Default Has anyone ever tried to fly with their board??

I want to bring a Rose Bowl size board to Miggle so I can tweak in my room. Only problem is I'm flying in. Has anyone ever tried to take their board on a flight, or maybe check it in? If so how did you pull it off?

I think it would be great if you guys could pack in a few extras for us out of towners. Last year I just kind of showed up after rediscovering the hobby about 1 month before the convention and Joe was nice enough to show me some tweaking tricks on his Michigan Board. I think I went like 3-5 in the tournament.

This year I'd like to try to be a little more competitive and see if I have learned anything from the masters. LOL

I plan on buying some of the new convention bases and pro lines and see how they tweak up.
