But if I buy a Mini where do I put my 3 boards and 8 sails?

I'm a BIG guy, but I'm down to 2 boards and 3 sails. I have a 9.5, 7.5 and 6.0. The sails have such a huge range nowadays I really don' ...

Yes, as was previously stated they are no longer allowed to do any business at the park or on the beach at Kailua. So no rentals, no lessons, no nothing.

I talked to the guys at the Naish shop and ...

My Boards: 2010 Starboard Go 175, 2011 Starboard Carve 151
