Re: Any sail knowledge?

Try a NP RS Slalom 08, cams work greater , hard to differentaite between the rss. I just ugraded a 7.8 from last year and got a 8.4 and 7.2 they have huge range and are awesome to sail. If looking used try Neil Pryde Maui.com (800) 321-7443.

I tried last year to start a local chapter of Surfrider Foundation, but no interest. Maybe we should try again. We all should be concerned about water quality.

Starboard older ones?

I had a 175 and it was pretty good, but they have made tremendous improvements. I would try to get a newer one. Check out the free fromula 158 from two years ago you will like it better. Go to the starboard site and look they post all past seasons line-ups. A 155 -175 from 6 years ago should be real...

It gybes like a smaller board only when it is fully planning, it does gybe well then though. Sub plannning it works just like a long board with opposite foot steering. It is pretty narrow, so it does plane pretty fast. The dagger board works smooth. The only thing I do not like is the footstraps tha...

I like my Kona, but it is a tweener. slower than formula on plane but faster than longboards. In schlogg it is faster than formula but slower than old longboards. I think the Mah...

What kind of budget are you on? Maui has the best of what you are looking for. Plus many options for types of places to stay, less crowded than Oahu for the most part. You will have to drive to all of those activities but nothing is really far. I would say check out Kehei/Waimea side. Short 9 mile d...
