Central Coast ↔ North Coast
Central Coast surfboard transport
Surfboard transport to and from the Central Coast: Umina, Avoca, Terrigal and The Entrance. Door to door to Newcastle, Byron Bay or the Gold Coast from $70.
The Central Coast is on the M1 between Newcastle and Sydney, so boards from Umina to The Entrance join the run easily. Send a board north to the Mid North Coast, Byron or the Gold Coast, or south into Sydney and Wollongong.

Questions
Can you bring a board down from Byron to the Central Coast?
Yes. Book a southbound run with Byron as the pickup area and the Central Coast as the drop-off.
How much does it cost to send a surfboard from the Gold Coast to Sydney?
A shortboard (up to 6'10") is $70, a mid-length (6'11" to 8'0") is $80 and a longboard (8'1" and longer) is $90, door to door. The same prices apply to any trip on the coastal route between the Gold Coast and Wollongong, such as Byron Bay to Newcastle. Every extra board going to the same address is 30% off. No GST is added.
Do I need a box or a board bag?
No. We supply the board bag: every board goes into one of our board bags at pickup, then travels inside an enclosed van, secured and padded so boards don't touch each other. All you do is take the fins off.
How do I pay?
Choose at checkout: bank transfer or PayID before your run, a secure card payment link, or cash to the driver at pickup. Bank transfers are due by 5pm (Sydney time) the day before your run, using your booking reference. Uploaded lists are invoiced before the run.
What if my address is off the highway?
Addresses within 15 minutes of the Pacific Highway or M1 cost nothing extra. Further than that, it's $15 for each extra 10 km, charged separately at the pickup and drop-off ends. Sydney metro suburbs and Wollongong count as on the route.
