Unfortunately, the standard Highway Express buses will not allow a 9 foot longboard because it does not fit in the undercarriage storage compartments. They generally only accept shortboards up to 6 feet if safely padded. For a longboard, you will need to book a private minivan taxi or take the coastal train where you can store it in the guard van.
