Hey,

I have a trip lined up to Green Turtle Cay in April and was wanting some feedback on wind, kite sizes and other tips about this cay.

Thanks,

Clew In

Eddie Toy took a group over there recently. His write up on the trip appears at:

He has video and quite a bit more info at:

Interestingly enough he is running his next trip there this April.

I've spent some time nearby on Elbow Cay in the Abacos, visited Guana, MOW Cay and toured through the southern Sea of Abaco. There is no end of good launches there with both calmer water and wave venues there. You could spend a long time riding there. Not so sure about the winds in April. There are some realtime and wx forecast sites there thanks to Barometer Bob, http://barometerbob.com/

You could get in touch with a kiter in the Bahamas forum on the FKA site who lives on nearby Guana Cay for input on kite sizes and wind prospects.

Have a great trip!
