That is one great looking place and operation Mike! What did you shoot that with a GoPro on a mini-steadycam setup? Looks good. Here are some more shots Mike passed on to me from Guanaja, Honduras. The island is close to Roatan, Honduras and not so far off the mainland. Just far enough to seem very far away.




A view of the island and all that reef and clear blue water.




Guanaja is just to the east of Roatan.

Annabel Van Westerop, Brandon Bowe and other kiters spent a week with the Sweet Spot at this excellent destination. Annabel created this video from the experience ...

Default Great summer season

We have had a great first season in Honduras with over 75% of the days with wind over 15 knots. We also had some great guest, clinics and camps thanks to the people that came to visit. Along with pro riders Damien Leroy, Annabel Van Westerop, Brandon Bowe and Jan Gianello.

The wind started early this year as we had great wind from February, and it is still blowing strong into August. Most afternoons we see wind in the high 20knot range.

We offer something for everybody whether you like flat water, waves or just cruising long distances. Plus we have 3 different types of accommodations that offer a variety or rooms and rates.

If the wind doesn't blow, there is plenty to do as well.... from diving, snorkeling, SUP, kayaking, hiking and boat tours around the island. Each activity is unbelievably beautiful

Here is a video of the action this summer:

Hope to see you there someday

Mike just told me about this amazing video shot in part with a Quadcopter chasing kiters around the place. It does a marvelous job of showing you the beauty and dynamics of Guanaja.
