Rhino Shortboard Travel Bag (1-2 Boards)

From Pro-Lite International, a brand committed to crafting high-quality surf accessories for surfers who demand performance and durability, comes a story rooted in the passion of two traveling surfers. Since its inception in 1982, Pro-Lite has been at the forefront of surfboard bag innovation, driven by the goal of ensuring safe travels for surfboards around the world.

The Pro-Lite journey began when Bill Hapgood and Dave Neilson, working for a major airline, recognized the need for a reliable way to protect their own surfboards during their travels. With no suitable bags on the market, they set out to create their own, establishing Pro-Lite as the first manufacturer of travel-grade surfboard bags in the United States.

As the brand's reputation as a quality travel bag provider grew, surfers from across the globe turned to Pro-Lite to safeguard their gear. Professional athletes on the world tour trusted Pro-Lite's products to deliver their boards to destinations with peace of mind.

Over the years, Pro-Lite's product offering has expanded beyond travel bags, encompassing a full line of accessories, including leashes, traction pads, and car racks. This evolution has solidified Pro-Lite's position as the go-to brand for enhancing the overall surfing experience.

Today, under new ownership since 2005, Pro-Lite continues its commitment to quality and innovation. The brand's key focus remains on designing and manufacturing functional, durable, and travel-ready surfing accessories.

The Rhino Series Surfboard Travel Bags, the most popular among Pro-Lite's travel bag options, are a testament to the brand's dedication. These bags are engineered for airline travel, available in shortboard, longboard, and fish/hybrid/mid-length styles, all featuring 10mm of protective foam. Molded, non-corrosive marine-grade zippers ensure smooth movement, while a cross-ventilation system and padded shoulder straps enhance the user experience.

The Rhino Series Shortboard Bag, measuring 24 inches at the widest point, is designed to fit 1-2 boards up to around 21 inches wide, depending on thickness. For wider and thicker boards, the Fish/Hybrid Rhino Bag offers a more suitable fit.

With a 600-denier diamond-tech rip-stop poly exterior and a white heat and water-resistant tarpaulin interior lining, these bags are built to withstand the rigors of travel. The top-zip flip-top opening allows for easy board insertion and removal, while the collapsible gusset with Velcro closure ensures a custom fit when transporting a single board.

As Pro-Lite continues to evolve, the brand remains committed to its founding principles – delivering quality, functional, and durable surfing accessories that enable surfers to navigate the world with their boards safely and confidently. The Pro-Lite journey, like the sport it serves, is one of exploration, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of the perfect ride.
