Can You Bring a Skateboard on a Plane?
Yes. The TSA allows skateboards in both carry-on and checked bags. The airline sets the size limits and makes the final call on whether a board flies in the cabin. Packing the board in a padded checked bag avoids a debate at the gate.
What Size Skateboard Fits in the Db Skate Duffel and Skate Carrier?
The Db Skate Duffel 65L and the Db Skate Carrier 32L both hold a complete skateboard up to 9 inches wide and 32 inches long. The Skate Duffel also has a padded sleeve for up to two spare decks. Boards longer than 32 inches, such as most longboards, will not fit.
Is the Db Skate Duffel 65L a Carry-On or a Checked Bag?
The Db Skate Duffel 65L is a checked bag. At 33.5 inches long, it is well over the 22-inch carry-on length most airlines allow. Its total size is about 56 linear inches. That is inside the 62-inch limit most US airlines set for a standard checked bag, and the duffel weighs 5.7 pounds empty.
How Do You Pack a Skateboard for a Flight?
Put the board in a padded compartment and tighten the internal strap so it cannot shift. Keep the skate tool, spare bolts and bearings in a small pouch. Some skaters remove the trucks to make the board flatter and easier to pack. Clothes packed around the board add extra padding.
Can the Db Skate Duffel Attach to a Roller Bag?
Yes. The Db Skate Duffel 65L is Hook-Up System™ compatible. It clips onto Db roller bags such as the Hugger Roller Bag Check-in, so the board and the luggage roll through the airport as one.
