Title: Activities
Post by: ttfg on November 18, 2009, 03:46:17 PM
Learn to surf.  I thought it would be a great clip/pic event. Cant find a place that does it. I know Antigua isnt an outer island but it do have waves. I did find windsurfing and kite surfing though. Not a free activity is the downside.

If im going to Antigua... Im going to Cuba. This would mean my being in the area for longer than a week.

Im in no rush to visit Jamaica.

'fraid not. There's a group of about 15 surfers here, who get to do what they love best only a handful of times every year, when the conditions are perfect. The beaches here are almost all pretty tame, just gently lapping waves.

So like I said... it do have waves.

and given places do learn to windsurf and whatnot, somebody has paid for public liabillity.

Let me dream. You reigon is the only one i havent surfed... yet.

I found a bunch of sites for that. Some under the $100 mark.

Yeah, that's very doable.

Kitesurfing too, which people seem to love.

There's hiking too, which is pretty cool.

To be honest, anyone concerned that there's gonna be nothing but beach-type activities need not worry. There's lots of other shit to do.

There's only one real nude beach, although you can get away with topless sunbathing at most of them.
