Surfers are some of the most traveled people in the world. Pioneering
and exploring remote parts of the world to find that beautiful gem of a
wave. These airlines would not even be making money from a lot of prime
destinations if it hadn't been for surfers, places like Bali, Costa
Rica, Central America, The Maldives, Sri Lanka and many remote
destinations in Indonesia just for starters.
What is shameful and discriminatory is that most airlines have
imposed fees for the handling of a surfboard. Some airlines have banned
surfboards altogether! And they do this while other sporting equipment
travel for free.
Delta has upped the anti by imposing the single largest fee compared to
all airlines except for those carriers that have banned us surfers from
flying with them, namely British Airways and Bahamas Air.
Below is a link to a petition to speak out against ALL airline carriers
that have banned surfboards altogether and those airlines that charge
surfers exorbitant fees for no benefit. Often when charged for boards
to fly, the insult to injury is they will most often arrive damaged.
Please sign the petition below and voice your comments and let the
airlines know we will not stand for outright discrimination.

We also would like to take the opportunity to express thanks & show
support to the airlines that do not discriminate against surfers. They
are: Qantas, Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, South African
Airlines, TACA and Virgin Atlantic.
Any company can support this cause by emailing us your logo to be
pasted on the main http://www.surfers-against-airline-fees.com page with a
