Check out Liquid Blue Cabarete..they offer rentals, lessons and have a ton of interesting videos on YouTube.  I am sure they arrange or can recommend accommodation as well...

Below is my Facebook Marketplace listing for this F-One Rocket 5'4" x 27" 90 liters A condition. Comes with all hardware, MFC Boardbag, brand new F-One footstraps and F-One installed rail tape.  I own 2 of this same board and only used this on a handful of times.  Great board, plenty stable, very durable. Really nice and comfortable deck pad.  $750 for everything... Vero Beach , FL

Not where your travel begins, you might want to start with these guys in Miami. https://www.wind-addict.com/pages/about-us

If they don't rent gear I am sure that can tell you who does in the area..

not what either of you is searching for, but I have a brand new Molokai 95 blade still in the bag never used for anyone who is looking.

wow solid report and you obviously love the board.  I've been reading so much about these shapes, but have yet to actually see one on the water or know anyone who owns want. 20"wide..wow common sense would say the board would be tippy but reports tell just the opposite.   looking forward to seeing some videos and seeing one in person.

I have a home in Vero Beach and SUP surf up in  Melbourne. Seeing the wetsuits and water color, I am guessing those photos are from winter.  .Spring can have nice waves with beautiful water and warm weather.  Plenty of uncrowded breaks with miles of beach and parking.  It’s a good destination and probably most consistent surf in the state.

I think you will like it..I have owned a couple others and they are big and clunky . The Puffer Pro is smaller and has a carry bag too.

Puffer pro pump..love it. comes with multiple adapters to inflate many different water toys
I use it for winging and can inflate about 4 wings before recharging.

Yes been doing it for years with windsurfing gear and now wing foiling gear. I have to get through coral and rocks and breaking waves and it’s a challenge. I have a buoy tied to a mushroom anchor just past the break, usually chest/neck deep water . I tie up my board and then bring the rig after. Works great.

Gear Talk / Re: L41 Bruce Wayne model

you won't be disappointed with the Bruce Wayne, and I probably wouldn't have been either had I not been riding the Hobie Raw for years.  It spoiled me and anything else I tried over the years couldn't compare.  Now that I am a bit older and don't SUP as much as I did, I could use a board like the Bruce Wayne now.
good luck

Let me chime in on my time with the L41 Bruce Wayne ..from all appearances and dimensions 8'10" x 30" x 4.49" 130L, this board looked perfect for me. At the time I was riding my Hobie Raw 8'10" by 28" 118 liters and looking for something with a tad more width and stability for those choppy days in the line up.  I LOVE my Hobie Raw and it rips and is fast and maneuverable.  I was disappointed with the Bruce Wayne and eventually sold it at a loss.  It felt sluggish to me and wide and not as easy to throw around as my Hobie. The Bruce Wayne surfed like a SUP and that's what it is. My Hobie Raw surfs like a surfboard and why I still love it although as I get older it's more of a challenge.   I tried to like the Bruce Wayne, but found myself always going back to the Hobie Raw.  for me it was an expensive mistake   I think most people will like the board and for most it would be an upgrade from what they are riding..just wasn't the case for me.

These days I wing foil and don't SUP nearly as much.

In the Caribbean, it really depends on the island and the foiling location.  We live on the south side of Bequia in the Grenadines and protected from majority of the sargassum. I was foiling into early April and not a weed to be found..however north side of our island had some in the water and on the beaches.  I also have read Mexico gets a lot of sargassum but that was more Cancun Cozumel areas.  you might want to reach out to wingdingjoe who is a member of this forum and ives in Cancun. he might know about La Ventana as well

I am partial to the Grenadines where I have a home.  Even if I didn't, I'd still go there for the consistent trade winds, amazing beautiful water and swells and breaking surf offered around the island chain.  Fly Miami to St.Vincent to begin your trip, then take island ferries to visit the different islands.
