Press release:
April 21st Ventura CA. Pro-Lite Int. has been leading the charge in innovation in surf accessories and especially surf travel bags for the past 33 years. Once again Pro-Lite introduces a first to market technology designed to “Smuggle” that extra board past security, in order to avoid those hefty additional board charges. The Smuggler Bags Patent Pending design allows the traveling surfer to carry three boards, while only showing two when checked from either the rear loading or front loading compartments. “It’s something you really need to see to grasp how great the design and functionality of the bag is. The way Micah laid out the design really makes the aesthetic of the bag work, and hides the false compartment from either angle” said Marketing Director Mike Hendo.
“This bag was designed with the average surf traveler in mind. I normally travel with 2-3 boards and was constantly being asked ‘How many boards are you traveling with?’ by the airline, and then getting dinged for an extra board charge when I lie and say ‘two.’ They always open up the bag to find there is three. The third board can cost up to $150 on top of what you’re already paying! That is what got me thinking about designing this bag, and Timmy was the perfect guy to bounce ideas off of” said Pro-Lite VP Micah Bundy.
“The bag pays for itself the first time you get one past the goalie.” Said Timmy Reyes, “I’m pretty stoked to have my name attached to such a functional bag, that after all these years of traveling and paying access board fees, I can finally level the playing field!”
The Smuggler Bag is hitting surf retailers now, and available in 6’0, 6’3, and 6’6”. For additional information please go to prolite.com. Check out the Smuggler Video at https://vimeo.com/123252879
