The Caribbean, a region located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico, is home to many island states. Known for its unique culture, the Caribbean region consists of nations such as Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas and Dominican Republic, mostly known for their stunning coastal features and vibrant lifestyles. Many tourists visit this region due to its warm tropical climate and scenic beauty, which is soothing and relaxing.
The folk of the Caribbean are closely associated with coastal activities, which have given rise to a variety of aqua sports taking place on the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean. One of the most exciting aqua sports taking prominence in the Caribbean currently is kite surfing, an adrenaline pumping water sport, ideal for anyone who loves thrills and speed on the water.
Kite surfing involves gliding through the waters while holding on to a kite which is pushed along by coastal winds, and offers people a change to skim through the waters at an exciting speed. The tropical Caribbean climate and its warm waters make it ideal for hours of fun in the sun, making it the perfect location for seaside activities. The waters of the Caribbean are usually gentle with occasional patches of choppy water, and moderate winds ranging from 15 – 25 knots. Therefore the Caribbean is an excellent place to learn how to kite surf! There are many places in the region that offer kite surfing lessons with experts on kite surfing who will not only teach you the basics, but also teach you the daring art of launching yourself off the water while riding a wave; known as ‘catching air’, but this is only if your skills are good enough! Surfing these waters is both refreshing and exciting and is sure to be a whole lot of fun, so make sure you visit the Caribbean’s many kite surfing schools if you’re in the area.
