I'm not sure if you actually have to pay to bring boards on a plane, might depend on the airline though.

I recently brought 2 boards (7'8" mini mal and a 6'8" fish) from Australia. Just checked it into the oversized luggage desk and that was it. Went through 3 airports unscathed!

Make sure you remove the fins though!

€30 each way with Aer Lingus.

Actually heading out to Ericeira for 2 weeks surfing on Monday, hope the conditions continue.
