I am about to pack three boards for international travel. They will be traveling as unaccompanied baggage along with six sails, two booms and three masts (yikes!) It's going to be expensive as it is so I'm keen to minimise board damage.

All the boards have bags so I was going to remove the footstraps (to make more room in the bags), wrap the boards in a few layers of bubble wrap and place them inside the bags. I'm not sure whether this will be enough to protect the rails from damage however.

Has anyone got any tips on packing boards so as to prevent damage?
