ANTIGUA – CARIBBEAN DREAM The office phone rings, it’s JC, ‘’Caribbean Dream’’, ‘I’m sorry what JC?’’, ‘’Caribbean Dream!’’, ‘’Isn’t that a song from the ‘80s by Billy Ocean?’’, ‘’ No that’s ‘Caribbean Queen!’’, ‘’Ok, but this better not be another story about you in a Caribbean paradise that is family friendly, flat water, perfect trade winds and you and your mate ‘Downwind Dave’ sinking lagers after a perfect day on the water. ‘’It’s not, promise, I swear; well actually it is but this time it’s in Antigua not St Lucia and Dave went upwind this time’’, ‘’This is a wind up right?’’, ‘’No honest, he went upwind!’’. At that point we were all set to put the phone down when, sensing his imminent departure from the payroll, JC pinged over the pics and reminded us why he is the best in the business. Beautiful Azure waters and truly a ‘Caribbean Dream’, JC brings us the lowdown on Antigua, a freeride destination to take your breath away.
