With bills to pay and all ts coming down to either a trip (likely El Salvador) or a new board. Naturally, be nice to have both, but can't justify. Wondering what the collective's thoughts are on the matter? Leaning towards the trip.

Its often a hard choice but a good surf trip to somewhere like that would beat a new board any day.

I spent way too much on boards last year, could have gone over seas for 3 months on the same cash.
If you have boards already travel for sure.

Is a hard choice though.

Oh if you have commitments here, i guess that can change the options.

Surely the trip is going to be way more expensive than the board? You could probably get 3 boards for the price if your trip....
Still, holiday every time
