I sent a board from Goldy to Townsville with them and wasn't the best outcome arrived with a bit of damage even though it was bubble wrapped in a board bag an put in a box

SUPWA is sending a container across for the Nationals in October. You may be able to buy a spot in there And get someone from the NSW team to bring it back from the Nationals.

always a risk but I've used pack and send and had good results, once wa to vic, their quote was better than a couple of others I got and it arrived fine. hard part was getting the quote without knowing exact details, but they rang me when it was dropped off and confirmed the measurements and weight and price. best to go thru the drop off depot. good luck! and whoever you use, when it arrives it will be like opening your board bag after you fly with a board!!!

Hi,
Cover the board in corflute. Really light, durable and take the knocks. Typically used in real estate signage. So bubble wrap, corflute and then in a your board bag.
Cheers,
