Yulex R2? Is that equivalent to 5/4? Didn’t see mil thickness.
Might go middle of road ~$300 Xcel suit from Island Surf. Thanks for all feedback!


No, Yulex 2 is similar to 4/3. Use it in Baja for the winter.
Haven't tried it here. I am older, the water is colder!
Still using a Promotion 5/4 ...

actually, the water is slightly cooler than I remember it. So swimming does help to cool the core. Some are renting ac rooms for a few nights, some are spending a lot of time in the freezer section of the supermarkets!
Some of us just get heatstroke and dehydrated.
Haven't heard of any dengue but ...

I might pop by there today, Greg.
This is way, way too early to be in LaVentana!
In my usual spot, but 38 to 39C every day is much too hot for this old guy.
I won't even get into the humidity, bugs and tropical storm watches.
Oh well, maybe foiling next month. 11m and 9m Elf kites. Foil on foil, now ...

Yes, Greg I think it will work.
I will have a look at it and see if the middle tuttle is in the right place.
It may be a bit too far aft. Two bolt though. A single bolt is a power box I think.
I bought the Aguera foil with a converted Aguera race board.
Later sold the race board and bought Adam ...

Greg,
I have an Aguera foil that you can try for a bit.
Now riding the Spotz 2. There was no learning curve going from the Aguera to the Spotz. The Aguera lifts at a slightly lower speed.
All we need is a tuttle box on one of your boards.

2009 North Rebel: no center strut
2010 North Rebel: center strut was put back in.
09 was the only year with no center strut on the Rebels.
Just tried my 2016 Rebel 7m and 10m. Not a lot of changes from 2014/2015/2016 which is a good thing. martin

Alaska Airlines Mastercard for over 10 years.
We use it for everything possible and now Costco!
Originally, we signed on because they flew to LaPaz for LaVentana but now only Cabo which is still okay.
Marion manages to fly to Cabo for 17,500 points.
Next week off to Florida on mileage points. Free ...
