I damaged the lower x-ply panels on my 5.6 S2 Maui Dragon. Is it worth repairing and if so, will it ever feel the same?
There's a bunch of boat sail lofts around my area (Galveston), but not sure ... |

Packery Channel on southerly winds, and Port Aransas on northerly winds, are good places to wave sail. |

Now, I plan on getting my eldest a wind SUP since ... |

Sailed that area back in the mid-90's before the hotel existed. A couple of friends and I sailed 4.5/5.0 for 3 days without anyone in sight. Worth a try, but Arenal is worth checking out. |

When my son was 8 (he's now 10), the 2.0 was a good fit. Never seen the Chinook sails in person but we really like the North DriveGrom. The sails are well built and still very light. |

I have square cross bars but added a wind fairing to help with noise and drag. Not sure how much it helps but probably more than the aerodynamic bars. |

I'm the same weight and generally use smaller sails then most. I can easily plane with a 100L board and a 5.7 in 15kts of wind. I could probably get a 5.0 going but it would be a struggle which takes ... |
