26/10/2007:// The governing body of surfing in the UK is putting pressure on British Airways to reconsider its ban on carrying surboards on its aircraft.
The British Surfing Association has started a petition to lobby BA to represent the needs of thousands of surfers the organisation says are shocked by the decision.
The organisation is also urging all surfers to utilise a new members group on the social networking site Facebook, complain directly to BA and spread the word amongst other surfers.
Karen Walton, National Director, BSA, says, “If everyone who surfs could take five minutes to go online and follow our recommended action steps then we will have a real representation of the swell of support for the reversal of this absurd decision.
"The Facebook site already has in excess of 1,000 members and lots of our members have been making complaints to BA. Our new online petition means that people all over the world can add their support to our campaign and can add their personal comments about the issue. We will then be personally delivering the petition to the management at BA in the near future.”
Surfers are urged to take the following steps to help us lobby British Airways to reverse their decision:
1) Visit the petition. Follow the easy steps to sign this online petition and add any comments.
2) If you have a Facebook account, join the Facebook ‘British Airways Surfboard Ban’ group
3) Click this link and register a complaint with BA directly
4) Encourage all other surfers to follow these steps
The BSA has used British Airways when sending teams abroad to compete in competitions.
