It's so difficult to know which Best airlinewill be best for surfboards? Don't forget that everyone has their own taste. One simple example: I prefer mine to be thicker and medium cooked, others prefer them thinner and 'blue' (very rare).

Nowadays, I find the airlines are all trying to get the surfboard pax and making ridiculous claims as to which can serve the best board. But we are just so excited at the idea of having a board at FL390 that we forget how difficult it is to serve one properly at altitude. The last time I tried one, I just found it too irritating to have the hyped up young chef zooming up and down the aisles on his skate board to see if we liked our surfboards. I said to him, why don't you just serve a nice bit of skate, with a subtle sauce?

I know that Airbus keep saying how there will be room on the A380 for a special surfboard lounge but, frankly, we have heard that one before.

Really, is that time?? Well, I will have just one more before I go ...
