Grenadines has been showing more wind than here too, my friends down island are lovin it.
I have had slow last week after landing hard on my ribs from a kiteloop gone wrong last wednesday, gunna try and hit the water tomorrow for another sesh on the 9m.
Been keeping occupied with boat chores and keeping in shape with some interval training 3 days a week with Blood Sweat n Tears fitness  (in the worlds best gym ... Pidgeon Point Beach in St Lucia) and plenty of swimming ... hopefully our first solid hurricane swell of the year will not be too far away, gotta be ready for that !

HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE

We are now well through june and the hurricane season is upon us! .... So is the rain!! Spending this afternoon making a new rain-catcher to keep our tanks full of water.
For the past few weeks we have been getting some nice winds here in the north of St Lucia, but marred by an abundance of rainstorms. I have managed to get in a few sessions at our local Cas En Bas beach, hope to get out for some waves sessions this week at a newly discovered spot on the east coast.

We are going to have a change from our usual yearly routine of heading to South America during "hurricane season" and will be staying put in the Eastern Caribbean, keep a very close eye on the weather in the Atlantic! Hopefully all hurricanes this year will stay out in the atlantic ocean and just bring us grunty big swells to surf. ....

Anyone interested in some last mintue "hurricane swell surfaris" at excellent prices let us know via email to be informed of conditions and when to jump on plane and get down to the islands for some sick waves.

We will also be offering charters this summer around the grenadines .... come explore the islands with us .... wind isnt as great as winter time but still plenty to see and do, with up to 50% off our normal rates!!!!

If anyone is actually reading this .... stay tuned.
