Yes, you can bring a snowboard on board your Southwest Airlines flight, subject to certain restrictions and fees. Southwest Airlines accepts snowboards as checked baggage, but not as carry-on baggage. You will need to pack your snowboard in a bag or container that meets Southwest's baggage size and weight requirements, which are typically a maximum of 62 inches in overall dimensions and 50 pounds in weight.

Additionally, you will need to pay a fee for checking in your snowboard. As of April 2023, the fee for checking in a snowboard on a Southwest Airlines flight is $75 each way. You can pay this fee at the airport when you check in or online when you book your flight.

It's important to note that Southwest Airlines does not assume liability for loss, damage, or delay of your snowboard or any other checked baggage, so it's recommended that you purchase travel insurance to protect your belongings.

Finally, it's always a good idea to check with Southwest Airlines directly or consult their website for the most up-to-date information on their baggage policies and fees before you travel.
