Exploring Paradise: Surfing in the Cayman Islands

The day begins with the rhythmic crash of tiny waves as I find myself training in the lap of nature. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes in a crystal-clear swimming pool, surfing in the Cayman Islands offers the perfect backdrop for preparing my mind and body for the upcoming big wave season so far and different from what I’m used to in Nazare. The synergy of ocean, sun, and secrets unfolds as I prepare for the adventures that lie ahead.

Nautical Exploration: Stingray City and Kaibo’s Mudslide Delight

Embarking on a boat trip combined with wake surfing and foiling that circumnavigates the entire North Sound, Mike Ryan and I set our sights on the famed Stingray City. Here, we share the water with majestic stingrays, which is surprisingly scary, especially as they brush you and check you out, hoping for an easy meal as many tourists feed them here, creating memories that will last a lifetime. A pit stop at Kaibo restaurant adds a touch of indulgence, sipping on the signature “mudslide” while taking in the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. 

Silverfin’s Vision: Fin and Beyond

As we cruise along, we can’t resist checking out Mike Ryan’s latest masterpiece – Silverfin’s development, FIN Grand Cayman. The architectural brilliance seamlessly blends luxury with the natural beauty of the Cayman Islands. Intrigued, we also glimpse the next project on the horizon, eager to see how it will shape this tropical paradise.

Beneath the Waves: Freediving in West Bay

Venturing into West Bay, we immerse ourselves in the world beneath the waves. Freediving reveals the hidden wonders of Cayman’s vibrant marine life and another great training session for the big wave season ahead. After the underwater exploration, visiting “Vivo Café” provides a delightful snack, connecting us with the local flavors in this slice of paradise.

Luxurious Landscape Stroll with Mike’s Dog Squid

Winding down the day, Mike introduces me to his loyal companion, Squid. We take a leisurely walk through luxurious landscapes, reflecting on the synergy between nature and Silverfin’s developments. The connection between man, dog, and the island’s beauty paints a picture of serenity that defines life in the Cayman Islands.

Surfing in the Cayman Islands

Training, sun-soaked adventures, and the unveiling of Cayman’s secrets – this journey with Mike Ryan and Silverfin transcends the ordinary. The Cayman Islands, with their luxury developments, pristine waters, and hidden gems, truly stand as a testament to the magic that awaits those willing to explore.
