hi guys
i just came back from venezuela
if you want to go there mainly for surfing forget there may be something but at least in july august its not worth a surf trip
there are cheaper destinations with much better waves

Boards on Planes
Has anybody used Iberia Airlines to take a board from Caracas to Europe recently? I'd be interested to know how much you had to pay if you did. I've been told its $400, which seems a little harsh.
