Mac i see you problem and raise it one. I've not only got to sort out a board for me, I've got to find three others including for the kids. The wife has decided she wants to try surfing so a long board for her (That will also work for me) These board I'm going to buy local second hand. The websites are full of boards for sale..But for my short board i have started to look at getting a custom made. $375 or $400 with fins is cheap..

But my issue (which i think we are similar and is probably your issue also) do you take something your already happy with, Its a long way to not like what you get? Or do you just go for it and get it their? Im really nervous and can't decide. I don't want to not like something and ruin my trip, then you have the entire, do i take board covers, leg ropes all that?

First world problems

JB, on our last trip my son and I hired boards from Kona Board Sports one block back from the beach (september ) they had a lot of board to choose from but you need volume if your heavy like me so I found it hard and had to settle for a 10 foot popout with a **** fin,leggies are all part of the hire costs,you can swap the board free as many times as you like.As I said if your a light weight there is no shortage of hire boards its a pain for us heavy guys,

Yeah the Hellfire, i never went down the Dom road..I think ill pick them all up over there. $300 will buy me three boards for kids and wife/me..Something big for Waikiki..

The Northshore is a long way to go to be out gunned though.. as i said, first word issues.

Sadly i am traveling Jetstar as we used FF points but a question will a short board be any extra freight? Haven't checked

Well think about where your going mate... your going on a family surf trip. There's a lot of waves on the North Shore, but your not going to be surfing the big name places like pipe, rocky point, sunset etc. Doubt you'll need a gun lol...probaby better off taking each family members fave board & then renting a longboard if you have small fat waves.

& yep Crapstar hit you up for extras depending on what airfare you chose. Like extra kg's, food/drink & surfboards. Going with them really depends on your needs. Personally I like a meal, drinks & at least 20kg luggage per person. But if your happy to watch others eat/drink on say a shorter flight than to Hawaii, then they might workout ok value. I've found at the end of the day, you should only consider them at their all inclusive airfare quote & not get sucked into the initial attractiveness of their budget quote. But anyway call them & ask about boards, prices get updated. Website below may give you an idea. www.surfresortfinder.com/features/airline-surfboard-fees-and-charges/

We flow Hawaiian last trip and they were amazing,looking at this December they are 1900 full service with great board allowance v Crapstar at 1000 no service and crap board allowance.

We will be staying at a beach house on the Northshore, not much else to do but surf really

What about postage? Have anyone actually tried posting boards back and forth before hand or after Might beat having to carry extra baggage on the day.

Mick we've got a easy right point right on front of the house for family, and Chuns 5 min walk to the left of the house..Viewable from the balconyActually I'm getting excited again talking about it..

any links to this place JB?

A couple of days in Waikiki also..

Looks like a nice place JB. Hope you have a good time. I can not wait to get there one day. Hoping its one day sooner rather than later - am well overdue a work trip to the States - will remind the boss when I see him next

Im not sure what your talking about If your talking fighting, i read that too, but the truth is if you have respect than all is good, unless you f-up..
Im more worried about the theft of gear

Pretty wild up there JB, saw some many cars without glass and a few with plastic windows,we got stalked at Sunset carpark by a couple of grown men on BMX bikes.
