Travel Bag For Three Piece Paddle
« on: January 03, 2018, 08:47:01 AM »
I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good, travel bag for a three piece paddle? I’m looking for a specific bag for a three piece paddle. The best I’ve been able to find online is from Fanatic (http://www.fanatic.com/product/3-piece-paddle-bag/) but it looks like it is only available in Europe. I’ll order from there if I need to, but was wondering if there is anything available in either Canada or the U.S. that people would recommend?

Should also say I’m not even sure if the Fanatic bag is still available. I was looking into this last year and it was available then, so I’ll need to check again to see if it’s still available now.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

I have a three piece Naish paddle in a case, maybe they will sell you a case only?
C4 Waterman might have some old stock hanging around as well.

Hi Quickbeam,
Just wanted to offer you a tip before you buy a bag. Measure the longest section of the three pieces and check that against the length of the bag. I bought the Fanatic bag off eBay here in the uk only to find that the longest section of my Red paddle was too long for it. It's a great bag and use it for my kids adjustable paddle and have a Red paddle bag for mine. The Red bag is good but the Fanatic bag is better as it has dividers inside and a chunky plastic zipper. Hope this helps!

Thanks Guys,

For the responses. And thanks supcymru for the advice on the Fanatic bag. To be honest, most of the bags I’ve seen are bigger than I want, so the size of the Fanatic shouldn’t be an issue.

I just also found one on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Black-3-Piece-Adjustable-Stand-Paddle/dp/B019Z0V82E/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1515015436&sr=8-10&keywords=Paddle+Bag+For+3-Piece+Adjustable+Stand+Up+Paddle) that I may order. It’s much cheaper than the Fanatic, and probably won’t be as nice, but looks like it may to the job. If I do order it, I’ll report back on what it’s like.

Thanks again.

I have a Quickblade bag/case for a 3-piece paddle. Very similar to the one on Amazon that you linked. I have carried it onto planes with no issues. Fits nicely in the overhead or will also fit in a large suitcase. It's the flat briefcase style. I think Frank at Vitamin Blue may have actually made it for Quickblade. I'm sure he would make you a custom one... might be worth giving him a call. http://vitaminblue.com/
