Kiteboarding in Aruba

Kiteboarding in Aruba

With a bit of landboarding too!

I've been keeping an eye on this guy's videos for a while. They're a little bit overly formulaic but always fun.

I was in Aruba on business two weeks ago. Daily forecast for the entire month was temps between 79-92 F and winds always 20-22mph. Kiteboarders dream though the beaches are only good on one side of the island as the other side is entirely volcanic which forces one to kiteboard on the offshore wind side of the island (at least at this time of year).

Never been there but I've heard it is also one of the most expensive places to go compared to basically all other carribean locations.

Too many kites, boards, and etceteras.
