|
|
im flying out to AZ in early march and i was just curious if anybody has traveled with a skate, whats the best way to go about it?
i want to carry it on, but i think its too big.
i dont want to check it because it could get lost.
shipping it UPS, FedEx, etc a week in advance is also an option.
any ideas or info is appreciated bitches. |

When I went down to florida I just put my skate in a board bag and the flight attendents where cool with it in the overhead storage. |

just get on the plane asap so you can make sure to get in one of those overhead compartments. |

I shipped it UPS when I went from KS to FL last feb so I could rock my skate at OWC. _________________ Fake it till you make it.

i checked it. no bag, just gave it to them at the counter and they slapped the stickers straight on the bottom of the deck.
when it came out on the baggage claim i hopped on and rode it |

TWG: that would be ideal
yookyle: i would highly prefer to carry it on because lots of people would die if my wakeskate got damaged/lost/misplaced ... im flyin into tucson march 4th & ill be at lake apache with some family & friends march 6-9
TYLER**: i dont want stickers or dirty little baggage handler fingers on my deck!
btw my flight is on delta/nw airlines if that makes a difference. the specs on their website for carry ons are kinda confusing. |

I hope it isn't any different on international flights! I need to get mine to the UK with me when I go, but I don't want to have to pay an a$$load of money to do it. |

if you check it, when they ask what it is tell them it's a boogie board. don't say wakeboard or wakeskate. eliminates extra $$ charges |

I've seen people carry on skateboards so wakeskates probably won't be a big deal. |

I always check it in a board bag and try to pack it so it doesn't break! |
