Any windsurfing on Paradise Island, Bahamas?

Any windsurfing on Paradise Island, Bahamas? A friend is bumming as he will
be at the Atlantis but cannot find any windsurfing outfit to rent from
Thanks
Dennis

Dennis,
I was there two years ago and there was no decent equipment to be had. The
club med had some old stuff and one GO board, but they wouldn't rent the GO
since they used it for instruction/rescue. Two years ago, the Bahamas were
NOT the place to windsurf.

The Bahamas unfortunately do not have the steady trade winds that you
get in the Caribbean. Beautiful water, but the winds are not that
great. If you are going for at least a week, bring a 6.0 / 6.5 and a
big 100 liter board or a big kite. Otherwise, just plan on diving and
doing other water sports. If you have the time, take a speedboat ride
to the Exumas.
