Are we in a parallel universe? That is my point exactly. He had one bag. It had two surfboards. He was asked to pay for two.

Lets say he has one oversized bag, weighs 25kg and contains 1 surfboard and a load of diving gear he pays an extra fee of $100.

If on the other hand he had:

One oversized bag, weighs 22kg and contains 2 surfboards, he pays extra fees of $200.

So for the same size bag, he pays extra fees of $200, and in my scenario it weighs less. It is just price gouging and unjustified.
