Try this surf board company in
Montreal http://www.imaginesurfboards.com/eng/ec ... oards.html sometimes they sell used boards. Their performance SUPs are getting outstanding reviews, plus they might even be made in Canada! I'm interested in the Enigma.

Ozy, check out punta mita for less crowded breaks. Sayulita i heard is a really crowded wave with mucho locals.

Maybe see you there, I leave on Jan 16th but will be staying south of PV for two weeks and driving up to the breaks.

I'm selling my 10.0" x 29" Oxbow. It's 140 Litres

Very stable and rides like a longboard in the waves. I've had it in anything up to overhead in Tofino.

Also quite fast on flat water. This board had consistently good to great reviews

I'm 180 lb.

I'm buying something around 9'3" now for the ...

May through August, a SE wind will blow stronger at San Pareil than at Columbia Beach. Some kind of venturi effect around Rathtrevor maybe. It's a superb kiting launch at low tides below 2 metres for the sand launch, with very small surf on the inside. We get a couple of 20 knot days a month during ...

Kitesurf. you only need a Honda civic for two or three dudes. averaging about 6.5 L/100km. Grow own food, own our own cows, try to buy a lot of local food. make the house more energy efficient ... limit air travel. :D

yup, end of Kincade Rd. Must have been a monstrous SE and I guess the waves last for an hour after the wind.

Nile Creek - around 1/2 hr drive north of Parksville. Take the Horne Lake exit off main highway. Helps if wind has a bit more East in it. i.e. more sensitive to a SSE/offshore windshadow than CB. From years past, wind at CB tends to go more offshore the colder the air temperature is (not totally ...
