on 8/1/2006 Double board bag, the ones you see on line, two finless boards in one sock, two more finless boards in another sock, then get one of those over size socks for a long board and wedge both the smaller socks into it. Then get the duct tape out and wrap it all up to make it look like one board. Then place it into your double board bag, along with your towels and fishing rods, pillows work well for protection.
You always have to get the bag scanned before checking it in, the guys scanning the bags could care less about the number of boards you have, they're looking for terrorist stuff. Go to the counter with a claim that you have only one surfboard, or even one sailboard. If they request you to open it up, it will appear that there is only one board - one really thick one. Sounds a little bit much, but it works.
