Beach Picture.
Welcome to St Barth, French West Indies
Anguilla by plane, on my way to St barth
Tropical Beach Picture. My friend Harold Quinquis, Pro Kiter invite me for few days in Saint-Barthélémy, French Island so closed from St Martin and so different. Harold decided to make a DVD with the best of Kite, Surf and windsurf from this small tropical paradise in April.
The French Island of St. Barts (also known as St. Barthelemy or St. Barth's) is one of the more exclusive islands of the Caribbean, a popular relaxing vacation spot of many movie celebrities and rock stars. The landscape is characterized by green rolling hills (highest top: 938 ft, Morne du Vitet), and 22 fabulous beaches, some only accessible by foot.
Surfing can be practised in quite a number of bays in Saint-Barthélemy, but only a few of them are shaped to produce the beautiful rolling waves with a crest of foam that the young copper-skinned, straw-haired surfers prefer: Toiny, Lorient, Anse des Cayes and Saint-Jean. It is a whole way of life. If you would like to try, the equipment is for rent in a few specialized shops, and they can find someone to guide you through your first ride.
