Steve Howes, partner and instructor at Surf School BVI gave me the following update. “Irma tossed our storage container several hundred yards inland, but miraculously most of the boards inside survived what must have been a wild ride!”, said Steve. “The container has been moved back beachside and we are back in business for the 2017/2018 season”, he added. So if you’re in the BVI and want to try surfing, get yourself over to Josiah’s Bay and catch a wave with Surf School BVI.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
