Bit of a silly question but: what's the best way to put two boards in a (soft) board bag? Base to base or stacked, clothes between them or not? I've never bothered to take more than one board before but given I've got them I may as well this time.
On the plus side theres only fours days to go and I've not even started packing which for me is a minor miracle.

Did this at Christmas, no problem, just put a heavy plastic sheet in between the boards, larger at the bottom, shorter on top, longer board did not have a stomp pad, base to top sheet - too late for me already started packing....

I take all the bindings off, put the biggest board in its plastic sleeve that it came in, and then simply stack the smallest one on top of it, base to top, I pad out any gaps or differences in shape (tail and tip) with socks or thermals etc. so the boards can not bend against eachother and they act 'as one'. Also generally pack out the ends and edges so the do not get bashed to much in transit.
God this is getting worse than the skiers Equipment section

Only 2 boards?
Took 3 last month, used a long strip of cardboard in between 2 and then my board trousers for the other. Packed it out with board boots and it all arrived intact.
Then a nonchalant wander through customs with 500quid of extra gear onboard.
Obviously take the bindings off!

Out of interest whilst I'm sat here at my desk, how much (roughly) does a snowboard minus the binding weigh in KG's?
I'm booked onto an easyJet flight this weekend with snowboard allowance & we were planning on chucking 3 boards into the one bag, as we have done previously when we've flown. Problem is I've just noticed on their site that there's a 12kg maximum allowance on sports baggage. That doesn't sound like much for 3 snowboards...
Knowing how anal easyJet can be, do you recon it'll be a problem?

my last trip with Easyjet all I took was a hand luggage bag and my board bag (£15 each eay) and no other paid baggage, so it meant i had 20 kg hold allowance (even though i had no bag the allowance still stands) and 12 kg board bag allowance, so 32 kg could have been stuffed in to my board bag
BTW a wheelie bag is about 3.5 kg in weight

just lob them in the bloody bag.. any micro damage will make no difference to how it rides and you will do more damage to the thing leaving it locked out side some packed bar when pissed people knock it over..

Lizzard, you can't join in this debate - you're on the doorstep and only need a bag for your onions
