In Response To: airline regs and my greenland paddle? (tom preska)

: I have been looking into the airline regulations on baggage for an upcoming
: trip. usually the pieces have to be 60 inches length + width + hight. and
: under 70 lbs each. They will allow up to 80 inches but it costs more. Any
: where fom $35 on up for each piece. And if you are over your baggage limit
: 2/3 bags it will cost more. It would be tight trying to get a yak to
: conform to these numbers but i am sure people have done it. The cockpit is
: the problem area i would think. You would need a 46" long cockpit
: section with a 22" beam and 12 fore deck height. To squeek by the
: 80" regs.

: I am trying to find a way to get my greenland paddle on the plane but it
: might be impossible. It is 86" already. haven't paddled w/ a
: eurostick in a while so i would rather use my greenland but unless I use a
: storm which I don't really want to do for a 8 day trip i am not going to
: be able. Has any body tried to fly with a non break down paddle? the
: outfitters reccomended not to mail it. I am at a loss.

Wrap it in a ski bag and you should be okay. Be sure to tell them it is skiis.
