Info & Price
Portugal 2026 - board transport
I'm driving a van from Czech Republic to the Algarve for OWAT (Sep 23–30 - I'm not joining the tour, but I'll be there with the boards in time for the start) and OWAR (Oct 2–5). Around Oct 7 I point the van back home.
As I mentioned to most of you in person, I planned (and budgeted for) Scotland and Denmark as my main trips this year, and at the beginning of the year I was ready to skip Portugal. But I've seen a lot of demand for board transport across the events, and I also seem to be qualifying for the finals - so I decided to try to squeeze in Portugal too. Hence the form.
The numbers: I need to lock in ideally 25 boards to cover the majority of the fuel cost. 20 boards is roughly my breaking point for driving vs flying; 30 boards would be ideal and would cover the travel costs.
Price
45 € one-way per board + bag. Round trip is simply 2 × 45 €.
To make this trip happen at all, the boards need to cover most of its cost - that's what the price is based on. If there's enough demand, I'll lower the price.
Confirmations & payment
Please submit the form as soon as you can - expect confirmations around Aug 25.
Payment happens within the first week after confirmations - online, in advance, via Revolut, PayPal, or bank transfer.
How to pack
I strongly prefer Onewheels without a box - bare boards puzzle together tightly, and that's what makes room for everyone's gear:
Each board can be accompanied by one closed bag (optional) with your riding gear - helmet, pads, charger, clothing.
- Please keep your battery at 50% or less.
- If possible, disconnect the battery.
- Deflate the tire for better stacking - a tire pump will be available when your board is delivered.
- Ideally mark your board with paper tape, a sharpie, and your name.
Borders
I'll be crossing several borders on the way there and back. Nothing in the bag that could cause trouble, please. :) Geotrackers (AirTag and friends) are welcome, though.
