Has anyone been kitesurfing in the Grenadines?

I saw this place a while back advertising for an instructor http://www.kitesurfgrenadines.com

I'm actually curious if anyone has stayed and kited here? I've been kiting in Cuba 3 times in the past 6 months and I'm looking to explore new options. Feed back is greatly appreciated thanks!

Re: What is this Kiteboard?

Made for Don Bowers?? Made by Don Bowers. Don is a very well known shaper of surfboards and windsurfers on the Outer Banks. Shaped for Fox since the 70's I think. Also well known for his windsurfing and his photography. BTW here is a picture circa 2000 of that board being ridden. Might be your boar...

Re: Instructor wanted - JT Pro Center Union Island

Wow. I wish I was IKO certified. Could use a 6 month LOA from the engineering office in the cold winter months of Canada!

The T handle upgrade is a replacement to the balls that are not friendly to grab. Its a better design. My local dealer said he can order the t handl...

Re: Upgrade to Cabrinha 2013 lines

Didn't bother replacing any of the stuff below the Y on the mains because it all looked pretty good still. The swap took about 30mins to do. Thanks! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I...

Upgrade to Cabrinha 2013 lines

Is it possible to upgrade an older bar to the new 2013 lines? More specifically, has anyone tried to upgrade the lines on a 2011 ids bar with 2013 lines?

Thanks!
