I had the 7mm solite when they first came out. Great fitting, lightweight and decently warm. Velcro strap were lame, didnt stay stuck. Durability was not great. Next year I got the 6mm (they stopped making the 7mm) and they were way thinner and not warm enough for the sub 50F waters.

Surf kinda sucked here by the time I got off work. Looked fun from above but the wind was a funky angle blowing right into the lefts and the chops were really hard to deal with. Still, got a few fun ones and did better than my buddy which is what matters most.

Looks awesome Maz!

Thanks for the pic!

Was planning on going there for my 40th birthday rather than my Fiji trip, but the wife really pushed for Fiji. I miss that place a lot, but I'll be back. :shaka:

Well, you scored! And your wife was happy too, so a win-win.

It's finally happening.

I'm getting out of this sorry excuse for a surf zone and moving to the greener pastures of Santa Cruz.

Really looking forward to a change of scenery (and waves).

If you happen to know anyone looking to rent out their 2-3 bedroom house in the Santa Cruz area, please pm me their info. We are a clean, respectful and dependable family of 4. Hoping to get into a place around Nov 1st, but later is ok as well. :shaka:

Hey jkb, congrats on getting to greener pastures (where you moving from)? I live here in SC and am close friends with a lot of realtors and property managers. Why don’t you PM me and I can try and put you in touch with some of them - do you have a specific location in mind (Westside, Seabright, capitola, live oak, etc .) and I presume you’re aware of the costs?

Hey ocean7847. Thank you!

I'm coming from Oceanside and yes, we've been looking at rental prices for a while now, but haven't committed to anything because we wanted to get up there to be able to see the properties in person. It would be amazing if you could recommend any realtors and/or property managers! Thank you.

Took the 10'0" down to paddle around desperation bar. Bigger than I thought but complete closeouts in front. Saw a few sets at a certain spot with a few guys on it. They went in and had it to myself for an hour. Fun small runners trimming beautifully on the glider. Score!
