Question for Eagle ATR guys out of MIA
 
Any Eagle ATR drivers know if a 10' longboard will fit in the cargo compartment? Any issues checking one on my way out to Marsh Harbour from Miami next week? I routinely check it as a jumpseater on mainline flights but haven't tried on you guys yet. Thanks in advance and hope I can return the favor!

Go for it, the ATR has room for it!

just make sure its not the ERJ, either way it will still fit checked, but it might get broken in the erj.

It's an ATR for sure- thanks! They don't take the ERJs out to the out islands. And I'll be sure to pack some extra bubble wrap ;).

Depending upon the month they do take the EMBs out to some but in this case it is an ATR.

Headed to Surfer's Beach? Hope Town? glad to see there's other surfers on this forum besides me

Hopetown. Magicseaweed looks pretty good late in the week; early am sessions before the wind shifts. Taking my own toys and my own woman-- the only way to go in the Bahamas!

Nice best of luck. Last solid surf I scored was 2 months ago in NY. Water temp: 37 degrees....

dont assume its an ATR, are you going in the next 2 weeks, otherwise be ready for it being an ERJ. We are doing Freeport with the EMJ, that was sched a few weeks ago to be an ATR. Slowly destination by destination, each month, they will switch to the EMJ.

Just in Hope Town last week. Make sure you can jump seat international on Eagle. I use Silver Airways all the time now cuz I heard we dont have an international agreement with AA.

I surfed in town by the graveyard a little while back and it was great! Otherwise, Garbanzo all the time...
