Excess Baggage

Just arrived home with my Board 6'3, $200 lighter thanks to the kind people at Shitstar! I know i should have checked but i thought i could get away with paying a sporting fee at the airport! I got told i had to arrange this 24 hrs before take off! The manager explained to me i would have to pay $250 in ex baggage as our 2 checked bags weighed 39kgs and my surfboard 11kgs! anyway he knocked $50 off but its Bali its so dodgy anyway! so pays to read the fine print i guess but i thought you would just be able to pay a sporting fee like i did with air asia!
