I lived in elbow cay and i can assure you that unless there is a hurricane spinning off the coast, august will not be epic, unless 3-4ft SE chop is your thing. The place that rents boards only rents funboards and longboards (BIC) so bring your own. Please be respectful of the locals as we do have a thriving surf scene here now, and for heavens sake get out of the water when theres a contest!
bringing a surfboard to elbow cay
hi, i was looking into coming down to elbow cay and have run into a problem. continental/gulfstream flies there through florida and gulfstream says "no surfboards allowed"????so...has anyone seen or dealt with this and if so, how do you get around it except by flying a different airline? are there any decent boards to rent down there in elbow cay??
thanks,
eric

Bring the Board with
Patric, I lived in Abaco for a while, and know that there is really no place to rent a board, sometimes you can find the odd local that will loan you thier Board, but it is best if you have room to bring your own. There is no real surf report but if you want Info from some locals as to the conditions you can try to post on the Abaco internet board http://coconuttelegraph.net just post asking if anyone knows how the waves are, sometimes they answer sometimes not. I know that last week there was a front moving through and the Elbow Key breaks were going off. If you will be in Marsh Harbour anyway, you can just call on the VHF CH16 and see what the conditions are,and remember that there are at least 7 major breaks on Elbow and Guana alone.There is usually someplace to ride. Not sure where the Camera is pointed today, but sometimes the "Rocky Bay " cam gives a good view of the break from time to time. www.rockybay.com I hope that this info helps and you can find what you are looking for. If I see a post on the Abaco Board I will drop you a line and see if there are any Abaco Details that I can fill in. and locals to get in touch with... Wonkee..
