Beat the Drum and Dance Again

For exploratory surf travel, Haïti is one of the most exciting countries to experience in the Caribbean.

Her uncrowded waves, rugged coastline, thriving informal economy, decorated taptap buses, Creole wit, grace, artistic energy, religious expressiveness in vodou and laughter cannot be extinguished even in the face of adversity, and often come knocking at night playing tunes on bones and whistling dark melodies.

Here is a country rich in spirit, rough, resilient, ironic and brave—a place where people confirm the simple joy of being alive. If you have visited Haïti you will understand how this place inspires passion. It is a love like experience—unpredictable, unmissable.

And when you get home you know you’ll be struck by an outpouring of emotion for the place, missing it badly, your heart going out to those still suffering from the effects of the earthquake and cholera outbreak.
