I posted up some details about Cape Town.
If anyone would like to contribute something similar for the popular destinations eg Perth, Maui, Hood etc I would gladly edit it together using a similar format to the above.

Los Barilles, MX
LA Ventana , MX
Just had an amazing trip to these two destinations. There is a small dw crew representing both spots.
Shuttling is provided by local businesses.
A fun and challenging variety of conditions between both locals.
In La Ventana I was mainly running from Playa Rastas to Ventana Windsports. Light to medium conditions. Try https://www.blackurchinlv.com for shuttling.
Los Barilles the runs were Buenavista to the Bay View Bar and Grill south of town in LB. I’d heard people were running Buenavista to Buena Vista but I missed that. I also started from Playa Norte a few times. Easy to thumb a ride on a quad up. Conditions were medium to heavy ocean rollers. Check out www.buenavistakiteboarding.com or Mac Skaggs for shuttling.

I’ve got 5 months in La Ventana for the 24/25 season, it looks great and I can’t wait. I’ll have my car with me too so looking forward to exploring the area. I’ll have my kite foil, wing foil, DW gear, and maybe even my MTB with me. It’s going to be epic.

Here in cancun it blows from late October til April… several wind directions ranging from N, NE, E, and SE offer a variety of runs…
The dw community is building here and shuttles are available.
The most common run is 7k (bay run), and proves to be super safe, and since it blows all day u can do as many runs as your body can handle.
Plus no wet suit and bad ass water !

Mentioned on the podcast, the HiHo windsurf regatta. Basically offseason charter a captained catamaran as accommodation for a week long downwind island hopping “rally” through the BVIs…
Is this the best race format possible? Would suit me absolutely perfectly.
https://www.sailmagazine.com/racing/hiho-regatta
One of the world’s premier water sports events is the 26-year old Highland Spring HIHO, a seven-day windsurfing adventure and stage race that visits multiple islands in the British Virgin Islands. [more]The 2010 event, set for June 26-July 4, starts and finishes at the Moorings resort marina on Tortola.
Inter-Island racing is one of the features that attracts windsurfers from all over the world (last year’s field included entrants from 14 countries). Starting at the Moorings resort property on Tortola, the Highland Spring HIHO fleet sprints up to the top of the BVI’s, then spends the week coming back downwind. Racers can expect to cover nearly 100-miles of racing as they wind their way through the British Virgin Islands.
A fleet of captained Moorings catamarans serves as mobile homes for all participants. Along the way it covers and stops at Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Eustatia, Bellamy Cay, Peter Island, Cooper Island, Sandy Cay (National Park), Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke and Little Thatch, and features world class sailing and boarding plus great parties at every stop.
Boat+skipper = $650 per person for 7 days straight downwinding!*
€2,450+3774 = €6224/10
*need to get the boats back obviously, but surely not hard
Anyone know anything about this area?
10 people per boat a guaranteed shitshow?
Windy/hurricane season?
