One time I was asked to try candy from a nice bearded fellow in a van. The candy must have been really good because I don't remember anything anything after it!

excess baggage can be pretty expensive. They wanted to charge me over $200 for my ski bag being overweight. ended up leaving a pair

She speaks the truth. Especially if the baggage is oversized, then it gets even worse. I think with Delta it's like 200-300 extra depending on where you're flying to.

I think my surfboard coast me 100 maybe even 110 each way to go from NY to CA. That was maybe 5 years ago. The last time I went out there for long enough to kick it and surf I said fuck it and just rented a board from a shop. Thought about buying a board and then selling it before I left but was only out for a few weeks.

So instead of paying the excess you're going to spend another $700 on brand new gear

Nice assumption dumbshit. He said they were pretty beat. Sounds like he was buying new stuff regardless.
So why pay more to keep a pair of shitty skis around when you could save $60 and give them away to an NS'er for fr

So much of it is luck with airlines...

I flew back from LA to London two days ago after a year at MSU and my ski bag was almost 40kg, several kilos over Virgin's 23kg,1 pair per passenger policy, I thought I was doomed but the nice lady let them on for free, I have absolutely no idea why.

Big up yourself if you're out there and you work for Virgin at LAX! I figured only a NS'er would allow a transatlantic passenger flight to be overloaded for the sake of my pon2oons
