I always rent from

Nice Fanatic and RRD boards there and they have roof racks.

I'd just see what the weather is like, usually when I go I hit the doldrums and end up snorkeling and drinking big swell IPA.

La MarVentana

I stayed at Baja Joe's and ProWindsurf last March. Both places were awesome for different reasons. I sailed about 6 of of 9 days. 3 were higher wind 20-24 knot sessions. At Joe's I stayed with a bunch of friends(kiters) so we had a blast during the apres portion of the day. They also have amazing co...

Nitnat

1) Thanks Ray for putting my thoughts into words. 2) KC is an accountant, should prolly consider what he's suggesting. Besides, what are the odds of a toonie and a loonie making it back to civilization after they have been stuffed in your board shorts and you're 3 beers in. 3) Hopefully the kiters k...

I always enjoy your contributions to the site KUS. Look forward to seeing you at Nitnat this summer along with everyone else. I just returned from La Ventana. Highly recommended checking it out. It's like Nitnat of the South with tacos and margaritas. I stayed at Baja Joe's and at ProWindsurf. I'd r...

Capital One

I'm flying down to LaVentana (through Cabo)March 1, then flying home March 9. I'll be staying at Baja Joe's and then likely ProWindsurf for the last few nights. Maybe I'll see you before I leave.

Kona winds in Maui. Not much windsurfing to be had here right now...

Mauio

I'll be there Jan 29th-Feb 19th, staying in Kihei with the fams. DWD you gonna be there during that time? I always rent from Second Wind, they have RRD boards and Ezzy sails. When I'm with the fams I usually rent around 2:30pm, sail until dinner and then come back and sail the next day from 11-3ish....
