looks like holding a board up right on the back of the pack would be abit janky. since the connection points of the straps being so far back away from where the edges of the board would be; a board would be shifting all this way and that way. it would work a lot better if you could adjust the buckles closest to the center of the pack to have a snug fit. or am i missing something. Make a pack for skis make a pack for boards. instead of 10 pack that try and do both.

This pack is more of a lifestyle board pack, not a core user pack. If you want to stabilize the board more, then you could unthread the buckle, thread it through the bottom of the buckle used for compression, and then put the buckle back on. the threading will provide a channel for the web to go through, and eliminate any kind of josteling side to side. you might want to look at an osprey, BD, or backcountry access if you are worried about load carrying abilities. Dakine makes a great lifestyle pack, but not as good of a core user product.
