Wonder if anyone out there is wearing a surfing wetsuit to Kite or windsurf.
I am concerned of windchill in surf suit without smoothskin.
I am surfing all year on Coast and need to purchase new wetsuit which I hope will double for Kite on windsurf.
Any opinions/ experience would be super helpful as I have always used my NP dry which is falling apart now.
Cheers

Will this be the kind of stuff we'll talk about at the annual meeting? Wetsuits?

[LeopardSkin]

What I wanna know is are u gonna ride your Harley to the AGM?

[AlexK]

I thought I posted under "General" topics?

[Tony360]

Wetsuit selection and motorbikes are not expected to be on the Agenda. Complaints by members about cleanliness of port-a-potties and dog etiquette are optional.

Brush jumps. Quarter pipes. Taco trucks. Beer kegs. Oil-spill boom for flat water. Tow-in winch.

[bandito]

Is it possible to vote to reduce fees at the SWS meeting?
20$day and 165 year suck
15$ / 120$ , and I would prefer 12/100,
whats next, 25$ /200?
Also, any people demoing kites(like NORTH ,Cabrinah,Ozone) been charge extra as kite companies n reps n stores get money back with publicity and deals and paybacks.

Not a member so my voice is not worth much, but should the spit have a maximum capacity limit per day for kitesurfers and or windsurfers ?
Day fees should be reduced I agree with Bandito, a rescue fee system should be in place, which would reduce the annual fee and make people more responsible.
I am not looking at starting a debate here, just throwing some ideas out there, so 1 day we might come back to the spit to spend time with friends.

Just for reference:

• I spent August in Toronto so I only got 45 sessions at Squamish this season

• $165 membership / 45 sessions = $3.70 per session

• gas cost (excluding vehicle wear-and-tear) from North Van in a small car = $15 per round trip

• Most of you probably spend much more $$$ on gas
