British Airways bans surfboards

The British Surfing Association have launched a petition to demonstrate the strength of feeling amongst surfers that British Airways recent decision should be reversed. BA have decided not to continue carrying surfboards as well as hang gliders, windsurfing boards and sails, kayaks or canoes, pole vaults or javelins on their flights from the 6th November onwards.

 

Karen Walton, National Director, BSA, says, "If everyone who surfs could take five minutes to go online and follow our recommended action steps then we will have a real representation of the swell of support for the reversal of this absurd decision."

 

The BSA asks that supporters do their bit in the following ways:
