    For example: Say I am going to Hawaii, I call Delta cargo book a flight for my boards arriving the same time or earlier than me. Go to Cargo part of the airport where I am departing give them a box of 6 boards going to HNL. I go check in and when I arrive in HNL I go to cargo there and pay about $100 and pick my boards up. I think this is way better than paying at least $180 or more or the lady counting your boards saying you have to pay per board they also treat your stuff a lot better and don’t seem to lose your stuff because it is tracked the whole way. I see a lot of people go this route with animals when I am there.

    For sure shipping is cheaper than flying with your boards. Just got a new Bill Johnson shipped to Costa Rica for $65. I have heard Cargo is the way to go for animals too. I have always been scared to put my dogs on a “cargo” flight. I’m sure it would be fine. 6 boards for $100 is Awesome!
    Heading to Brazil soon I guess?

    Damo / CJ,

    Have you thought about picking up some pipe insulation and putting it along the rails and throwing a couple of big industrial sized rubber bands around the board to hold them on? Will protect your board from nose to tail and provide a buffer to protect from impacts. Not sure how big of a box you would need for 6 boards – just droppin’ some knowledge. I think you can buy 6ft sections for $2 at your local home improvement store.

    dude, why haven’t I thought of that?? freakin burned last time going to hawaii $150 for two boards. went round trip, could have gotten a $300 board. jeez… i blame damo for not telling us sooner.

    Do you have to ship your boards in a box or can you use a board bag?

    Is that working over to Oz ??

  • Damo Says:

    You can do international but the airline has to fly there which Delta does fly to OZ now. I think they have to be in a box, but sometimes I just put my packed board bag in the box. The hard part is getting the cargo number that allows you to ship with the company because they say after 9/11 they have to do a back round check before they will give you a number. I use Delta because my friend has a number with his company that ships boards.

    deff think about stuff to do in competition all the time.

    pats a great surfer and dude.

    However i will never practice a move where you grab both of your rails and hang on.

    i will give it to Jordy that rodeo he did was pretty sick because he let go early and it was really quick.

    I looked at Delta’s deal. Hard to make sense of it. The dimension scales, and pdf dont make sense. The suggestion is worth it enough for me to get it figured

    thanks.

    Kill it in Brasil…

    robo you mad dog

    couldn’t keep that roll going after bells ohhhh the cruel world of competitive surfing,hey thats why we signed up.

    i’d say mayhem,gally,timmy patterson,bill j,and xanadu is worth a shot,maybe a sharp eye?

    your a bit more old school like me so i’d go with a mayhem or gally but gally won’t have time and he’s on the road with me till after j bay.

    never stop searching for that magic no matter how many good boards you have.

    peace brah

    @ROBO blame that one on florida! ever since florida messed up the president election all voting methods will be flagged rigged.

    but i imagine shady methods were used to insure a certain outcome.isn’t that the same as lobbying or giving money to a certain party/canditade.

    I think the right people made it through. Not a guy that made it that isn’t marketable and a disgustingly sick ripper, now if there is a wave for them to do something is a whole nother mess
