Travelling with Gear

I'll be heading up to Pennsylvania in a couple of weeks and was wondering what everyone's experiences were with travelling with (lots of) gear; Kite gear, wakeboardw/boots, kiteboard. I know it's WAY less to ship your board/boots ahead of time but who do you use for that and about how much did you pay?

Baggage fees for stuff like wakeboards is INSANELY expensive so any tips you all have would be great.

I've never had to fly with a board, but I bet it is crazy expensive. I'd try fed ex or UPS and ship point to point. You can use their web sites to locate a pick up point near where you are staying. I met some people this winter that did that with their snowboard gear.

I took this bag to Orlando and they didnt charge me any more. I fit all my clothes, wetsuit, and board no problem. And the bag is cheap the same bag in LF or HL would be $150.00

Yeah the golfbags seem to work most of the time. If that Gator bag does the trick; sweet deal!

it does never had a problem. make sure you wrap the board with your clothes for more insulation.
