Anyone shipped a kayak from the US to another country, and can recommend a shipper? About what did it cost? I'm interested in shipping my fiberglass Gulfstream from Virginia to where I'm stationed in northern Japan. Any info/leads you can provide will be most helpful!

Hi Robert, We have been shipping our kayaks from Mexico to the USA, both Florida and Texas using Roadway. www.roadway.com We have gotten good discount price. I don´t know if they have a correspondence for overseas shipment. First we used a wooden cradle. Wooden craddles don´t work because when the box bends the kayak serves a support and it should be the other way around. Right now we are wrapping them with lots of air bubble plastic. Today we are shipping 3 "CanCun" tandems (21.5 feet long and 26 " wide) and one single "Performa" (16.4 feet and 23.5"wide) using a Rodway bus form our city Querétaro (Mexico) to Fort Lauderdale Fl. (USA). They are committed and if something goes wrong, the take care of expenses. Good luck Rafael el cayuco chief www.mayanseas.com At 04:11 a.m. 20/04/02 +0900, Robert Woodard wrote: >Anyone shipped a kayak from the US to another country, and can recommend >a shipper?
