How to travel with big fins?
permalink
hello everyone...

Im going to spain this monday and i have a little problem...

My fins don't fit in my suitcase ( is this the right word ?)
I have a pair of Gara 3000 LD and those are like 90+cm...

Does anyone have advise on how to travel with big fins?
I'm taking an airplane by the way..

thanks,

dioni

The garas are pretty tough, put them in a case and check them. If you have to make a case, two pieces of styrofoam or thin plywood, taped together will work fine.

Sometimes I take by blades out and hand carry them. Never had a problem, but I'm not sure it would work for the complete fins.

I got a freediving bag off of Amazon.com that fit my garas. Backpack strap and all if you want to use it as a carry on.
