Aerolineas Argentinas states on their website that Windsurfing Equipment "will not be accepted and will have to be sent via Aerolíneas Cargo."

However, under Aerlineas Argentinas's definition of kitesurf gear, it includes "A board, a kite, a boom, and a unique packing mast", which sounds like the definition of a windsurfer. [AMZ asins='B07WSRXMS8,3903038180,3937323228,B00JE3E028']
