Thank you for responding!jumptheshark wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 3:08 pmFor many, it would be really really really undesirable to kite with their pump strapped to their back.
Anyone who goes through the effort of returning their pump to their car before launching can just as easily return any other belonging to the car so that they leave nothing on the beach when they go ride. Small water proof bags for keys or phones have been around for a long time now.
I bring my key with me, and leave nothing at the launch when I ride. I am free to come in anywhere and make my way directly to the car without needing to return to the spot I launched from before hand.
In your case, the additional waterproof compartment would not be necessary. However, using this concept can save a lot of energy when you have a downwinder and want to walk back to your starting point. You could just unfold the bag, put your board in it and walk all the way back. Then you just take your board out, attach the bag on your back and done. One specific situation when this bag is desired is when there is a really strong wind. When you want to walk back to your staring position it is desired to control our kite with two hands. In the current situation, this is not possible because your have to carry your board with one hand. Using the new bag, this is possible because your carry your board with your shoulder.
What do you think about this? Could it be useful?
