点评:I am writing a review regarding kitesurfing in Saint Barthelemy, in part because it was difficult for me to find information about the location. I am an experienced kiter and have kited at many locations in the Caribbean and elsewhere (Bonaire being my favorite). I traveled to Saint Barthelemy in December 2025 for a birthday celebration with others who were not kiteboarders (and as an aside, the island is a wonderful place to have a celebration, with outstanding beach clubs and restaurants). Based on limited available information on the web, and the need to take a small plane from Sint Maarten to get to Saint Barthelemy, I decided to rent rather than take my gear. On a positive note, the rental company that I worked with in Saint Barthelemy was very helpful and accommodating. On the other hand, the wind was not consistent, and was typically gusty (despite comments from the web that December was a usually a good month for wind). So I was not able to kite at all for the entire week that I was there (and did not see anyone kiting). In addition, the primary site (Grand Cul de Sac) had many anchored boats, which would have limited the space to kite. In addition, launching requires a drift launch. Overall, I would not recommend Saint Barthelemy as a reliable place for kiteboarding.
翻译:我写这篇关于圣巴泰勒米岛风筝冲浪的评论,部分原因是很难找到关于这个地方的信息。我是一位经验丰富的风筝冲浪者,曾在加勒比海和其他地方的许多地方玩过风筝冲浪(博内尔岛是我最喜欢的地方)。2025年12月,我和一些不会风筝冲浪的朋友一起去圣巴泰勒米岛庆祝生日(顺便说一句,这个岛屿是庆祝生日的绝佳地点,拥有非常棒的海滩俱乐部和餐厅)。由于网上信息有限,而且需要从圣马丁岛乘坐小型飞机才能到达圣巴泰勒米岛,所以我决定租用装备而不是自带。值得一提的是,我在圣巴泰勒米岛合作的租赁公司非常乐于助人,也很周到。但另一方面,风力并不稳定,而且经常是阵风(尽管网上说12月通常是风力不错的月份)。因此,我在那里的整整一周都没能玩上风筝冲浪(也没看到其他人玩)。此外,主要场地(Grand Cul de Sac)停泊着许多船只,这会限制风筝冲浪的空间。而且,下水需要漂流。总而言之,我不推荐圣巴泰勒米岛作为可靠的风筝冲浪地点。
