THE KITESURFING SPOTS OF THE GRENADINES

Union island and the Grenadines count some of the best and most beautiful kitesurfing spots of the Caribbean with amazing wind conditions from November to July.

Union island at the heart of the Grenadines has three of the best kitesurfing spots with the option to kite right out of your door when you stay with the JT Pro Center or one of our partner hotels.

It is also super easy to fly to Union island with daily flights from the island of Barbados and St Lucia, check out our How To get here page for more info.

The only other three Kitesurfing spots of the whole Grenadines are located only at a 15min boat ride away from our Kitesurfing center and easily accessible with some of our day or half day Kitesurfing trips and downwind excursions.

Please note that there are several restrictions on several of the Kitesurfing spots of the Grenadines and that beginners must take Kitesurfing lessons with the JT Pro Center to learn safely in the Grenadines.

THE TOBAGO CAYS

The Tobago Cays experience is a must when visiting the Grenadines wiht one of our full day kite trip experience.

Here you are guaranteed to see big turtles when snorkeling, in addition to a rich sea life, beautiful fish of all colours and sizes, and majestic rays floating by.

Kitesurfing in the Tobago Cays is an amazing experience: it is a beautiful, huge lagoon of the clearest shades of blue but very choppy and not very fun for freestyle or jumping.

You must launch your kite from James By. The wind is on shore and much weaker on the beach so be careful when launching your kite. You can also lunch from Petit Tabac where you need to be careful with the reef.

It is forbidden to launch from Baradal (the sandy island where the turtle watching is located) and it is also not allowed to kite between the sailboats anchored.

A great way to go back to Union is to go downwind by your kite if you have a very good level.

Nothing is quite like Morpion. A small island of sand in the middle of the sea, surrounded by protective reef located at a 15min Speed boat ride away from the JT Pro Center.

A lonely umbrella provides the only shadow on Morpion. The spot isn’t the best as the reef surrounding it is very close to the island making it very shallow at low tide and very small but everyone must see this sandy island once in their life. It is a great place to start a downwinder back to JT Pro Center by South East winds.
If other people present on the islands kiteboarders must respect swimmers and other people on the beach as this island is also visited by families and tourists. It is not recommended to launch your kite when other people are present.
