You were stand up surfing at JR? I'm surprised you were allowed on the water. The last time I tried SUPing there I was one of 2 people there and I got attitude from the surfer.

I've sailed the outerbanks that time of year and it was awesome. Great place to learn, stays really shallow however if you want a great place to learn Bonaire is fantastic, nice shallow sandy bottom.

I understand it sounds like complaining/venting, however the fees in the past I felt were reflective of the service I was recieving. I didn't complain about the fact there was no toilet paper in the outhouses because I was paying 10 dollars to share a campsite with 4 people. That being said when I p...

Am I the only one who finds it strange that there are now 2 threads on improvemnts to Nitnat (Sauna and Bike Loop) which will require volunteer help and resources, yet we seem to be paying the most we ever had for lake access.

So I want to be clear about this, I read the notice on the board and the fee is per party, yet they are charging per vehicle. When they came around on Saturday there were four of us in 3 vehicles sharing a campsite and we were charged 15 dollars per vehicle. They essentially got a total of 45 dollar...

First of all, thank you for your effort. Its much appreciated.

You somewhat mention it but is there a plan to re-evaluate how they charge for campsites, so far this year they are charging per vehicle on a campsite despite the fact that people are sharing the campsite.

Getting Windsurf Gear to La Ventana

Looking to head down to La Ventana after New Years for 2 weeks and was thinking of bringing my own windsurfing gear, if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get board and sails down to La Ventana short of driving down with it.

Thanks

I agree that every year its the same posts and nothing substantial changes. The one thing I would say is that in the 10 years I've been going to the lake the one thing I've really noticed is the steady build up of people showing up to the lake. When I first started coming to the lake I could show up...

Also the Red Sea looks like it would be epic during the month of May, the few days we where sailing through th...
