hi Rick,
AA website says that golf bags are still free but when i called to check my options for an upcoming ventana, baja trip, the CS rep said $45 each way. RE: army duffle bag, that would probably work as they are normally 24 x 36 which is the size of my biggest duffle but as most boards are around 130, have no idea how Paul fits a board into it! Best bet is to check the airline as they are all scrambling for every bit or revenue they can get.
The good news is that kiteboards/wakeboards/surfboards under 62 TOTAL linear inches and 50 lbs are now free. Again, it will depend on counterperson you get as even my old EH 118 x 34 board would not meet the requirements. However, my boyfriend uses a burton wakeboard bag for his Naish thorn board and throws in kites/accessories up to 50lbs and has never had a problem.
