BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
I have heard that it can be trouble taking boards to new zealand, anyone got any information on this or have taken boards across to new zealand lately
no, Im not a surfer, Im just a garbage man".
Re: BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
No problems I know of, took a mal and a shorty to Noosa in March from Auckland and took boards to Fiji from Auckland in April. Flew Air NZ to Noosa and Qantas/Air Pacific to Fiji.
Re: BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
Air New Zealand is sweet boards can go as sporting equipment like golf bags etc, just read the baggage notes on the website. Tells all, only one current issue, checking wetsuits for the abalone virus so have your wetsuit dry as ( less weight too)
Enjoy, some great breaks across the ditch.

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

Hey Digger, I'll be taking a couple over in September, although that's probably a little late to give you info about how it goes.
When are you heading over?

Re: BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
I never have any problems when I head back to NZ and I normally take at least 2 boards. I did get stung by crapstar at Christmas for being over my luggage allowance but it was to do with total baggage weight - not my boards per se. If you fly with Qantas or Air NZ you should be fine.

Yeah, will do mate.
Re: BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
Hey Mate,
I only took one board- my QF over. I went with Air NZ and they were happy with it being one of the specified pieces of luggage (it did have to go into oversize though).
Customs NZ asked about the wettie (make sure it is dry) but other than that it was cool.
All in all a fairly painless experience (as long as you are under weight I don't think they give a shitte).
I caught some good Raglan - check it out, a view from the back yard of where I stayed...

Don't fly by Jetstar
Unless your board is under 6'4"

Re: BOARDS TO NEW ZEALAND
Yeah the wetty check is about the abalone virus that is on the south coast of OZ . Make sure your wetsuit and any rubber water stuff is dry and cleanQuangers wrote:Hey Mate,
