Checked Tie

Can I tie my luggage closed (checked baggage).?
I have a the nose of my longboard sticking out of my military bag, so I tied it closed with string. I was just wondering if they re-open it for security reasons, would they tie it back up or is it best to just have it as a carry on, its 42" inches of bamboo.
I am a member of the international guild of knot tyers, and our members often use a bit of string instead of a lock on checked luggage, and about half the time the cases have been opened the string is not put back on and about half the cases it is, it is done poorly.
So I would not trust security to re-tie your board in such a way that it is reliable, with string that is.
If you want to put it in the hold luggage make sure that both bag and board have your contact details and if possible a part of your baggage claim stickers, and use straps rather than a bit of string. It is much more likely that it will be put back on right after checking.
Ask whether you can take it as carry on, at check-in, before you hand in your luggage. You might need to arrive early to do that, airlines rely on computer/self check-in more and more.
