice day bag or for a short vacation.

not sure if you're still in the market for a bag, but i just came across this thing and thought i'd share - https://www.tactics.com/traffic-skateboards/pbp-x-traffic-convertible-backpack/black. the versatility of it seems pretty cool, but i don't know if it's gonna be big enough for two weeks of clothes.
