Event #7. Saturday December 6th 9:30am
Fourth National Open Event
Lighthouse Surfing Beach Palisadoes, Kingston.

The island of Jamaica, situated in the north western Caribbean Sea, seems an unlikely place for surfing to develop. Cut off from the large southward moving swells of the north Atlantic by it's larger neighbours  Cuba and Hispanola, Jamaica seems trapped in the middle of the tiny, tranquil, Caribbean Sea, with very little potential for receiving good surfing waves, except maybe for when a hurricane passes by, which could provide a good swell, or be all blown out, or even worse....blow the whole freakin island away! However, under closer scrutiny we find that this is definitely not the case! The truth is..... Jamaica is blessed with an eight month surf season with the remaining four months of flat time broken up into short one or two week spells. This provided the perfect raw material for the development of Jamaican surfing.
