Looking for some feedback regarding peoples experiences renting gear from the two LacBay vendors. Positive and negative comments? From what I can find it seems both shops are 1st rate. So why choose one over the other. My windsurfing background is ~10 seasons with time spent on the Northshore of Maui, Cabarete & Margarita. Home waters is Lake Superior. Most used board has been either Naish 8'5" wave or Tiga New Wave 259 on 4.0 to 5.5M2 sails.

Dear Noel,

I am 5'2" and about 125# so here is my sail / rig info: My average sail size here year round is a 5.0 on a Fanatic Cross 100 liter board. I have an 85 liter Angulo board and have used it three times in Dec. It's been a windy Dec.

I have sailed Aruba, The Gorge, Maui, and Hatteras. This is NOTHING like the Gorge where it's nuking all the time (aside from the week I got skunked there). It's like Hatteras in that it's shallow but it's see to the bottom clear and when windy, super bump and jump conditions.



Ann
