Last year at this time it was about 69 degrees - about the same as the Coulmbia at end of July. I wore a shorty for sailing and was fine but my wife and I went...
Our experience is that a shorty is usually enough. If you snorkel without a shorty you can last about 20 minutes. With a shorty you can snorkel all day. On a...

As Rick said, many people use shorty's in Baja. I prefer my convertible, however. My main reason is the small, annoying jelly fish. These guys are smaller...

I am looking for Rooster Rock wind speeds during the month of Jan 2004. I checked NOAA but don't know where to find it on their FTP server...help appreciated. ...
I just spent a month in La Vantana and never used anything but a shorty. There were people in full suits but I would guess the water is in the 69 to 72 range. ...
I have a 12 foot poly HiFly from the early 80's that I would like to get another fin for. The raked plastic fin fits in a slot 1 5/8" wide 1 1/8" deep 9"...

Check out http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_history.phtml?station=WPOW1 I've found most of the historical information to be on the NOAA site which has the wind...
I have found the historical data to be in error, flawed. The data less than a week old is fine, but the stored archived wind data has something wrong with it....

Team Boardheads.... I'm considering buying a 2003 HiFly 266 110 lts. I've read some good reviews and received the usual sales info. Does any one have any...
I have the 98 liter hifly (2yr old red board). I think this is like what you are looking at but a size smaller. I use it mostly with a 5.5m -4.7m. I weigh...

It was good 4.2m/ScoreV78/24cm conditions from about 10:30 to 11:30. Partial sunshine and no rain. I was just getting dialed into the nice swells when it...
Just returned from a vacation in La Ventana where I had the opportunity to try this board, although from the nose shape I believe it might have been the 2002...
Gary.... Thanks very much for the review. One of the first things I do when I buy a new board is trhow the stock fin away and go for a very good fin as I hate...
I wholeheartedly agree on the stock fin, Dick. My guesstimate on the fin size is also suspect. Lets just say it looked plenty big for the 6.x rig. I tried to...
... I've been using a 12.5" fin for my 6.2m2 wave sail and it's fine. I typically use a 14.75" or 15.5" (thin cord) for my 6.9m2, but the 12.5" works for this...
It was most excellent 9.7m/FW/70cm conditions from 2:30 to 4:30pm today. I looked at Des Moines first at about 2pm but the wind line was about 1/2 mile out...
