Windsurfing, Kiteboarding & Surfing
The steady trade winds that moderate tempera-
tures here also make windsurfing and
kiteboarding a lot of fun. Called boardsailing
here, windsufing is very popular. On weekends,
St. Thomians flock to their favorite beaches to
practice or race. Windsurfers can be rented at resort hotel's
watersports centers and at many beaches. Kiteboarding is
newer and not as easy to find.
Windsurfers should head to the island's eastern shore.
Sap-
phire Beach
,
Great Bay Beach
and
Smith Bay
are favor-
ite spots.
Morning Star Beach
at Frenchman's Reef is
another popular place.
Kiteboarding is most popular at
Vessup Beach
near Red
Hook. The watersports center here rents equipment and
gives lessons.
