bahama dreamin'

shastadogs2 · Since 28 Mar 2005 336 Posts Obsessed

okay, i admit its not a bad fix to be in, but my sis is having a birthday party at cable beach in the bahamas in december and having the whole clan come over. i am wondering, can i get a ride in?

info on riding in the bahamas is hard to come by for some reason. locals not wanting to mob the place out? sketchy winds? it sure isnt because of the ugly chicks or scenary.

the hardest thing to figure out is where the frick people ride. does anyone have any experience with riding in the bahamas? can i ride off cable beach or do i have to chase around the islands looking for a launch? is there wind in december, reliably?

any help is apreciated, thanks in advance.

THis spot on Paradise Island - not far from Cable beach was pretty magical - the Atlantis Casino gobbled up the spot since I was there but you probably could sneak past security and setup shop

Definitely stay at Atlantis if you want to use their "private" beaches - security is pretty tight. I dare someone to kite across the shark enclosures. Very Happy
