Can someone please tell me what the safest way to freight a board is? Any way to guarantee it won't arrive damaged?

Also, approximate cost. (Melbourne to Sydney).

Thanks,
Harrow.

Another clown!! Ducati, are you a friend of Haircut's?

Harrow,

I've had boards shiped from the sunshine coast to Sydney - Never have they arrived damaged, - if buying from a reputable shop/site - ask them for insurance if your troubled (but generally they pack them very well)! many shops may include this in their cost. The cost has always been round the $100 mark.

most shiping companies can profetional pack your board for you. But.... the best way is to contact a sailboard shop in the city you are going to, and aske if you can get on the back of one of there shipments. Generaly a cheeper way, and those delivery guys know to treat boards with respect. I have done this with getting stuff from perthe to adelaide and vis a versa, cost was about $100 - 60 depends on volume eg how big, not Kg.
