Join Downunder owner Kim Beaumont

for a week in the sun with her HIHO mates

January 22-29, 2012

Escape to the British Virgin Islands for a winter respite and enjoy some of the best SUPing in the Caribbean, with your Downunder friends.  Free instruction included for those of you just getting into the sport; tips, techniques and challenges for the rest!  Or just lay back and enjoy living aboard a captained yacht and being spoiled silly. 

Daily paddle sessions will include flat water gunkholing to the many different bays & islands, plus downwinders, sunset paddles and, if conditions permit, maybe some wave riding. 

And of course we'll always find time for some shopping, massages, yoga, and R&R.  Consider adding on a few days for this, and/or visiting US Virgin Islands.

We'll be boarding the yachts at Trellis Bay which is adjacent to the Beef Island airport.  Then head up to the North Sound on Virgin Gorda for a couple of days.  If weather permits we’ll head over to Anegada.  Other stops include Jost Van Dyke and the islands on the Sound side of Tortola including Peter, Norman and Cooper Islands.  The week long trip will combine visits to some of the BVI’s best known destinations, including the Bitter End and the Soggy Dollar Bar, plus out-of-the-way spots that only locals, like your guides, know.

The week long event includes per person double cabin accommodations aboard a captained catamaran, SUP gear, guide, cruising tax and HIHO swag. Included are 5-dinners, plus 6-breakfasts and lunches.  $2,999 per person, based on double occupancy. 

The boats will be stocked with plenty of Highland Spring Water and Ting.  (All other drinks are the responsibility of the participants).  Please note that breakfast is made aboard the yachts with provisions we supply.  HIHOers are expected to help cook and clean-up.

Extra’s for the week will be limited to meal cost for 2-dinners, happy hour drinks & snacks and gratuity for your captain.  (Pre and post event accommodations and transfers and departure tax are also not-included).

Check out the annual June HIHO event for an idea of the fun they have down under... in the BVI.
