There's no published policy so we contacted Emirates for more information, but the news wasn't good. They told us this: "In Economy Class customers receive a 20kg hold baggage allowance (Business Class 30kg and First Class 40kg). Anything in addition to this weight is charged per kg over; this charge varies from route to route. If a surfboard, kitesurf or windsurf is part of this excess baggage weight it will be charged per kg accordingly."
However the website does state that some golf equipment is also carried free of charge, so you can try looking like a golfer!

Travel to Oman from Roissy Charles de Gaulles (France, Paris).
The company asked us 55€ by exceeding kilos. After a lengthy discussion We had to restrict ourselves to the minimum : 1 board, 2 sails, 2 masts, 1 wishbone and of course all the small stuff and clothes => 35 kg ; 15kg free above the limit.

Economy class now has 30kg of luggage, which we used totally for windsurf equipment. No problems at all, even snuck in a few sneaky extra kilos, they didn't seem too bothered as long as it was around 30kg per person.
