Kiteboarding in Paradise

Kitebaording/kitesurfing first started in Maui Hawaii in 1998

The first kites where hand sewn , 200 kites for kite surfing where made and 200 kiteboarders from all over the world where made shortly after.

That was nearly 10 years ago and now there are over 500 thousand kiteboarders world wide.

The Bahamas is known to be one of the best places in the world to learn to kiteboard and to kiteboard with it’s shallow warm water and great trade winds, offer a incredible experience and adventure for all levels of kiteboarders. Beginners to advanced riders.

From flat water riding to crisp clean virgin Atlantic waves,

With IKO instructors and the newest safest teaching methods on the latest gear, this is the place to learn the extreme sport of kiteboarding “Safely”.

The water temp is 70 deg all year round a bit warmer in summer.

The kiting season really kicks off around end of September when the trade wind changes from ESE to ENE average wind speeds in winter are 15 to 20 kts.

The teaching areas are shallow warm clean water uncrowned and off the well trodden path…not only do we offer kiteboarding lessons we offer adventure and lifestyle.

new pass port requirments for Americans to enter into the Bahamas

There has been a few changes for Americans traveling to the Bahamas.
you guys used to be able to get in with a drivers license or a birth certificate.
the Bahamian goverment and the USA goverment is requiring you to have a valid pass port to enter the Bahamas.

The good news is some of the major hotels here in Nassau like Atlantis and some of the bigger hotels (in the cable beach strip) are refunding there guests the amount it cost for them to get there pass ports. (nice)
just thought I would put that up for any1 wishing to come and ride in the Bahamas.(and get there pass port paid for)

I don’t know how long it will last for but it sounded like a good deal so I figured I would let people know.

* Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.
