Atlantis is found! If you are looking for where the super rich spend their money. Look no further. I have never seen so many 200' yachts in my life. They just completed a 2 billion dollar waterpark. 100 acres big.

Here are some treats to make driving the desk bearable. What a way to start the new year. More pics to come.

Oh yeah, I was the only one kiting. Nice to have the place to myself.

Oh yeah, the single slide turns into a tube that goes thru a Shark filled aquarium. The tube is about 100' long.

Nice Julia!!

Yah, Stuart has it dialed!

Here's a shot I took on a Stuart Cove dive when we were down there a few years back. Color is not so great (old school 35mm)...

Three good nine meter days. Otherwise the flags were a constant Sauvies.... You could have ridden everyday. A 12 and surf or glide would have been great.

The down side is its wickedly expensive.

Actually its kind of freaky kiting alone. You always wonder if everyone else knows something you don't! Like it maybe its feeding time...

Fun Pics - Really like the sharky smooch!

That spot is unreal - where were all the beach goers - there is usually a nice contingent of topless eurobabes - not that I noticed (hate it when you get called out by the lifeguards - stupid drooling american please step away from the eurobabes)

Well thats because the Atlantis does not allow non-guests onto their property.

I am sure other kiters would love to go there if they could.

Send the wind back to us!
