Beat the system.

1. "Item not included in free allowance." means that you can check 2 bags up to 50 Lbs, and then your kayak, and then your paddle. (all separate)

2. If you are traveling international: Inform them of the $80.00 charge (most people will have to look it up) then have them check it to your final destination. (and cross your fingers because if they say no, then you will have to be own a shipping business to ship your boat to Uganda)
