my heli pro circa 2005 can barely fit my brigades which are 119 in the tail. the tail dimension is the one you should be thinking about. not the waist.

I have the dakine pro II and its a bit of a struggle to get my SFBs in, but they fit if you go one at a time.  They are 139 at the tails, and that is the only dimension you need.  Not sure if your sticks will work.  Good luck though

I have a Dakine Heli Pro II. I also have Hellbents, and they fit fine.  i know theyre not 130, only 122, but theyre close.  also, you can put one in first, then slide the other in, that way theres more room.  i dont have to do that with the bents tho.
