you gotta make a choice first,

do you want everything crammed into one huge rolling deceiving camo heavy weight lifters bag,

or

do you want a few 2-3 small light weight bags???

I've tried both; I prefer to split the load.

In that case I put kites and misc into army duffel bags or equivalents
and put boards into tiny rectangular dakine bags , I never get charged but the last time I traveled was july and the game is changed

I am sure you'll get charged no matter what now....
