BoardSachs
BoardSachs…
Two Times ‘Standard issue Duffle’ - Grn
One Times ‘Standard Issue Belt’ - Blue
Belts for use with various holdall positions/set-up’s..
Secondary belt for securing the ‘tail safe’ in place…
Fairly straight forward idea,
- Rapping the ‘Nose’ first, and secure…
- (Secure ‘Tail-safe’ if necessary)…
- Encase board-sach configuration in the second sach..
- And rap to suit
- Attach belt to suit,
And walk on..
Tail-Safe…
A Small piece of what can only be described as inch ‘pipe lagging’..
Secured around preferred edge, be it Tail or edge or nose…
‘lash’ down with secondary belt’s to suit and store..
This enables the rider to stash their ride, with confidence, that in transit the board will survive a little more ruff handeling.. Also eases the strain on hands whilst holding, along with easing contact with rest of the body…
Both ‘sachs’ can be stored neatly and secured with a single belt.. stowed to suit with under 1kg in weight, a fairly decent solution to stowing and storing your ride with scope to travel and transit respectfully…
We've had this idea out 'in session' for some time now, with variouse setups.. yet to have a poor responce from any rider...

ZLBS-WCPK
ZLBS-WCPK
Smooth ‘Solid’ ride (Again).. It happens to be true, and the ‘Most descriptive word’ appropriate…
Only to add the ‘CPK’ has increased versatility, Particularly ‘Distance Qualities’..
Dodgy initial stride, Led to ‘easy stroll’ speed…
A ‘Snug enough Fit’ leaves the rear foot open to ‘increased play’,
Smoother transition between board and ’Tail..
Considerably ’Flush’ in comparison..
Leaves heel free to ’Swivel’…
ZLBStealth, With ‘Custom Plankail’…

It Has Been Brought To Our Attention…
It Has Been Brought To Our Attention…
That the Below Shown - ZLBP-DTEdition Idea.. ZLB - Popsickle - Drop-Through Edition.. Is no new idea… Been tried and tested by a ‘stalwart’ of silverfish Longboarding.com.. Along with his own URL..
A Mr Kraffftwork… fellow inventor, conceptual thinker… In contrast to our rather ‘Slap - Dash’ approach to drop-through.. The design seems thought-out and well executed…
Nevertheless a full seven miles has been pushed with varying success…
Turned a head or two..
Enthused the local riders ‘no end’…
...
Update..
Having Through-out the seven mile 'test period'... one thing 'stood-out'.. this were just how easy the rider found 'Catching a wheel'... Particually on the nose.. 'above pictured'.. so with that 'In Bold'.. on the report returned to the desighn house.. their 'Not so Technical' solution were to be..
Cut-out's... and large ones... To accomadate the'larger wheel' as they say... not all seen post/pre are agreed...

TheDistanceTravelingSect
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…
