From the December, 2007 issue of Outside:
UNTIL RECENTLY, IT WAS SCUBA DIVERS who salivated ov
er the turquoise waters and Technicolor reefs. But recently, kiteboarders have discovered the Turks and Caicos—a 166-square-mile archipelago in the eastern Caribbean—and it’s fast becoming a hallowed destination for world-class riding. During the winter, cold fronts rolling across the lower 48 arm-wrestle with the prevailing trades blowing from the east. A deadlock ensues, and that puts the squeeze on, blasting the Turks and Caicos from January to May with buttery-smooth winds. Bathwater-warm seas let you leave the wetsuit at home, and its proximity to the North Atlantic ensures there’s always a swell if you have an appetite for big surf.
The Kitehouse is a full-service international kiteboarding outfitter run by pro Paul Menta. Full-day lessons from $300.
Menta loves houseguests. An upscale suite at his new villa runs from $150 a day, including gear.

You’re right - the first time I saw these waters I couldn’t get over the color and how clear they were. Booked in at the nearest scuba center and dived straight in. An absolute fabulous area to dive
I’m sure it’s gonna be a great place out there. Thanks for sharing this.
