AA Destroys Pro Surfer’s Boards
Jesse Tabit April 11, 2017
Professional surfer Alex Gray took to social media recently to reveal the damage American Airlines had done to four of his surfboards on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles.
In his Instagram post, Gray said “…what stings the most is #americanairlines charged me $150 in excess fees to allow this destruction. I paid for all of this! Why is other sporting equipment free?!”
Gray went on to say that he will use his platform “in hopes of a change for once in this ongoing ‘surfboards VS airlines’ dilemma.”

A release was signed removing AA of any liability to damages that may occur. However I wonder if this still protects them from gross negligence which obviously has happened?
