Re: aruba

I think you have to hire a chase boat because winds are off shore. Although I must admit those advertisements about Aruba on the subway T just might make me join ya!

Re: aruba

Rafi,

T has kited Aruba a few times. He could give you the low down. Supposedly most of the riding is on the north shore. With south side riding only allowed in the early morning and late afternoon.

That's all I know about kiting there. I did windsurf at Fisherman's Huts back in '96. It's very flat offshore to side off riding there, further west of there is a long point which offers side off wave riding...

Have fun.

-Jim
