Soma AirBag: Full of Hot Air?

The Soma AirBag is a $150 inflatable surfboard bag constructed with 600-denier ballistic polyester coated with polyester vinyl chloride (PVC) and 1000-denier PVC along the tail, nose and rail. Inside are individual columns of air intended to help disperse the force of some pretty intense-looking impacts.

Soma is currently sold out until the end of June, but I'm told the next iteration will boast "extra protection" including dual-density foam and side stabilizers to help maintain air pressure. Soma says the new bag will be able to withstand a 2-story drop.

As soon as they send me one, we'll find out.

This idea could have many applications. Musical instruments, scientific equipment, other delicate and cumbersome sporting goods like high-end road bikes, art objects...

Thank you for your support. If you surf and travel or if you ship surfboards you need a Soma. For those of you looking for other applications keep your eyes open in the coming months. Josh hope you are reading this.
