Kiteboarding Trip to South Andros, Bahamas
March 21-28th, 2012

  
Hey this is Christo with Kite Club NY.  We got tired of waiting for snow, so we decided to organize a trip to explore South Andros Bahamas. Proposed dates are March 21th-28th we found that the flights are cheaper mid week.

The place is one of the secluded islands which has excellent kite conditions – constant winds (easterly trade winds mixed with local thermal winds) and shallow water, perfect for newbies, plus reef on the outside, great for downwinders, low
pricing on accommodations and food.
