Hi,
I'm planning to go to Bermuda with my friends for this weekend.
Where is the good spot for kiting there?
And where is the good place to stay?
Thanks very much!

Re: Kiting in Bermuda this weekend
Bermuda is my home but I haven't lived there for 14 years and took up kiting since but shhhh- have windsurfed all over the Island in private places few have seen let alone sailed. Including in 10-12' seas 10 miles offshore (North Rock) where the outer reef breaks over waist deep water.
But if the wind is broadly NE to SW Elbow/Coral Beach is a good bet but you'll need crowd control on a this long w/e. Same with Horseshoe Bay. Don't kill anyone.
Same with Hungry Bay in a West- very small and compact must be difficult to kite there but I hear some do. I'd use a bigger kite on shorter lines.
N-NW would be Somerset Long Bay- much more open and shallow out about 100 yds.
There is highly toxic Fire Coral out there (ask me how I know) so watch where you put yer feet down.
Let us know how it goes.
