The Distance Travelling Sect…
So the forecast wet stuff arrived.. And arrived with vigour.. Best part of a centimetre in around four to six hours, gave ample chance to ’test run’ once more the ZLBTravelinner series of Board (ZLBMarkWIA) - Sac (CanvasCarrier)-WaterproofHoldal (Wet-Sac)… very useful and without doubt the way to travel in those sorts of conditions…
Step one would include ’hanging’ CanvasCarrier from trucks, then re shuffling contents of ‘CCSac’ to suite..
Once flush with board, place both CCSac and board as described into the Wet-Sac.. Secure and walk on… We advise leaving enough of the Wet-Sac to grapple, and ‘hood’ over your head, resting the trucks on the lower neck/shoulders.. Having found a resting place .. Settle and your good to go…
Another ‘technique’ centred on holding both wheels on the truck buried in the base of the Wet-Sac..
Keeping forearms tight to your sides, and taking shelter under ’Wet-Sac covered board’ protruding over head..
This led to a slightly smoother pace.. But only advised once rain has ‘ petered-out’ a little… with the tendency to stand tall and look forward… minimal coverage remains…

In the Dry, the board being placed into the wet-sac, then slide down the ‘back’ of the Canvas Carrier is a preferred method of choice.. Once the clouds drop their contents.. Reshuffling Board-CanvasCarrier-Wet-Sac to suit is advised.. As previously described, with a keen eye, the rider can shelter from the majority of the rain under the ‘make-shift’ hood fashioned from the ‘rolled’ edge of the Wet-Sac..
Thus providing the rider with a dry store area for board/bag/self if ‘pulled-off’..
We walked around with his ‘make do’ hood.. for well over an hour at one stage… quickly likened the experience to wearing a waterproof jacket of sorts… usual rules apply, don’t put your arms up, keep neck warm and dry, front and back.. Try not to impair vision with ‘Hood piece’…
Wondered about quite at ease until reaching destination.. Board and CanvasCarrier were completely dry.. And the Neck/Back area faired well also…
