Default Bahamas kiting

I just go back from an unbelieveable trip mostly in the Sea of Abaco between Hopetown and the northern extent of the Sea of Abaco.

I will try to write something up and send it to you. There are so many unreal spots out there, espeially if you have a boat. We wer on a 45' cat so we were able to go places fast and comfortbly, someimes anchoring 50' from the beach. Wind direction and rider ability will obviously play a big part in selecting a spot. Currents can be strong, look for good sand bars and good fetch.

Many thanks to several people who posted replies and suggestions in the "Bahamas" section that guided me to some incredible riding locations.

Either way you are going to love it out there. Personally I enjoyed getting out to the outer cays, very few people or detritous of development.

I used a lot of kites sized while out there for teaching and personal riding: 5m 9m 12m 16m...used the 12m & 16m for my personal riding most of the time.

I'll try to post something in the Bahamas section in the next day or so.

cheers and have a great trip

Roberto
