10 Over Surf Shop Blog

Planning a surf trip from the UK with your longboard? Most airlines say they take surfboards - but the fine print tells another story. Longboards often exceed standard baggage limits, leaving many surfers blindsided by oversize fees or outright refusals at check-in.

At 10 Over Surf Shop, we’ve done the research for you. This guide breaks down which UK airlines truly accept longboard surfboards, their maximum length and weight limits, sports baggage fees, and the best surf destinations they fly to- from Morocco’s Taghazout to Fuerteventura’s reef breaks.

At Surf Sistas, we use video analysis as a powerful coaching tool to help women improve their surfing. Watching yourself surf - though often uncomfortable, helps bridge the gap between how surfing feels and what’s actually happening. It reveals technical mistakes, improves wave reading, and boosts your ability to visualize and refine movements. Included in all our courses, video feedback accelerates progress and builds real surf confidence.
