Sadly this safari was written many years ago and the photos to go with it have been lost in the internet black hole many tides ago:

The Caribbean

Montserrat, Trindad and Tobago
Three pictures feature grey skies, grey sea, grey beach and grey 'dogbones'. No, not the Marina in December, but Montserrat. The greyness is due to an active volcano belching ash and smoke, visible from the line - up. I'd borrowed a board from a longtime US resident who'd only ever used it to wakeboard (in the 70s). It was a 6' single fin, all red - sweet.

There are no surfers on the island now, though 2 Montserratians now live on the N Shore and surf when they visit. The break is on the western side of the island and the wind is constantly offshore.

The day before it was much bigger, allegedly (story of my life).

The other pictures show some of the potential of Trindad and Tobago - a point/reef break in Tobago that was voted no14 in the world (don't name it), and a big wave spot in Trinidad near the NE tip.

Both work best in the Dec - March season, though Panic Point also works at other times. Both of these were taken by Kim.
