Hey Ben just one quick question on that since you mentioned Qatar. Their homepage states that the surfboard can only be transported if it is not more than 300cm in Length + Width + Hight. As a 9,6 would be already almost 293 in length and 23“ would be about 53cm in width the dimensions would not fit their criteria. But nevertheless just like you said I read often from different people that Qatar tool their boards without problem. Have you flown recently with them and can confirm?

My issue right now is that we fly from Jakarta to Europe in May and I could bring my board from NZ to Batukaras where we go back to and planned on taking it back home from there. But I am afraid to end up at the airport in Jakarta with my board and Qatar not tanking it with reference to the rules on their webpage 🙁
