Question Freight Costs

Hello everyone!
I have a question that conerns myself for a long time. I fly very often with different airlines for business reasons or to reach a certain vacation destination. Right now I booked a surf trip to the Maldives

Convenient booking so far but now I'm searching a flight for the trip. And this is the unconvenient part and the thing I'm searching for an answer! The point is why every airline can decide arbitrary about freight costs for surfboards? Some charge only $50 others charge $150-$200 each way. Why is there not a specified rate that counts for every airline?
I don't get it!
