Hey BD,

I think last year there was a container arranged by some guys on the east coast. There are also containers arriving from the East full of Surf Ski's, check the surf clubs and see what they're doing, otherwise, it will cost you a fortune and likely end in tears when the freight handlers skewer your board on the forklift tynes.

They also play forklift soccer with some SUP boxes. I hate the freight workers. We constantly see the blokes pulling a 12'6" or 14' board out of the back of their trucks by one end and allow the front of the box to drop on the ground. Usually right about where it says "FRAGILE"

A-holes!

Contact Dean Gardner who organisers the series. I think he has a container going.

Hey Justin good to hear you thinking about the doctor , let's hope it blows the right way this year
Road freight =damage try toll air express that's what DC sends his race boards from Goldie via melbourne a board around 11 kg 14 foot is about $300 may sound a bit much but when it gets here over night less people handling it . And you don't have a $100 to $200 repair it's worth it .
Dale wraps them in 10mm building insulation super light give him a call he will set you straight ,
Hear you caught up with him last week , I can pick it up for you if you go with that option
