Heading over to Mauritius from Perth and hoping to take 8'5 sup. I was wondering if anybody has taken sups on Air Mauritius and whether there were any dramas. The airline is saying nothing over 2mt in length but then say windsurfers are allowed for $30? I guess it will be a matter of turning up at the airport and hoping for the best.
Where did you find out about windsurfers being allowed? I found this which to me says you can bring items over 200cm but you will be charged $200 USD
"Sports equipment that does not exceed
200cm in dimension (Length + Width + Height) may be included in your baggage allowance.
On non-European routes (excluding Rodrigues), if the total weight of the baggage, including sports equipment, exceeds the normal allowance, a fee per one-way trip will be charged for each set of equipment within a 20 kg limit as follows:
South Africa/Reunion/Antananarivo routes - EUR 20
Other routes (excluding Europe and Rodrigues) - EUR 40
Please note that a fee per piece of USD 200 (departing from non-European destinations) and EUR 200 (departing from European destinations) will be charged for any sports equipment exceeding 200 cm in dimension (Length + Width + Height). These fees also apply to diving bottles and hunting trophies which cannot be included in the baggage allowance."

Edit: Yup looks like you can take a SUP but it will cost you $200 USD
