Cool D-Surf Board Bag
Check out this board bag my bro-in-law Trusty Dusty brought in today, it’s awesome.
It zips up clean with two boards but if you want to take that third board it expands. Now you don’t have to use a big coffin board bag for just three boards. Nifty.
Inner board dividing pad.
This velcro flap folds back to reveal,
…a handy fin pocket! *GASP*

May 9, 2008sorry! yes the bags are made in china.
We could make them here but you would not have enough money for a surf trip after buying a bag that was made here in the U.S.A.
BTW all major brands of bags are made over seas.

May 12, 2008What about making them in a more democratic country that doesn’t have human rights violations?

May 16, 2008Buying China-made products feels really bad to me because of China’s environmental policies, their product-safety disasters (in toys, food, even medicine), their anti-democratic & totalitarian policies at home, their persecution of Tibet, and many other issues. Plus, they are the major creditor of the United States economy–they own our butts–and who knows what will happen when that turkey comes home to roost?
To be fair and balanced (!), though, if you want to have a product made cheaply, and keep the retail price low, you have to go offshore. Yes, there are other countries that don’t have so many black marks on their record as China does. But I’m not so sure that a worker in Guatemala or Cambodia is necessarily treated any better than a worker in China. It would take quite a bit of work and research to find the most humane, most democratic, most environmentally sound setting in which to get manufacturing done. Maybe DS has done that research, and chosen China. Maybe they never gave it any thought. I can’t answer for that.
One comment I feel compelled to make is that when I needed a board bag, I called/emailed DS and I never got any answer. So their customer service was non-existent, at least at that time (November 2007). I ended up calling Patagonia in Cardiff, and they very politely answered all my questions and sold me the right DS bag for my needs.
