Marty, glad to hear that you and Jill arrived safely. Yes, I am interested in renting a room from you. Right now I am working my way through medical appointments for Winnie and me, so not sure when we can be there. Winnie says that she would like to come.
Is there a decent launch there? How far from ...

Hi Kus, I would like a pair of these fine French booties in split-toe. My shoe size is 9. Giles

How many weeks do I need to make driving down to make La Ventana worth it?

When are you thinking of heading down there?

Probably second week in November. What about you Nanmoo?

Nanmoo, one month would make the drive worthwhile.

Speedy,

Try Brian Talma, Irie Man. He has a shop, good launch and the prettiest girls.
Further east on the south coast is an Italian group from Lake Garda. They are cool, have good gear and launch.

Bus - I'm not sure about gear but possible. Just remember that large buses go only two ways - To ...

Jimmy, thanks for the links. Giles.

Martin,

Thanks for the update. We are envious!

On Saturday, Tom S, Rick Roberts, Arturo and Sherrin, Jimmy Lewis and friend Utta, Jimmy's daughter Colleen, and Marcus joined Woynshet, Avery and I for a send-off dinner for Tom and Art, who will be heading your way today. I made a couple of dozen ...

Martin, Thanks for the update. Still getting some shortie days?

Pastadude, Tom S and Arturo are coming for supper on Saturday around 17:30. Would you like to join us? Call me at home, 480-0058 or on mobile, 514-1279. We'll get in a Mexico frame of mind.

Giles.

Pastaman, this is indeed Giles from Wonderful WINO.
It would be great if we could combine forces to create a Surfareee to the Amigo Country. How's your Espanol?

I am considering driving to La Ventana in the second week of January, then returning by end of Febuary.
Does anyone want to share driving and expenses in a VW Westy?
Alternately, I'd consider helping another kiter drive his rig down in the same time frame.
PM me or Email at

Kus, sounds like you've got a good group at the gravel pit. Great Gorge weather. Well earned brews.
We're leaving Portland area this AM and will sip and swirl our way through the Yamhill, Dundee area on the way to the coast.
BWD forcast looks good for Florence by Wednesday. Are you coming?
Giles.

Kus and company, the Thorps are in Vancouver, Washington, visiting relatives. Had an afternoon session at Swell City yesterday. 4.2 meter. Nice moving moguls. Heading to the coast tomorrow. Probably Florence. Where are you guys? Giles ( m. 250-514-1279 )

BWD YOU GIVE GOOD HELMET.

I concur with Windoc and Morewind. I had a tendon joint break. If ever an hourglass U-joint breaks, the webbing will likely enable you to return to shore. I note that the two photos show a one-screw base. If you are considering any wave riding, I would recommend using a two-bolt base. Less chance ...

Thanks Jimmy. Good advice and two numbers that I have recorded. Giles.
