Julia,
I am not so sure about a dry pack.... I guess if I were doing a long
haul and needed a ton of provisions I just might.
I find that running 5 miles on a board I really don't need much.
Well w/ the acception of gear wetsuit,pfd,helmet,brd and needed
safety items.
I keep my first aid kit in the auto....
Travl light and fly high over those waves...
Peace,
Ken
