Is there good surf in Turks and Caicos?
Yes there is. There are barrier reefs on the outer cays that are completely exposed to Northeast ground swells (which are very common during winter). there is a reef pass on one of the outer islands (I'm not gonna give up the exact location) that might be the best wave in the Caribbean. When I was there during the March 2008 swell, it was a solid 6-8 feet, and looked like it belonged in the Indian or the south Pacific.

What ages are the Wave and Wave Ripple street surfing boards intended for?
the wave ripple is for really little kids like under the age of 8. but really anyone can ride the regular the wave. i know kids who are 6 and have ridden and i know adults who have ridden it.
well it is very simple the board floats and that gives you height in the water to paddle then the speed of the wave keeps you on it.
heres a word, kook: surfers who have no respect, and thus deserve no respect, drop in on others and snake you. basically what you would call a person that doesnt belong. surfers with no proper etiquitte, and surfers that show up at territorial beaches like windansea and think they can just come in and surf every wave cuz they have a bigger board. also people that are on the internet trying to find cool words. dropping in: when two people are paddling for the same wave (very common) if the person deeper into the wave actually catches the wave, then he has the right of way, if the person in front, or not as deep in the wave, doesnt get off that wave a.s.a.p then that would be considered very rude and disrespectfull. just dont do it...its so freakin annoying. snaking: when someone is in a good place to catch a wave, but then another person from a worse spot comes over to catch that wave and knowingly cuts the other person off. this is THE WORST THING you can do while surfing a localized area, or anywhere. this will get people to talk about you and wana punch you in the face, again just dont do it. also if you want people to know that you know what your talking about, get familiar with the most well known californian surf breaks, for example MAVERICKS, STEAMERS LANE, LOWER TRESTLES, SWAMIS, AND BLACKS (my home break).
