Sports, the choices are ENDLESS Kitesurfing Windsurfing has gone through a turbulent development since it's invention by Hoyle Schweitzer and Jim Drake back in the seventies. Jim Drake had experimented already in the early stages of windsurfing with a wing, more shaped like a hangglider. A little later I had the pleasure of testing a wing developed by the innovative sail designer Andre Lefebvre. Time has gone by and the wing became a kite which finally turned out to be an appropriate alternative to accelerate a surfboard using the windpower. Since kitesurfing really started taking off about two years ago, the still relatively small kitesurfing community learned quickly that special circumstances are needed to make kitesurfing a safe and enjoyable experience. Barbados isn't only blessed with it's unique windsurfing conditions, it also has the most ideal kitesurfing beach possible. I would probably not mean to exaggerate to say that this might be one of the most ideal kitesurfing beaches in the world. Just a couple of minutes away from Inchcape a gorgeous, tropical, mile long beach with slightly onshore winds has all the requirements for the ideal kitesurfing spot: It's lonely,
it's a beautiful white sand beach, hardly any person around. The wind
blows slightly onshore, all the safety you want as a kitsesurfing beginner.
Many days or parts of days there is ideal windforce for kitesurfing. What else
can you ask for........ Written by Wolfgang Lange, Inchcape Seaside Villas and Apts |
