How much kite gear can you fit in a Honda Fit?

Lots!





That's 3 Blade IVs, 2 Bullets, 3 stings, 3 Waroos, 1 kitebuggy+tires, 2 kiteboards, 1 ATB, a backpack, and pads. All *inside* the car and the driver/passenger area is completely free. I could probably still pack a few more kites and/or some real luggage (clothes and stuff) in there as well if I tried a little harder.

I just got this ride 2 days ago and I've been loving it ever since! And yeah, I definitely got it with kiting in mind :roll:

Here's an alternate config for 3 peeps on a kiteboarding trip:

I've also got a Yakima roof rack and a Saris Bones bike rack if I wanna haul more ppl&gear ;-)

To save even MORE space for a cramped trip we used those vacume bags for all our kites and clothes. It worked very well. :ninja:

Ahhhh.... I am sure your gear is loving more room. I am equally sure you are loving more gear to carry around. You try folding those seats away, yet?

Yeah folding them down results in them being totally flat! Unfortunately puttin the buggy in flat would take up too much room because the forks would be vertical and throw off the pile of kites.

That's where my bike rack would come in, though ;)

My nemi quiver came in those vacuum bags.. man those kites were FLAT when i got 'em :roll:

Heres a picture of our Pathfinder in Holland.

Outside: 3 Buggys and the axle for the 4th.
Inside: all my kites, 3 Beach crusier sails, mast, lawn chairs,tent, Food and water, tools, Wheels for the back buggy, the rest of buggy number 4, 5 brain buckets, folding ladder,spares, all the small stuff that everyone has, and 4 people.

It works really good but we don't have any extra room

And I thought I was doing good when I fit all my kites + buggy in the trunk of my honda accord... Very impressive guys....
