about renting gear: to each his own. I prefer the ease of renting
equipment. I bring my own booms so that
I can have more then 1 sail rigged at a time.

About united.....
"...lost two pairs of skis of mine and is trying very hard to
pay only $150 for both pairs!"

I want to know where those dudes shop for skis;-) I just purchased some
new skis for way more $.

Was anyone up in the mountains yesterday? I heard it was an epic bluebird
day, 2 feet of new. would love
to hear some on-site reports.

I'd say that unless you would save SIGNIFICANT money by taking, rent. It's
way easier, if you get skunked you generally don't have to pay, you can try
different brand new stuff, and you can swap boards based on the conditions.

We usually go in June and I've been on everything from a 3.5/8'0" to a
6.0/9'0" so it's nice to be able to swap.

Also I don't know what the airlines do for damaged and lost equipment.
Recently United lost two pairs of skis of mine and is trying very hard to
pay only $150 for both pairs!

I recommend renting. You'd be spending close to the same amount for 3 or 4
days sailing as bringing your gear. Plus you can try recent top of the
line

equipment and exchange as much as you'd like. To me, it's not worth the
hassle of carting the equipment around the airport for a short trip, along
with the risk of damage to the board. At the most I'd bring the sails if
they don't charge for it. Reserve your equipment ahead of time and get a
discount.
