Snowboard bags, backpacks and travel gear — everything you need to get your board and kit to the mountain and back in one piece. A quality snowboard bag is not optional when you are travelling to Japan, New Zealand or any resort that involves checked baggage. Unprotected boards in airline cargo do not survive.
Frequently Asked Questions
For any flight, yes. A quality snowboard bag is not optional when you are travelling to Japan, New Zealand or any resort that involves checked baggage, because unprotected boards in airline cargo do not survive. A non padded sleeve is fine for driving up to Buller or Hotham with the board in the car.
Size the bag to your board length plus a few centimetres. Many bags will also take two boards packed base to base if you are travelling with a quiver or sharing with a partner.
Yes, and you should. A board bag is the best place for outerwear and soft goods. Padding your board with jackets and pants protects the board and saves space in the rest of your luggage. Pay particular attention to the nose and tail, which is where impact damage happens in cargo handling.
A dedicated boot bag keeps wet boots away from the rest of your kit and usually adds room for a helmet, goggles and gloves. If you are flying, a boot bag sized to go carry-on means your boots arrive when you do, and boots are the hardest part of your setup to replace at short notice.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

Jones Howler 160W
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
