Can you rent kite gears in Cuba

Postby tringlarido » Wed Oct 14, 2015 7:55 pm

Hi,

I'm going to cuba next january.
I'm wondering if I can easily rent there.

I read lots of pots that it's difficult to do so.

I found only these that mention rental
http://www.kite-cuba.com/en/spot.php
http://www.varaderoguide.net/watersport ... rfing.html

Is it worth to rent over there ? or better not yet rent in cuba yet ?

thanks

Dude... they don't even have bacon to serve half the time.... Onions are often scarce.
They only gear Cubans have access to is the gear that is left for them by visitors and they have virtually no access to repair kits etc...
There are a few people that travel to Cuba to take advantage of an underground economy providing lesson trips and such, but I don't think you want to use that gear either.
Its very easy to travel with your own gear.

Did you have any luck renting in Cuba? I'm going in April and would love rent gear to get a day of kiting in, but I won't be able to travel with my own gear.
