Eastern Airlines does not specifically mention Surfboards as a sporting equipment item in their policies, however surfboards fit within their standard checked baggage policies.

Eastern Airlines's standard baggage weight allowance of 32 kg / 70 lbs is more than enough for a standard board bag with a couple of boards, so you are unlikely to incur any overweight fees. [AMZ asins='B00HTA1Z6C,B00GGPK0V2,B00NIYJF6U,B0053TGSK4']

The 80 inch / 203 cm linear dimensions limit will fit a boogie board/skim board, but most surfboards will exceed that limit - an oversize fee for items up to 115 inches / 292 cm will cost you $100 USD, and most board bags for standard surfboard/shortboards fit within that limit. Keep in mind that these are LINEAR DIMENSIONS (L+W+H), meaning that longboards will generally not fit within the 292cm/115 inch limit, so a 9' longboard will not fit within the limit.
