Travelling with a Surfboard or Bodyboard

Travelling with a Surfboard or Bodyboard

In 2009 the airline company Click who service Puerto Escondido (PXM) began charging for all surfboards or bodyboards a traveller wants to leave with. The price per board is $60USD. The check-in clerks will open your board bags and count how many boards are in the surfboard bag and multiply that quantity by $60USD. This luggage fee can be paid in cash or with the airports credit card facilities.

If you don't want to pay the oversize baggage fee you might like to sell you boards before leaving Puerto Escondido. You most likely want get the best price when selling you boards in Puerto Escondido but it might work out better not travelling with a surfboard.

Surfboards and bodyboards can easily be hired from all the surf shops that are located near all the surf breaks. Expect to pay about $100MXN per day but better rates will be offered for longer rentals.
