You'll be fine. Just like Jmaxymek said I normally fly with my backpack as a carry on and then put my board with bindings, wetsuit, vest, handle, helmet, boardshorts, etc. all in my bag and it's nowhere close to the 50 lbs (even coming back when things may be wet still).
Just a heads up though it depends on the airline but they may give you a hard time. In my experience it's been good to go ahead and pull up the airlines rules on watersports or snowboard equipment in case the person at the gate does try to charge you even if it's under their weight limit.
