KLM will accept your kitesurf equipment for transportation as checked baggage in most cases. Be sure to note that a special fee applies and it may get expensive if flying to/from Canada, the US, or Mexico
Kitesurf equipment may consist of a board and a kite bag and must be packed in 1 package, preferably in a kite bag. [AMZ asins='B01BN1W5G6,B01465RK8E,B00NIYJF6U,B003EBV7XG']
