the price varies depending on the airline you're flying on. give them a call to found out how much it'll cost.

Pretty sure that Air NZ fly them free within your allowance, as do Garuda.

Just wrap it up well, Indonesian baggage handlers aren't gentle on boards.

did you say longboard? Don't think they permit you take a board that long on a plane... make sure you buy a properly cushioned boardbag for it.
