That sounds familiar. Up north in BVI and St. Martin, the best winds are in the winter, the Christmas winds. In BVI anyway they can become fairly fitful and non-trade like in the summer. Went through two HiHo's there with on and off trades. It was largely off in St. Martin in October. Moving a bit further down, Antigua was pretty good in July aside from disruptions from the odd tropical system. I've never been this far SE in the Caribbean. I was hoping that the same latitudes just above South America that serve up those excellent winds for the ABC islands largely year round aside from August and September and the odd tropical system hiccup might extend east into the Windward Islands. May have to incur some extra baggage charges to bring my lightwind board, a UG 150 cm XXXL.

Thanks for the advice. Where was your favorite spot there for riding, the Tobagos?
