Discover the design journey behind the new Saga and Elevate boardbags, where craftsmanship, innovation, and advanced materials come together to provide your gear with ultimate protection.
The thrill of chasing the wind, scouting the perfect spot, and gearing up for your next adventure never gets old. Whether you're heading to Tarifa, Cape Town, or Brazil, your gear needs to travel safe, secure, and hassle-free.
With smart design features, durable materials, and lightweight efficiency, the new Mystic boardbags are built to keep up with every session, wherever it takes you. That’s where the Saga and Elevate boardbags come in.
Designed by riders, for riders, these boardbags are more than just travel gear, they’re built to make every trip effortless. No more struggling through airports, hauling heavy bags across beaches, or worrying about damaged boards. With the right bag, you can focus on the ride, not the logistics.
But what really went into designing the ultimate travel boardbags for kitesurfers, surfers, and adventurers? Let’s dive into the vision, innovation, and craftsmanship behind the Saga and Elevate boardbags.
Kiting, surfing, foiling, windsurfing, whatever fuels your stoke, your gear is your lifeline. But let’s be real: boards, foils, and rigs aren’t exactly unbreakable. One rough baggage handler or bumpy ride, and your setup could be damaged before you even hit the water. That’s why we created the Saga and Elevate boardbags, a no-compromise solution for every watersport traveler.

A boardbag for Every Type of Rider
At Mystic, we know that traveling with gear can be a struggle. So, our design team set out to create two New boardbags with distinct strengths:
- Saga boardbag – Maximum durability, reinforced materials, and extra room for all your gear. (Kite, surf, foil and windsurf rig)
- Elevate boardbag – Ultralight performance with a skeleton support system for structure without excess weight. (Kite)
Both are designed with the same goal in mind: to offer ultimate gear protection, smart travel features, and effortless mobility. Below is a detailed comparison to help you understand the unique strengths of each boardbag:
One of the biggest design challenges? Creating a boardbag that’s not just protective, but also comfortable to carry.
From long walks through airports to hauling gear over rough terrain, comfort matters. That’s why the team spent countless iterations refining the comfort carry handles, ensuring they feel soft, secure, and ergonomic, even with a fully loaded bag.
"We tested countless variations to create the perfect handle, one that feels soft in your hand while still offering a solid grip. In the end, we found the ideal balance between comfort and durability." — Joost, Technical Product Designer at Mystic
The result? A handle that reduces pressure on your hands, making transport easier than ever.

A boardbag should do more than just carry your gear, it should protect, support, and adapt to the way you travel. That’s why the Elevate Boardbag and Saga Surf XL each bring their own new innovations to the table.
ELEVATE BOARDBAG
For the Elevate Boardbag, the focus was on strength without the weight. The Elevate Boardbag features a removable Skeleton System, a lightweight frame that provides structure and prevents bending, while staying ultra-packable. Need more space? Simply fold it down for compact storage.
SAGA SURF XL
For the Saga Surf XL, impact protection was key. It features reinforced impact shield panels, designed to absorb pressure and protect your board from dents and dings. Strategically placed hardshell plates inside these panels resist bigger impacts, these panels help safeguard your gear.
These details make the difference between a standard boardbag and one designed for serious travelers.
- Mystic Wheel System – 3D-designed wheels for smooth rolling and better durability.
- Roll-up storage system – Compact storage when not in use.
- Transparent inside pockets – Never lose spare parts again.
- Compression straps – Reduce bulk and keep gear locked in place.
A boardbag isn’t just about protection, it’s about ensuring your gear travels sustainably. That’s why we’ve designed our boardbags with eco-consciousness in mind, balancing durability with environmental responsibility.
A reliable boardbag makes all the difference when traveling with your gear. Whether you need maximum durability (Saga) or ultralight efficiency (Elevate), this collection is designed to make every trip easier.
