I'm thinking that next summer I will need to escape the local conditions on a good surf trip. Thinking probably Central America-Sometime between mid-June and mid-August. I will need to budget for this to happen so I'm hoping you all could throw out some ballpark figures for total cost of a 1 week or so trip to a spot with good surf. Any other suggestions appreciated as well. Muchas Gracias

Thinking many of you may have missed the news that was buried in a SMLM report earlier this week. City of Pacifica has a permit pending to charge $6/day or $40 -50 yearly permit. I don't care all that much as I'm not out there a ton and also tend to park at the com center. But there are quite a few south wind days where it seems to be the only option.

Need to get a new 4/3 sometime soon. Thinking of trying to hit some labor day sales in SC. Anyone have any experience with the 4.5/3.5 Psychofreak? I have heard its really warm... but I'm concerned about durability. How does it compare to a Psycho 2 (my past/current suit)?
