I didn't buy a pass this year and fully regretted it. I'll buy one next year most likely. It really is a great spot. Use the Nam3km on Ikite for a pretty accurate forecast up there. If it says 15 MPH, that'll be the low/average wind. The gusts would probably be at or just over 20. So you might have ...

Hopefully you already bought some new gear as I'm late to this thread. If so, congratulations! If not, I would always recommend the newest gear you can afford. When you price out the newest generation of gear, all the brands are very competitively priced. You can buy older generation AXIS gear if yo...

GoFoil. Axis. Both have options. Go foil just came out with a new mast so you might find a deal on the last mast and some gt2200 foils maybe. Nl*** series wings should be really cheap used. Axis recommendations above seem good. The big spitfire is supposed to be great. I would start with just that o...

Yeah that story makes me sad about it too. Honestly though, you just stick to the main areas, get a hotel room, you're fine. Where they were feels SUPER remote. There is no help out there and it's not populated with surfers. La Ventana is totally fine and not like that at all.

Plenty wind to get home by 4:30. Nobody needs that 27 MPH nonsense. When 12 is the # you're looking to see to get on the water, that's a super good forecast for tomorrow. I'm out for the day unfortunately.
