email from Ben Findlay of Caribbean KiteSurfari...
hi ken,
Anguilla has some goodies, St Martin (crowded), St Baths (good waves), Guadaloupe (sick spots allover, check it on www.wannasurf.com ) almost forgot the bahamas, so many sick places too list, eluthera and elbow key in abaco we enjoy alot.
Martiniques east coast, Green island in Antigua, St lucia has Cas en Bas and sandy beach not far away from yacht harbours but you cant kite right off the boat in st lucia, yet still worth checking out the spots.
The Grenadines have some great spots, i have put a couple of my favourites on the kitebeaches website.
One important thing is a good dinghy, at least 10ft hard bottom rib with minimum 15hp to get around places (good place to buy one if needed is in st martin......all duty free), not just for kiting but snorkling and exploring too.
Hope this is of some help, if you want more details just ask.
keep in touch, let me know when you're down here next season, we shall be here for sure

Very cool. As coincidence would have it, we have a 10 RIB with a 15 HP. I am planning to bring one with a high pressure inflatable floor instead. I may actually have two with inflatable floors.
Ken I noticed in Ben's photos that he seemed to be towing a high pressure inflatable floor (airdeck) dinghy, but he recommended an RIB. This gives that much more creedence to his recommendation for an RIB, since he wil know the pitfalls of the airdeck. As you know, the plan if for us to bring an airdeck, specifically an AMI advanced Cat, which is much like a Zodiac Futura.
Would you feel confortable asking him about that choice? Or would it be better for me to contact him, and introduce myself as your friend?
