Oceansource note: We’re not sure on this airline’s policy here, but we’ve contacted them to clarify and will update as soon as they get back to us…[We've got an answer and they don't seem to know what windsurf or kitesurf boards are, so you may get away with calling it a surfboard, or you might get charged the full excess baggage rate, we're pushing for a final answer, but they're being strangely stubborn!]
