Here's a great video of Andre Phillip (Cabrinha team rider) and friends living large and kitesurfing at the exotic Caribbean locations of Antigua and Barbuda.

Cape Paterson - not enough wind
Session 38.
I visited my friend Simon staying at the Cape Paterson caravan park. I took my kite gear hoping for to kitesurf either at Inverloch or at the Cape itself.
The main beach has a gently surf and a nice reef at the western end. The breeze seemed OK on Saturday afternoon so Simon helped me launch my 14m kite.
But there was not enough wind. I was able to get out a bit and come back, but could not go upwind. After a couple of walks back along the beach, with bemused lifesavers peering down from their club house, I packed up.
I had a similar session on Sunday, but this time the promising breeze vanished as I got on the water, so I blew in to the beach just short of the rocky reef section to the east.
It is a nice spot, but not really suitable for beginnners.
Here is the satellite location map:
