Spent December 12 to January 12 in Cozumel, Mexico. Winds were a little light at first, but great in January. On average, out of 7 days, at least 5 had good wind in the 12-20+ mph range. Since it is an island, you can always drive to one side where the wind is blowing the right direction. My favorite spot is the lagoons on the North end of the island. I am new to this and it was great. Used my 10 M Cabrina Switchblade on good wind days and a 13 M Cabrina Nomad on slow wind days. Adrian at Cozumel Kite Boarding is a great source of information. Did a downwinder one day with some friends on a boat and it was unbelievable as we road the waves on the wide open Caribbean. Good surf on the east side for those looking for waves (my next step). Great spot for a kiteboarding vacation. Seems like at least half of the kiters there are from Canada, met a couple of folks from England and France, some Texas and California riders, and some great locals.
