\"\"<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Airlines is one of the most expensive and strictest airlines when it comes to traveling with surfboards. \u00a0There’s been complaints for decades and traveling surfers try to avoid flying on Hawaiian by all means. \u00a0But just recently, they declined a Hawaiian pro surfer from checking in his surfboards because it was a couple pounds overweight. \u00a0That surfer complained on social media and it went viral.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Until now, they allow 50 pounds for one bag which cost $150. \u00a0If your bag is 51 pounds, they won’t let you check it in. \u00a0That’s why I weight my board bag 10x before I head to the airport because if it’s 1 pound over, it isn’t flying with you no matter what.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that viral post from Billy Kemper must have worked because Hawaiian Airlines all of a sudden changed their international surfboard fees. \u00a0Instead of $150 each way, they lowered it to $75 each way. \u00a0They also cut back on their strict rules to allow oversized boards to be checked in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And now flying from Japan to Hawaii, a surfboard bag will cost only 11,000 yen. \u00a0You can fill a bag up with as many boards as you want but it has to be 50lbs or less. \u00a0Thank you Hawaiian Airlines! \u00a0Opps, I mean thank you Billy Kemper!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
