How can you bring surfboards? - I am traveling to Elbow Cay in the near future and i want to bring my own board but i have run into a problem, i cannot seem to find a way to get them there. the American Airlines planes that fly to Marsh Harbour will not take boads and fed-ex wont ship them. any suggestions???

anoyno-mouse - I lived in elbow cay and i can assure you that unless there is a hurricane spinning off the coast, august will not be epic, unless 3-4ft SE chop is your thing. The place that rents boards only rents funboards and longboards (BIC) so bring your own. Please be respectful of the locals as we do have a thriving surf scene here now, and for heavens sake get out of the water when theres a contest!
