This is definitely your best bet unless you get lucky. Small hassle once off - then as Mac says its all good. Hope you have a good xmas over there - Whanganui has a few nice spots if the wind is favourable otherwise make sure you head north about 1.5 hrs and things get really interesting

I know it makesmore sense to take one, boards are cheaper here and alot more options, got dramas getting from wellington airport with 2 kids etc, I was hoping to get a board freighted to Wanganui and then I've got a van to use.
Don't know if I will get a chance to head to New Plymouth area, see how it goes
