Took Andy Irons, Corey Lopez, and Wardo there to shoot for a new film. A little closed out but those guys got some sick barrels and took some hard wipeouts. Andy broke his board, Wardo got the barrel of the day. Corey the air of the day. They really

Rent or buy...
I would rent, there are some decent shops down there with good choices, so you can change your stick depending on the swell or non-swell.

Buying leaves you with trying to sell it at the end of your trip!

Now, if you are going down for a month than you would have the time to sell and barter.
