Looking For the Perfect Option
Chaser:
Ok. So I am more of a lurker than a poster here on the Zone (except during CCBC season), but I know the vast knowledge that exists within the Zone will point me in the right direction.
Contemplating a trip with a group of friends (couples) within the next year to celebrate some milestone birthdays & anniversaries and I want to steer the group to a location where I can surf/SUP daily with ease.
We are looking at 3-4 nights and are all east coasters (Boston)
The perfect situation would be:
- 2-4 hour flight from Boston (ideally direct options)
- Relatively upscale accommodations with golf & spa for the non-surf crew
- Good restaurants close by
- Breaks at or near the resort
- Decent SUP rental options nearby
Any recommendations/help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

No doubt someone who has been there will chime in, but Turks and Caicos seems to be a pretty amazing place with some great SUP options. Think a few zoners have done the Kalama Kamp there in the past.

Sounds like Rincon PR to me.

Turks and Caicos is nice but the surf is iffy. We had fun, and the crew was great, we even had some good surf, but I think it's chance-y, or at least season-dependent. The best surfing is out on the barrier reefs--which means you need a boat to get there. the beach stuff is generally reform, I think. Lots of high-end accommodations, good beach restaurants, and if you go, don't miss the fish fry, da Conch Shack, and Bugaloos. Coco Bistro is expensive but worth it. Get reservations.
Paddling around in the Mangroves was cool, especially when we got lost and it became a sprint to get to the boat before it got totally dark. I think the golf and spa set would like it, the surfers could get skunked.
Best bet, suck up the long travel time and go to Maui. Come in November or later and I'll drag you around to all the fun stuff.

I'll let you know how this goes....http://www.sandals.com/main/barbados/bd-home/.......longer flight but still direct and surf options are abundant. Plenty of places to rent boards and they have all kind of water sports there. Though no water skiing at this one unfortunately. They have group specials if there are enough of you. http://www.sandals.com/groups/group-specials/
I'm not golfing but this is nearby.
