They state that Sporting equipment which does not carry a service charge can be substituted.

This could easily be read as 'you can substitute your tennis racquet for free baggage, but bikes and surfboards have a service charge (not an oversize charge).
In the old days (few years back), golfclubs were really the only large toys they considered checked-baggage. YMMV
Hmmm. You could be right, though when I read it I just equated service fee to oversize fee. Who knows. Like I said, I'll have to give them a call before I buy my ticket
Maybe I'll ship it. I'm gonna be out there roughly a month so it could be worth it.
