Re: Are we alone?

Re: Newbie looking for advice

I started small on C22 in 2019 and am glad I did. I made stupid mistakes that I knew to not do but I didn't have the muscle memory or intuition or what ever you want to call it. It cost less on a...

Re: Why do you guys like monohulls so much?

Re: Why do you guys like monohulls so much?

Re: Why do you guys like monohulls so much?

Re: Thoughts on buying used SCUBA gear
