  Joynz replied to the thread Is there a good backpack with daypack combo idea?.
  
  Bring a Sea to Summit packable day pack. Weighs only 60g (there is a slightly lighter version and slightly heavier waterproof one too, but I use this one). Packs down to the side of a couple of small eggs. Holds 20 litres.

  I would definitely encourage him to give it a go. He can always carry it or post it ahead if he wants.

  Anyone who thinks negatives re seeing a skateboarder on Camino seriously lacks joy. It would be a really fun thing to see and a good conversation to have with that young man. Though - skateboards have really small wheels so I think that it would...

  You might want to tell him about Ivar's storage service, in case he decides to ship the skateboard ahead for pickup in Santiago.

  @BPG2017, I'm another 'go for it' vote. If your son is already using a board for transport then he knows it's possibilities and its limitations. He's also going to be well aware of how to ride around/near pedestrians without inconveniencing...

  Why would you stop him if he's old enough to go and do this on his own? Of course, you can tell him what he might encounter (lots of setts and crazy drivers on the Portuguese route, lots of sandy stony trails on the Frances, other kids on...

  I think you should encourage this intrepid young man. Perhaps, once he has skate-boarded the Camino he would consider canoeing the Darb El Arba'īn (the 40 days road) from Darfur to the Nile, swimming the Great Sand Sea and even seeking out the...

  I agree with @henrythedog that he’ll be carrying it virtually all of the way. However, I, too, would encourage him to bring it as he could ride it around towns and villages at the end of each walking day. I’m sure he’ll meet a number of other...

  Your biggest daily expense, which will come as no surprise, will be your nightly accommodations. As you’ll be looking at private rooms, your expense will be significantly more than a charge for a bed in an albergue municipal or private. Prices...
