hi there,im flying into p.v in jan ,can anyone tell me if its possible to send two surfboards to somewhere in pv?im arriving via canada from the uk and air charges are too much,i tried phoning u.p.s and they told me its not possible to pick up boards in mexico except private adress which i dont have.also can you tell me are there many surf shops to buy boards if i come without them,im coming for two months so rentals will prove too expensive,thankyou for any help..

believe they will be a lot more expensive as the are imported from notb
here is one from mano a mano

Tabla de surf san miguel 6,2 fish tale, leash y pad incluidos $2,500. 322 10 511-35, 322 12 083-19.
Surf board for sale fish style, light weight, $2,500. 322 13 130-96.

think they are the same with different phone numbers

thankyou,i sent an email to that surfshop to ask about prices,the board for sale for 2500 is ok price,i wonder if this is an average price for a used board? any idea how much used longboards would go for?cant decide if its worth the risk of trying to find an ideal board on arrival or pay the ridiculous 300 us to take them on plane..

You might also try contacting mail boxes, etc here in PV. They offer mail carrier services and might be able to accommodate you with a delivery address or something.
