The Conditions
On a good day, mainly from December through to June, the conditions are some of the finest in the Caribbean. The windsurfing launch is from the Pigeon Point National park. It is protected by Bucco Reef which lies up to one and half miles off one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Inside the vast lagoon, the flat, crystal clear, shallow water is a sailor's dream. Outside the reef there is some chop. The wind is steady side shore from the left making it easy to tack out and return.


The Centre
Located on an idyllic white sand beach this is Caribbean paradise with swaying palms, cooling steady trade breezes. The Fanatic centre provides the latest boards with a range of sizes and sails. It is minutes to walk across the sandy to launch. As a protected national park, Pidgeon Point has no hotels just palm trees and a bar serving snacks to keep refreshed off the water. At the end of the day, relax over a cocktail and watch the setting sun.
