Been to Kauai several times now and have also been trying to locate a whitewater boat here. Checked into bringing my own playboat and the costs are really steep. For a 30+ lb boat that is just over 6' long the UPS cost was over $400 one way from CT! Bringing it with you on the plane is more reasonable, but still expensive. On United you can bring oversize luggage up to 103' in length and under 100lbs for $250 each way. They said the boat should be in some type of bag. Still too expensive for me. Haven't looked into this yet but probably the best way would be to send it via ocean freight. Obviously this is slower and a precise arrival date might be hard to nail down. However, with a little planning this might be your best bet. Anybody have any luck finding boats already on the island? I'm going there in a few days.
