John, I used to provide board and bike transport when I had a big van as I have a rural property Byron Hinterland and travel between Sydney and Northern Rivers approximately every 6 weeks. I'm coming back to Sydney just before Australia Day and could put on my roof rack if you get stuck Try here perhaps ? Roof Space Australia FB group ??

NathanG said.. don't use Aramex /Fastway Couriers... new board from Qld shop turned up at my house in Sydney with 2 dings in the tail and one smashed up nose
Some couriers won't even transport "surfboards" so if you must, describe contents as summink else. I think I used "foilboard" last time and it was accepted
