Unreal
From the way it reads it looks like the kayak must be a fold up?

And go figure, its amazing, they actually have a section just for Waveski's. Must be a Waveskier who wrote the baggage rules.. heh

Idea

Call it waveski and make sure it is wrapped well and below the limit. Betting they will not check or even know.

Hope it works out for you.

Have a great trip with our friends from Loma Del mar sponsors of the US Championships, Say Hi to Bob & Freddy for me.
