SailRider's Adventures

---

In 2025 Sailrider went to Antigua on a Dufour 520 Bareboat Yacht! Kiteboarding, Sailing, Hiking, and just loads of fun. Two dads with the kids. Videos coming soon!

So I have been hearing of the TCI for a while and decided to give it a shot. Long Bay on the southeast side of Providenciales island is a great spot for Kiteboarding, and even though it's a little on the choppy side it is shallow everywhere! On the opposite side of the island, Smith's Reef on Grace Bay is a cool spot for snorkeling. Check out these videos to see for yourself!

The wind this year in Cabarete has been very unusual. Lots of light wind days, and then winds from the west! Locals tell me they have not seen this in over 15 years... The strong fronts in the north are starting to dwindle now, so hopefully the trade winds will settle in. The forecast today is for 15-20 knots, with winds increasing during the week.

April is my month in Cabarete. When I got here, the winds were light, and that was the general trend January through March. This week however, the winds finally materialized after 4 days of nothing. First day, I started on a 12M but quickly moved to my 9. The winds, as usual in Cabarete, pick up after 1-2PM and strengthen during the day until their peak around 5-6PM. For the next three days we enjoy 25-30 knot winds with large swells and wave riding fun. Got some footage on the GoPro for an eventual video.
