On U.S. domestic flights (including interisland) and flights between the US Mainland and Hawaii, you are allowed up to two pieces of checked baggage without charge.

Each bag should weigh no more than 50 pounds and not exceed 62 linear inches.

For travel on code share partner Island Air (AQ 5000 series flights) the total weight should be no more than 50 pounds for both bags combined.

Excess baggage fees will be charged for more than two pieces of luggage or if one or more of your bags exceeds the weight and size restrictions mentioned above. Bags over 70 pounds will not be accepted.

The website has this on the FAQ section:
Q: Can I check-in a surfboard as baggage?

A: Yes, with payment of a handling charge.
But it doesn't specify how much. Therefore we asked them and this is what they said:

"1) Surfboards – Not included in determining free baggage allowance. Maximum length for acceptance as baggage is 115 inches. The entire board must be encased in a suitable container sufficient to prevent scratches, dents, or other damages during normal handling. The skeg, if not removed, must be well padded. Subject to the following charges:

a) On points within the State of Hawaii: USD $25.00

b) Between Hawaii and the Continental U.S.: USD $50.00

c) Within the Continental U.S.:USD $50.00

2) Boogie Board – Boogie/body surfing board will be included in determining the free baggage allowance, and when in excess, each item will be subject to the excess baggage charge for a single piece."

They didn't mention kitesurfers, but we imagine you can consider the same rates apply as those for surfboards.
