how to package???

I've got to post some kitesurfing equipment to the other end of the country I have a board 140 x 40 cm and two kites 70x 50x50cm ish each
It doesn't weigh much.

Does anyone know how I should package them??
was thinking of fedex or UPS and just covering the kite with film and brown tape and the board with bubble wrap???

Any suggestions

    I can't even picture the shape of these items (I'm not built for kitesurfing!), but I would make sure that the packaging fully protects them against other heavier things being bundled on top of them or the items being thrown around a bit. The courier themselves might be bale to give you some guidance.

    Also make sure the dimensions are suitable when you get a quote.
