After Hurricane Beryl
On July 1st, 2024, a strong Category 5 hurricane called Beryl hit Union Island and nearby islands,
causing a lot of damage.
Since then, the island has gotten a lot of help and is starting to look much better.
Our kiteboarding center in Frigate was hit hard by Beryl, and the landscape has completely changed.
But the HappyKite team has cleaned up the beach and kite spot,
we’ve already started giving kiteboarding lessons again.
The Frigate Kiteboarding spot is now OPEN, and we’re FULLY OPERATIONAL!
The HappyKite Loft boat was damaged, but we plan to have the floating loft back in the water
by early 2025. It will offer sushi, drinks and breakfast.
