Anyone on here flown Fiji Airways from LAX to Nadi lately? If so how much did they end up charging you to carry one board with a total dimension of less than 109 inches (i.e. my board bags length + width + thickness = 108 inches).

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me on this. Seems like it could be total sh!t show.

I paid in advance for two coffins (one is 7'6", the other is 6'6") - cost me $330. So $165.

Alternatively, you could fly "business class" (it's first class really) and your board bag is free. The ticket will only cost an additional $6k per person. Whatabargain

I got lucky both waves and no fee, of course I has two children under 5 that were crying so they may have just taken pitty on me

I think they didn't charge me because it was counted as one of our allotted checked bags

Forecast looking solid. Days before look pretty small. Thinking of bringing the following

- 6'0 SharpEye I72
- 6'2 Ghost
- 6'6 Hess thick stepup meant for OBSF

Could switch out the Hess for a 6'2 CI Pro, but I think the days in the image above would warrant something a bit meatier?

Last time I was in Fiji I remember wanting more board a lot of the time. Surfline is calling this 6-8ft but I feel like it'll be bigger than that
