Your best bet is to find someone with a Direct freight account and see if they will help you out!! From what i have seen they are the best at getting them there in one piece. Maybe go and see one of the local shops but please if someone does help you out and your board gets damaged dont blame the guy who helped you out!!

Cheers Jacko

Maybe talk to Dale Chapman, I know he has sent a lot of boards from Brisbane to Perth so he might know who best to send them with, or talk to the guys at Auswind who distribute Starboard to the East Coast from WA.

Really! It's normally about that much to send 1 sup board from Goldie to Sydney.

I've never seen anything that cheap to or from perth to the east coast.

Freight was by road - took a week, but turned up in very good nick. As a comparison, I got a quote from Melb to Portland for another board (4hrs by road) - $235!

I think you need to be an account holder though?

dale has being air freighting them to us we worked out the least amount of people touching them the better and for the little amount extra in cost it is nothing as to getting a board trashed .

just example my 8/0 x28 was $165 my 14dw $340 out of the Goldie by toll express
and the 16 flat water was $420 by Australian air express from Brisbane .
they don't take any thing longer than 14 from Goldie ,
it is on weight so light highdesity foam is the go and some pool noodles
good luck

Jacko and Ali Cat have it right, Auswind/Airbourne use direct freight. Pretty good prices too.

Give Damo a call over there they got some nice SB stuff too...
