Windsurfing

Belize is a perfect place to indulge in the fabulous sport of windsurfing. The Cayes have it all, flat water created by the reef and the constant onshore/sideshore wind provide an ideal location for the beginner to try a first lesson or take a course. For the intermediate it is fantastic for blasting and chop hopping. Runs of 10 miles plus are possible on either tack; perfect for practicing waterstarts and carve gybes. The water below is so clear that you can see fish and stingrays and it is not unusual to see dolphins as you sail. For the more experienced sailor, there are several wave sites and of course access to the swells of the big blue. The windy season is historically February through April where the trades provide wind of 11 to 17 knots and above 70% of the time. The rest of the year expect at least 2 or 3 6.0 days per week.
