I bought the Benchmade 7 Hook. $35 My theory is that if I'm ever in that moment of desperation where I have to use it I'm not cursing at myself for skimping on a safety device that could be saving my life. $40 isn't anything. It's held up well for 3 seasons of saltwater and it's still super sharp. F...

Thread JACK:

I would assume Bonaire and Curacao get the same steady, awesome wind that Aruba gets?

I enjoyed Aruba, but wished it had a few more spots to ride with less people. (No offense!) Anyone with suggestions for Curacao as well as Bonaire?

Fit, full windskin, warmth, comfort..........

The only drawback is the full windskin isn't the most durable. Shop around, there are some good deals out there.

So what is the difference between the Elite and the Hex?
Carbon insert and graphics at a glance.

Well this looks better.......

Unfortunately the Bahamas took one on the chin. Hopefully the whole thing just dissipates without harm.
