Oil and water. Cats and dogs. Surfing and Haiti. On the surface, these three pairs would seem simpatico. Prior to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, they really were. Thanks to a handful of surfer-dude disaster relief workers, though, Haiti has recently risen to represent the new frontier of surfing in the Caribbean. A few years ago, I took a trip down to Cayes-Jacmel to see Haiti’s new surf community for myself. I was staying at the Marriott Port-au-Prince, a few hours drive away. If I’d known of the surf shacks along the beach here, though, I would’ve booked a few nights in Cayes-Jacmel to see/enjoy more of the surf.
