Tip #1 - If you tell them it's a skateboard, you won't get charged more than normal luggage.

Tip #2 - Depending on what kind of board you have & how comfortable you are with it being bumped around a bit, I've checked my wakeskate in by itself. They slap a sticker on it & send it down the belt.

Tip #3 - Have fun in Europe dude! Where are you going?

It's actually your old excelsior board lol I don't think it will get TOO beat up if I check it in I just didn't want hella charges. And I'm going to France for 2 weeks! Week in Paris and a week in Toulouse. I heard the cable park in Toulouse is dope!

The cable in Toulouse super fun! There's a pretty big wakeskate scene there too and if you're lucky, you might bump into Léo or Clem.
