The Big Blue Expo 2012 was the perfect start to our year. Our event was held at the OPUS bar and grill. The Expo showcasing our team and products and our BIG BLUE SHORT FILM, it was well attended by our friends and partners through the islands and across the tourist sector. Prizes for contributions towards ECOTOURISM were awarded to our unsuspecting partners from the sister islands of North Caicos, Middle Caicos and Parrot Cay. Susan Butterfield, Lawrence “Big Mac” Campbell, Cardinal Arthur, Danny Forbes & Sara Kaufmann (middle co-op), JD Thomson and Parrot Cay resort and spa. Many of you who have been with us know our team up north and their awards were well earned through their hard work and dedication.
When not teaching Wes (our kite instructor) is out there riding the perfection that can be found in the TCI.
Last week 20 + knots blew in from the south east and opened up a whole host of stashes. The second Go Pro is on its way and soon Wes and Philip will be coming at ya from all angles.
Long term Big Blue Unlimited team member Lynn Robinson goes bald to raise awareness for breast cancer.
Lynn let her actions speak louder than words in more ways than one by shaving her hair off to raise cash and awareness for breast cancer.
Lynn is a diamond boat caption and scuba instructor. We are proud to call her one of our own and this year she raised the bar. Congratulations Lynn!
Our first official kiteboarding safari down winder was an instant success. Lead by Philip and Wes with local Naish and Blue Rider Hope Le Vin in the mix. We were joined by David Zingg of MA, John Lalley of Ca, Marc of…and Jim Welsh of the Yukon. Leaving North Caicos at around 9am with a good eaterly breeze we arrived at Leeward 3-4 hours later. No hitches no snags. Beautiful smooth water all the way. The stoke factor was huge. We look forward to seeing our guests back again.
This season also sees us bring Stand Up Paddle boarding to the islands. A fast growing sport the world over, Big Blue is perfectly located to offer our guests adventures through the mangroves guided or unguided. An awesome work out, they are already attracting lots of attention.
