Fanatic 2020 SUPs
The 2020 Neo remains true to its roots and its purpose in life.
Fantastic drifting abilities, responsive steering-powered or depowered, 4 and 5-line setup.
It's the go-to surf kite for all good and gonnabe-good wave riders looking to get the most out of every wave session.
Works well as a good kite for freeride and foiling kiteboarding.
– Great kite for Canterbury kiters who spend most of their kite on surf boards, but still want to foil & muck around on flat water. Easy relaunch, amazing drift & packing a punch for its size..
In 2019, Neo creator Ken Winner, made sure that this design never lost its central purpose of being the go-to surf kite for top level and hardcore wave riders like Airton Cozzolino, Matchu Lopes, Sebastian Ribeiro and Patri McLaughlin.
By tweaking and adjusting the minor details, he found the ultimate combination of power, turning, drift and intuitive bar […]
Fanatic release their 2020 Freeride / Freerace / Race / Foil boards for 2020.

– New 122, 135 & 148 models, re-tuned for even better speed, acceleration and early planing
– Increased length and parallel outline creates stability and planing support

– Larger planing surface to get you through lulls and gybes with ease
– Footstrap options for progression; from first time in the straps to advanced windsurfing.
– Flat deck transitioning into thinned out rails for the ultimate carving experience with a secure stance – LTD – Premium full PVC Biax Fibre technology / HRS – Durable High Resistance Skin technology
– Premium full PVC Biax Fibre technology / Durable High […]
Last year Dice creator, Ralf Grösel, redefined the design in order to improve looping and boosting abilities, especially within the smaller sizes.
The outcome was an incredible performer and exciting ride prepped for hardcore conditions and ready to go big.
The starting point for the development of the 2020 Duotone Dice was in Cape Town, South Africa.
I knew that the foundations of the design already delivered powerful, snappy, predictable and versatile characteristics to the Dice, but I wanted to take it to the next level.
Drawing on the Red Bull King of the Air event and the needs of Duotone Team rider Lasse Walker, my vision was to enhance its extreme performance throughout all of its parameters.
For the first time ever, I removed the pulley within the kite bridles.
This small change has a big impact on […]
Designed for purpose, driven by performance, the 2020 Vegas has been sharpened up through use of new materials and is the only choice for Freestyle and Wakestyle.
Inspired by our world class Freestyle / Wakestyle team, the 2020 Vegas offers everything for expert and highly skilled riders.
Time to unleash the beast – 2020 Duotone Vegas
The Vegas remains the most sold C shaped performance kite on the market ever.
A design inspired to take our team of world class riders to the top, 5 × World Champion and 2 × King of the Air Aaron Hadlow, our GKA competition team and GKA World Champion Mikaili Sol are dedicated to the Vegas.
Last year, Ralf's goal was to fine tune and balance the Vegas perfectly.
He achieved this fluently by tweaking small details like the wave patterns, patterns on the Leading Edge and updates in the tension settings between the Leading Edge […]

Fast and loose, the entire range has been re-shaped for 2020 to help you unleash your potential, no matter where you wavesail.
This year's board achieves the ultimate goal: vastly improved waveriding performance, without sacrificing any of the accessibility, speed and early planing.
Through subtle changes to the outline, tail width and bottom shape, the new Grip TE offers a new level of looseness and control – particularly in down the line conditions.
In short, it's the most versatile waveboard we've ever produced.
Sizes for 2020:
68 / 75 / 82 […]

The New HOT water sport is gaining momentum, wing foiling , or foil winging , or winging , not sure what to call it yet !
Duotone have been ahead of the game with their foil wing, a design that has been 3 years in the making, drawing from their experience in kiting & windsurfing, & using concepts from their successful Irig.
The Duotone foil wing is a piece of equipment that has been totally thought through, well tested, & aimed at the simplicity of having fun in a range of situations.
As they say, the proof is in use ! A group of us tried it from a variety of back rounds (kiting, windsurfing,surf, snow), & everyone was successfully in foiling/sailing with in 30mins.
So far most of the marketing and hype has skipped out […]
Boards & More launch the 2020 Duotone windsurf sail range.
Duotone Super Hero 2020
The SUPER HERO has simply everything:
low weight, quick responsiveness like a three-batten design and the stability of a 5-batten one.
The SUPER HERO's consistent evolution makes it an even better World Cup sail with an extremely wide range of use in the wave.
It continues to give a top-end performance even under the brutal conditions of locations such as the Canary Islands or South Africa, remaining under perfect control with high winds and during extremely overpowered jumps.
And yet it also boasts powerful acceleration capabilities at the lower wind limit, alongside an excellent on/off response, which would come in handy when participating in down-the-line surfing on Maui or Mauritius.
Key Features –
XPLY PLUS (100/150 microns): The laminate with the lowest stretchand the best UV and puncture resistance on the market.
NEW: TRI PLY foot panel (150 microns): The added […]

Awaiting His Coming
Mark 13:32 ¶ "But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mark 13:33 Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come.
Mark 13:34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.
Mark 13:35 Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn,
Mark 13:36 or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly.
Mark 13:37 And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake."
Discussion surrounding the return of Christ was common in the early church. Jesus was letting his followers know that they would be left in charge of the kingdom. The word "slave" is the same word that Paul uses over and over to describe his relationship to Jesus Christ — he is a servant/slave to Jesus Christ in a very positive and passionate sense. Paul's desire was to be completely sold out, belonging to Jesus Christ. This is our role as well, to be the ones who belong entirely to Jesus Christ and ire left in charge.
It is this idea of being left in charge that is particularly important in the lift of a Christ-follower. There is great responsibility and we are to be caring for the kingdom work, day in and day out. This is not a part-time job or something we do as a volunteer on the weekends. This is a full-time job, serving the Lord and keeping watch. We are to care well for the kingdom while he is gone for we never know when he will come.
Many people try to figure out when he will return but he says that no one knows — only the Father. So, who are we to try and figure that out? Instead, we are to be busy while we await his coming, keeping awake and caring for his house.
Throughout the centuries people have been awaiting the return of Jesus Christ. Surely he would come during the early persecutions when Nero was burning Christians as torches in his gardens! Or what about the Christians who were martyred in brutal public fashion — couldn't Jesus have come then? Christianity has had its ups and downs and there have always been those who have been faithfully standing guard — couldn't Jesus have come then? What about the great leaders throughout the centuries, — Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Palmer — couldn't those seasons of tumult within Christianity been times when Christ would have returned? And yet we continue to await his coming. Instead of being preoccupied with knowing the date of his coming, we must join with those who have gone before and become the faithful servants who are busy working and caring well for the kingdom. This is our responsibility, not worrying about the day or the time. Preoccupation with the date or time means we will not be busy with kingdom work when he returns — spiritually asleep. Remaining awake is a place of engagement within kingdom life.
Sometime surprising things happens when we remain engaged in kingdom life and await his return — suddenly we discover his coming. We see him in the beautiful rays of the morning. We hear him in the worship song playing from our mp3. He speaks to us through the card we receive from a friend in the mail and he is in the hug that we receive on the day in which we are feeling battered and beaten by life. Maybe his coming is not that distant!
We await his coming with great anticipation and we are blessed by the glimpses of the already/not yet kingdom in which we are actively engaged and joyfully working as his slaves.
Lord, thank you for your coming and help me to await and work faithfully. Amen.

Getting a second opinion
Finding a specialist and deciding on treatment can be difficult. You have the right to talk to more than one specialist to consider your treatment options or to confirm the recommended treatment. This is called a second opinion, and it may help reassure you that you have explored all of your options.
Learn more about:
Reasons for getting a second opinion
Reasons you may want to get a second opinion include:
- peace of mind
- ensuring you receive up-to-date advice and treatment
- getting a different point of view
- joining a clinical trial
- exploring and challenging advice from your first doctor
- not feeling at ease with your first doctor.
A second opinion may also be helpful for people who face a choice between high-risk treatment that has a chance of a better outcome, and treatment that has a lower risk with less likelihood for success.
Not everyone will want to get a second opinion. However, some people would like a second opinion but may not ask for one. This may be because they don't realise they can or because they don't want to upset the specialist they've already seen.
— Vivien
Finding another specialist
You can seek a second opinion by asking:
- your specialist – many are happy to recommend another doctor
- your GP – if you don't feel comfortable asking the specialist for a referral for a second opinion, you can go back to your GP
- treatment centre staff – one of the nurses at your treatment centre can give you a list of specialists who work at that location. Your GP can then write a referral to the specialist of your choice.
Seeking another opinion
- You have the right to ask for as many opinions as you like.
- Doctors aren't allowed to discriminate against people for requesting a second opinion.
- You don't have to tell your specialist that you are seeking a second opinion, but it might help if you do. Most doctors understand the value of a second opinion and are not offended. They may even be able to help you find someone.
- Some specialists who have a heavy workload don't accept patients for a second opinion.
- Second opinions can take time (to be referred to the new specialist and to get an appointment with them).
- Once you find someone to give you a second opinion, your first specialist should share your test results with them.
- If you are a public patient, you may only be allowed to be on a waiting list to see a specialist at one hospital at a time. Your doctor may also not be able to refer you to another specialist in the same hospital.
- You can get a second opinion even if you have started treatment. You might decide to be treated by the first doctor or you may prefer to be treated by the second specialist.

There's nothing quite like the delicious combo of coffee and vodka...
Espresso Martinis are probably one of the best inventions of all time, a drink dedicated to helping you relax yet also keep you awake – genius!
The delicious cocktail was invented by London bartender Dick Bradsell in the 1980s, when a customer was in need of 'something to wake you up and then (ahem) f*** you up,' and with that the moreish combination of espresso, coffee liqueur and vodka, the Espresso Martini was born.
Despite looking all fancy with its delicious foamy top, delicately scattered coffee beans and rich, dark liquid, it's actually pretty simple to make at home, and just needs a few basic ingredients. Once you've mastered the pick-me-up cocktail, we're also got a few tasty variations on the classic for you – prepare for caffeine overload!
Kahlúa coffee liqueur
espresso (or strong coffee)
sugar syrup*
*For perfect sugar syrup, simmer equal volumes of water and sugar in a pan, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Cool before using.
Recipe courtesy of Waitrose & Partners
1. Stir together the vodka, sugar, cloves, cinnamon and fresh ginger in a jug and chill for up to 24 hours until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Add the infused vodka to a shaker along with the ice cubes and the vermouth and shake well together. Strain into 2 small Martini glasses and serve each with a twist of orange peel.
Recipe courtesy of Waitrose & Partners
1. Chill your serving glass by filling it with ice and setting aside.
2. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, fill the shaker with ice, place the lid of the shaker on firmly and shake.
3. Remove the ice from the serving glass. Pour the liquid out of the shaker and strain into the chilled serving glass for a lovely frothy finish.
4. Top with three coffee beans and serve.

Reaching prisoners in Poland
For many years, Bible for the Nations has been involved in distributing the Biker Bible to prisons throughout Europe. In the Fall of 2018, Bible for the Nations will start a new project in Poland with the goal of reaching all the prisoners in Poland (ca. 80,000) with a Biker Bible. The first 10,000 have already been printed. The first outreach will be to prisons around the city of Poznan in the middle of October 2018.
There will also be a Women's Bible in Polish for all the women in Polish prisons (ca. 8,000). Also, the Jesus Storybook has been printed in Polish and the prisoners will have the opportunity to give their children the Jesus Storybook as a Christmas present.

There's so much to do and see while you're in Israel — and also a few things you'll need to get ready for before you go! Prepare for your adventure with BBYO Passport by reading this helpful guide below —and start getting excited for the journey that awaits!
Get Started
Bruchim HaBa'im!
You've made the decision to go to Israel, and we look forward to welcoming you!
As you may already expect, exploring Israel is quite unlike any other destination. As a country, Israel can be experienced on so many levels. As the birthplace of the Jewish People, Israel is an ancient land – full of archeological treasures with colorful stories to tell. Israel is the home of a modern Jewish State – with its multi-ethnic society, unique democratic traditions, and vibrant cultural life. At the meeting point of three continents, Israel hosts a breathtaking landscape ranging from alpine meadows, rolling mountains, desert canyons, sandy beaches, and tropical seas – all compressed within a tiny strip of land. Finally, Israel represents the heart of the Jewish religion – the object of prayer for millennia and the spiritual link connecting Jewish people to each other.
The Torah refers to Israel as the "Promised Land". This phrase can be interpreted literally, and it can also be understood as a Land of Promise – a beacon on the winding journey of the Jewish People towards a more perfect world. As you embark on your travels in the Land of Israel this season, it is our hope that you will uncover your own unique connections to this vision of a Promised Land.
The BBYO Passport Team

- Submitted all forms to your account: Physical Medical, Passport Information, Health History Questionnaire, Parent Waiver and Release of Liability, Teen Waiver and Release of Liability.
You will receive a separate guide for each program along with details on how the connection works.
BBYO is a teen leadership organization, and as such, we place great trust and responsibility on our teens. By agreeing to participate in the program, you are agreeing to abide by the terms of our Release Form and the BBYO Code of Conduct . We encourage you to review these conduct guidelines as a family before the start of the program:
Each group forms its own traveling community and the size of each group varies by program date. We will release more details approximately 3-4 weeks prior to our departure. In the meantime, we encourage you to join your program-specific Whatsapp group for either teens or parents. (Only teen participants will be accepted into the teen group.)The teen group is a great way to connect with fellow travelers before the program and beyond.
Please note: not all teens will join the group before the trip; therefore the group will not be a good representation of the number of teens on your program. Don't be afraid to start the conversation by introducing yourself to everyone!
Each group, with the exception of ILSI, is accompanied by a team of madrichim (counselors), an Israeli guide, a security/medical escort, and a dedicated bus driver. In Israel, senior staff circulates between the groups as well. Staff names are posted approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your departure, and you can expect a staff welcome call leading up to your departure!
ILSI is accompanied by a program director. Each ILSI bus will have two Israeli guides/educators, two madrichim (counselors), one security/medical escort, and a dedicated bus driver.
Standard accommodations are based on 2-4 teens per room with the same amount of sleeping accommodations. Every time we move to a new overnight location,
we will rotate rooming assignments to provide a better opportunity for our teens to get to know one another and promote group bonding.
- If you are participating in Israel Journey PLUS or Trek Israel PLUS the composition of your group will change during the electives week.
- Teens arriving to Israel from a separate BBYO Passport destination are usually integrated into a new program group in Israel – although we always keep the original connecting groups together.
- While on the road, you may also meet with other groups at different points.
The projected itinerary is announced 3-4 weeks prior to departure. Please note that even the confirmed itinerary will be subject to change on the ground. We will do our best to notify parents and teens in advance if necessary.
All meals provided on the program including those aboard the flights are Kosher. Teens with special dietary situations should make sure their medical dietary restrictions are reflected in their account information.
If possible, our group will make a stop at a grocery or convenience store. We recommend that teens pick up snacks and food for later on in the program. When traveling you may encounter new foods and not all may be to your liking. We ask teens to be flexible and have snacks and alternatives on hand just in case.
Shabbat is a special time and can be an amazing opportunity for rest and reflection. Friday nights and Saturdays will include prayer, informal discussions, and various Shabbat programming. When possible, we try to include visits to local synagogues to give teens a taste of how Judaism is observed locally. Often times our best or only option is a traditional Orthodox service. Even if this is not part of your tradition, it is an opportunity for a rich cultural experience that can be meaningful too. We strive to provide a number of alternative options for celebrating Shabbat, and teens are encouraged to take a leadership role in how the experience is shared with the group.
As a program, we do not drive on Shabbat and we do not oblige or encourage teens to break the rules of Shabbat which we observe. We do however require that teens carry items on Shabbat such as water bottles. At the same time, what teens do during non-programmed time on Shabbat is their own personal decision. We only ask that everyone be mindful and considerate of each other's practices.
For the sake of creating a safe and successful program experience, BBYO Passport has established a series of rules and disciplinary guidelines. Each disciplinary situation is evaluated individually, but as a general rule, infractions related to physical violence, drugs/controlled substances, tobacco, alcohol, and leaving the group without authorization are grounds for removal from the program. A single infraction may result in immediate separation from the group. BBYO Passport staff reserves the right to make these decisions, and there may also be further consequences for BBYO members within their local regions after returning to North America.
Cause for Removal
It is our sincere hope that no one will need to be expelled from a BBYO Passport program, and accordingly, we encourage parents and teens to discuss this matter carefully together before the start of the program.
In the event of program dismissal, the parents of the dismissed teen will be solely responsible for all associated fees, including the cost of special transportation to the airport, a flight chaperone if necessary, or an airline change fee. No portion of the program fee will be refunded, and any scholarship funds awarded will need to be reimbursed in full to BBYO or the issuing agency. Given the international nature of the program, the consequences of dismissal are extremely serious, costly, and disruptive to the rest of the group.
All behavioral matters will be dealt with on the program through a series of steps. These steps may include a staff-teen conversation, a formal warning, loss of free time or other privileges, program probation, and ultimately dismissal. Again, BBYO Passport staff reserves the sole right to make decisions related to behavioral misconduct and disciplinary consequences. Any specific questions related to disciplinary rules and regulations should be directed to BBYO Passport's Executive Director, Aaron Robbin.
Curfew & Rooming
To fully appreciate the program, a good night's sleep is essential. A curfew will be enforced at the discretion of program staff. Teens are expected to abide by these curfew rules. Hotel rooms are assigned on a single-gender basis. Teens are not allowed to be in any other room other than the room they are assigned to without permission from the staff at any time during the program.
Drugs & Alcohol
Possession, consumption, purchase, and/or being in the presence of drugs and/or alcohol will not be tolerated on any BBYO Passport program and may result in immediate dismissal. If ever you are in a situation that puts you in possession or presence of drugs and/or alcohol, reach out to a staff member as soon as possible. Additionally, sharing, selling or otherwise dispensing prescription medication is not tolerated and may result in immediate dismissal. Moreover, it is the policy of BBYO Passport to allow the police and justice departments of the respective countries visited to prosecute when infractions have occurred without intervention by BBYO Passport.
BBYO Passport staff reserves the right to administer a breathalyzer test and/or search any teen's belongings and/or room at any time and for any reason during the course of the program.
Leaving the Program without Authorization
As part of our general approach to safety and security, teens on all BBYO Passport programs are not allowed to leave the supervision of the program at any time. There will be occasions for limited free time in specific areas that are deemed secure by program staff. However, the general rule is that there is no leaving the program at any time and for any reason whatsoever during the day or at night. Leaving the program without specific staff authorization is grounds for immediate dismissal.
Timeliness & Cooperation with Program Staff
Behind the scenes of each BBYO Passport program is a complicated logistical plan which requires us to keep to an exact schedule. Staying on schedule requires the cooperation of every teen. It means waking up in the morning on time, not wandering from the group, and respecting the overall schedule of the program. The consequence of being late is that elements of the program will be canceled. We need every teen's cooperation to ensure that the program to be fully experienced.
Social Cohesion
We believe in the unique power of a group experience as opposed to a collection of individual experiences. As a member of a traveling community, each teen has a responsibility to treat their fellow teens with respect and decency. We aim to create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone on the program is made to feel welcomed and comfortable; each teen plays a role in making this possible. These same principles apply to virtual and social platforms before, during, and after the program.
The purchase or possession of a weapon or an item that may be construed as a weapon is not allowed during the program, and any such items will be confiscated.
Mobile Device Use
Cell phone use is a privilege, not a right. Use of communication devices during scheduled program time is not permitted. During other times, teens must exercise discretion when using the phones (i.e. respect sleeping roommates, etc.). If necessary, program staff reserves the right to suspend or even terminate a cell phone rental if these privileges are abused.
Respect for Property
It is expected that teens will behave responsibly and with respect regarding belongings and property throughout the program. Should property be damaged or defaced by a fellow teen, those responsible will be held accountable for payment of damages. Please note: there is a fee at many hotels and kibbutzim for lost room keys.
Tattooing & Piercing
Such activities during the program are forbidden and may result in disciplinary action or dismissal from the program. Tattooing and piercings can be unsafe in foreign countries and any resulting medical complications would not be covered under the program's medical insurance policy. Teens will be required to remove any piercings that they acquire during the program.
Tobacco & Marijuana
The purchase or possession of tobacco and marijuana products is not allowed, regardless of age. Additionally, purchasing or possessing smoking paraphernalia is forbidden. This policy includes, but is not limited to, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and water pipes.
The sun in Israel is strong and is often stronger than teens are accustomed to. Dehydration, heat stroke, and sunburn are serious concerns, especially in the desert.
These are some common-sense rules we employ whenever we go on hikes or whenever we will be outdoors for an extended period of time:
- Wear a hat
- No tank tops
- Use sunscreen
- Carry at least two liters of water
A rare condition known as leishmaniasis can develop from a sand fly bite. The condition impacts over 90 countries with tropical and sub-tropical climates, including parts of Israel and the United States. Although no teen on BBYO Passport has ever contracted the condition, it is a concern. Sandflies are most prevalent in the desert and most active in the evenings. Whenever our groups are out in the desert during dusk-to-dawn hours, we recommend that teens follow these precautions:
- Minimize the amount of exposed (uncovered) skin. Plan to wear lightweight long-sleeved
shirts, long pants, and socks - and tuck your shirt into your pants.
- Apply insect repellent to exposed skin and under the ends of sleeves and pant legs. Follow
the instructions on the label of the repellent. The most effective repellents are those that
contain the chemical DEET.
If contracted, leishmaniasis will typically show symptoms after a few weeks - which in most cases will be after the end of the program. Please be vigilant if you see abnormal looking bumps or bite marks, as early treatment is important. To learn more, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
Teens are responsible for carrying and self-administering their own medication. With the exception of over-the-counter treatments, our staff is not allowed to hold or administer prescribed medication, with the exception of an Epipen, and cannot be responsible for ensuring that prescribed medication is taken. If you have special requests (i.e. refrigeration requirements), please note them on your health forms. Teens are never allowed to share or dispense prescribed medication. Some medications must be taken at the same time every day. Please take into account the time difference and consult your doctor if necessary. Review our commitments to refrigerated medication, mental health, and dietary restrictions.
Nurse Tip: Teens may experience constipation while traveling. Some physicians agree that it may be beneficial to begin small doses of Miralax or it's equivalent prior to travel; consult your physician before travel if you are someone who experiences this common occurrence.
See our "packing for the trip" section for tips when traveling with medication.
Vaccine guidelines vary by country and are continually evolving. We recommend consulting with your physician as well as the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
BBYO Passport requires its teens to be up-to-date with most vaccines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control.
Please review our immunization policy.
Proper hydration is essential during a program of this nature. You should be drinking at least two liters of water per day. You can expect that the staff will constantly be reminding you to drink, drink, drink! Ultimately, you must be responsible for this task. The water in Israel is properly treated and is perfectly safe to drink. Bottled water is widely available and inexpensive, and you will have many opportunities to purchase it. Similarly, you will be able to refill your own water bottles with tap water frequently. Teens will not be allowed off the bus without full water bottles.
As a program, we take a number of precautions to reduce security risks. We travel on a private coach bus, we stay at accommodations with security, we plan our itineraries to avoid areas of concern, we always travel with an armed guard, and we are registered for monitoring through Israel's Situation Room.
We also ask our teens to follow some basic security-related guidance as follows:
- Be aware of suspicious objects. Be aware not to leave behind personal items that may be confused with a suspicious object.
- Stay together as a group. This is a supervised program, and we depend on our teens to stay together as a group at all times.
- Follow staff instructions. In addition to traveling with a guard, we travel with licensed guides who are trained in security procedures, and we depend on everyone following their instructions.
Our emergency phone number is 202-643-2296 and is handled by one of our team members. A BBYO staff member in North America will be answering emergency calls 24-hours a day. Please only use the emergency phone number when there is an emergency as described below:
Emergency Situations
- Family health emergencies
- Urgent medical or safety situation
Non-Emergency Situations
- Concerns about fatigue or social adjustment
- Requests for flight extensions
- Requests to be featured in photos
- General security concerns (email updates will be sent in such scenarios)
Non-emergency issues should be communicated to the North American office, open Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm EST. Simply call 202-537-8091 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please check today to make sure that you know the location of where your passport is, that it is not expired, or is about to expire. Your passport must valid for six months after our return date. If it is not, you may not be allowed to board your flight(s). To review information about ordering or renewing your passport visit the U.S. Department of State- Bureau of Consular Affairs website.
If you are traveling to Israel on a USA, Canadian, or European Union member country passport, you do not need a visa to enter Israel. If you are traveling on a passport from another country (e.g. Russia, Ukraine, etc.), you may need a visa to enter Israel. Our office is able to provide you with an official ticket confirmation letter to assist with issuing any required visas or passport extensions.
- Plan to carry a photocopy of your passport during the program. Though BBYO Passport staff will hold onto your passport for safekeeping on the road, we recommend bringing a passport copy to place in your wallet, backpack, and suitcase at all times as a back-up form of identification.
- Check that the name entered in your flight form matches your passport. If you filled out the flight form with a nickname, your ticket will be printed accordingly, and you may be denied boarding. Contact us to make any corrections as soon as possible, a name change fee may apply.
If you hold an Israeli passport you must enter Israel with your Israeli passport. If either of your parents is Israeli citizens, you may still have obligations to the State of Israel that must be worked out prior to your trip, even if you do not have an Israeli passport. It is critical that you take care of these matters before you arrive in Israel. If you do not, you may be obligated to stay in Israel until matters are resolved, and you will be solely responsible for your own situation and any costs involved. We recommend being cautious about these matters and contacting one of the regional Israel consulate offices if you have questions.
Details about the group flight and how to meet at the airport are announced by the end of April and emailed to you. Contact us if you need assistance accessing the document. All tickets are issued electronically and staff will have a copy of your e-ticket (electronic ticket) at the airport.
- Seating is pre-assigned by the airline on our group flights. Special requests can be made at check-in, but not ahead of departure.
- If desired, teens are responsible for obtaining reward points via the airline using the ticket information obtained at check-in. Please provide the agent at the counter with your appropriate information upon check to receive your reward points, or you may call the airline at a later time to obtain reward points.
Check with your specific airline for the most updated terms, however, the following are the basic luggage rules for transatlantic group flights:
- Checked Luggage: One bag of no more than 50 pounds and no more than 30 inches long
- Carry-on Luggage: One carry-on backpack
If you are on a connecting program that includes "Italy Discovery," "United Kingdom & Ireland Discovery," "Spain Discovery," "Central Europe Discovery," "Ambassadors to Bulgaria," or "Ambassadors to Argentina," the luggage rules on the connecting flight from Europe or South America to Israel may differ from the transatlantic flight. Additional airline fees will apply if your luggage exceeds these limits.
When deciding what kind of luggage to bring, keep in mind you will need to load your luggage on/off the bus and to/from our accommodations; try to keep it manageable. Be sure to bring luggage on wheels (we suggest a rolling duffel). Before packing, please review updated restrictions on the TSA website.
Plan to meet the group in the check-in area of our departure terminal four hours in advance of the group flight. If you are taking a domestic flight to meet the group, please make sure it lands at least five hours before our departure. Starting at six hours prior to departure our team will be wearing staff t-shirts and will greet teens as they arrive at our meeting location. The BBYO Passport t-shirt that you will receive before the program should be worn on departure day.
We recommend that teens arrive at the airport with their personal cell phone and a portable charger in case they need to contact a member of our team. Please be sure that teens cell phone number is listed in your registration account.
When making your travel arrangements, we recommend that you consider ground travel to our departure airport as this greatly reduces the chances of flight delays. If you are traveling to the gateway airport on a connecting flight, we recommend arriving a day in advance of our international departure. An optional supervised airport hotel stay-over may be available for this purpose (see below). If you arrive on the day of departure, please allow plenty of time to spare.
Each airline has their own rules for mandatory "unaccompanied minors" and additional fees do apply. If your teen is 15 years or younger, then please refer to your chosen airline for information and contact us well in advance (2-3 weeks) if special arrangements need to be made with our staff.
Optional supervised hotel stay-overs may be available on the night before your group's departure and the night of your group's return, if requested in advance. The cost of the supervised hotel stay-over is $200 per person which includes dinner and breakfast. Exact hotel arrangements and meeting instructions will be available at a later date. During the hotel stayover, teens are not permitted to leave the hotel for any reason without making prior arrangements with our staff. Sign-up for the supervised hotel stay-over by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Space is limited, and we may not be able to fulfill requests within a month of departure.
If you are delayed on departure day and will not meet the group on time, please send an email to email@example.com. If possible, we will re-schedule you on the next available flight. However, please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so, and you will likely be traveling without staff. Additional fees may apply.
Parent Tip: The optional group travel insurance policy includes coverage for missed connections and travel delays. It is a great value and protects your teens travel. We recommend that every parent purchase it for their child. For more information on group travel insurance, review our insurance page.
On arrival, we proceed to passport control (customs) and then meet at baggage claim. Our Israel staff will have signs and will be wearing special badges to identify them. In baggage claim, there will be time for restroom breaks and to use an ATM*, but do not wander beyond baggage claim without staff. From there, we proceed to the bus loading zone which is where pre-ordered rental cell phones/SIM cards will be distributed.
*A currency exchange representative will meet the group in the bus loading zone. The exchange rate provided is better than what is available inside the airport baggage claim area – and much faster, too!
We typically clear customs and baggage claim within 60-90 minutes of arrival. If scheduling a connecting flight home, allow for a window of at least three hours between flights within the same airport. Our staff will be on hand to escort teens through baggage claim and direct them to their connecting flights as requested, but our staff will not be available to escort teens to connecting flight terminals. While we will do our best to assist with any connecting flight delays, we cannot commit to having staff at the airport for more than three hours after the group's return.
When deciding what kind of luggage to bring, keep in mind you will need to load your luggage on/off the bus and to/from our accommodations; try to keep it manageable.

The accommodations, all meals, in-country transportation, basic health insurance (excluding pre-existing conditions), and all program activities are covered by the core program fees. The only spending that is your responsibility will be snacks, bottled water, souvenirs, gifts, etc. We estimate that $100-$150/week is sufficient.
There are a number of ways to bring money abroad. Please read this section carefully, and keep in mind that BBYO Passport will be unable to facilitate money transfers to teens during the program, please plan accordingly.
Personal ATM / Credit Cards
If you choose to use your personal ATM card or credit card, we would ask that you be aware of
the following:
- If your ATM card has a Visa, MasterCard, Star, Cirrus, or Maestro logo imprint, you should have no difficulty withdrawing money while abroad. Other ATM network cards may work, but we encourage you to check with your local bank prior to travel.
- Some teens have experienced difficulty withdrawing money from savings accounts. We strongly recommend that ATM cards be linked to checking accounts only to prevent any potential complications in Israel.
- Major credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are also accepted throughout Israel. Please contact your bank ahead of travel to inform them that you are traveling abroad, and will be using your cards to make purchases.
- Please do not send your child with prepaid gift/credit cards as they will likely not be accepted abroad.
Check with your bank before travel to find out service fee charges when using ATMs and credit cards internationally.
Parent Tip: Remind your child to keep their money and credit cards in safe places. For example, your teen loses their wallet containing all their credit cards and cash, BBYO will not be able to transfer spending money to them.
Cash Money
US and Canadian dollars are not accepted abroad. If you plan to bring cash with you, either plan to exchange it to local currency before you depart for the program or at the airport in Israel. There will be very few opportunities to exchange funds during the program itself. If you are looking to purchase souvenirs on the program, most stores will accept credit cards. You will only need cash to use at smaller stores and stalls. We recommend mainly using credit cards during the program and using cash for times when credit is not accepted.
In Israel, the local currency is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS). Each shekel is worth about $0.25 USD.
Keep in mind, coins in Israel come in higher values than what we are used to in North America. This means you need to watch your coins carefully. Additionally, keep in mind that there are 5 Shekel coins (~$1.45 USD) and 5 Agorot coins (~$0.01 USD). It is important to know the difference between the 10, 5 and 1 Shekel and Agorot coins, as they have drastically different values.
Exchange rates are constantly fluctuating, please check the rates prior to your trip.
BBYO Passport program fees include basic medical insurance that covers treatment and medication; however, it will not cover any pre-existing medical conditions. This means that the policy covers treatment for issues such as a stomach bug, broken limb, or dehydration, without any out-of-pocket expenses or paperwork. The policy does not cover any medical conditions for which a teen is already being treated for or treatment that has been received in the past. This exclusion rule also applies to all psychological care. For this reason, teens are required to come on the program with their own medical insurance policy, which includes coverage for short-term travel abroad. In the event that a teen needs to be treated for a pre-existing condition during the program, the parents of the teen will be solely responsible for any associated costs.
Review a summary of our medical insurance terms.
If you are extending your stay in Israel, your local medical insurance can be extended as well at a cost of $2.50/Day. Please contact us for additional details.
All teens are encouraged to sign-up for a travel insurance policy to protect their investment and plan for the unexpected. We have partnered with Travel Insured International to provide a discounted group travel insurance option. The cost of the travel insurance policy is based on the total cost of the program and other domestic travel expenses. Plan coverage information is available through our general resources- insurance webpage. Insurance can be purchased in your registration account. Policies may be purchased up until the date you make full payment for the program.
Packing Advice
Since we will be visiting sacred and religious sites during the program. In these locations, it is custom to keep knees and shoulders covered, please pack accordingly. Specifically, when visiting the Kotel, girls should wear long flowy skirts, similar to a maxi skirt. Tight pants are not appropriate. On Shabbat, we ask that teens wear nicer clothing than what would be worn during the normal touring week; this helps to create a unique Shabbat atmosphere. For reference, you may wear similar clothing that you would wear on Shabbat at camp!
We will be doing a lot of walking and having comfortable shoes is important! Flip flops will not be allowed when we are on the move, and while athletic sandals like Tevas or Chacos are fine most days in Israel, they are not appropriate for days when we have hikes/nature walks. While it is not necessary to bring hiking boots, comfortable and sturdy walking shoes are a must for all programming.*
*If you are participating in the Sea-to-Sea Hike as part of Trek Israel or Israel Journey PLUS, lightweight hiking shoes or sturdy gym shoes with ankle support are necessary.
Please use this packing list as a guideline and keep in mind that laundry will be done every 8-10 days.

Theft is not uncommon in any place where a large number of tourists congregate, and there have been instances in Israel in the past. Accordingly, we encourage you to leave valuable items at home and to carefully keep track of anything valuable that you do bring on the program. As a general rule, hotel rooms should always remain locked. However, even a locked hotel room should not be considered a secure area unless a safe with a lock is available. If you bring a lock for your suitcase, locking it in the room is an option. If it is possible to bring a locking suitcase, we recommend it, although it is not a solution by itself. Teen property is the sole responsibility of the teen.
Laundry service will be scheduled approximately every 8-10 days. Teens will be given a laundry bag to use, and we encourage teens to pair up so that whites and colors are combined in shared bags. We recommend labeling all clothing to be laundered. BBYO Passport and its program partners are not responsible for clothing lost or damaged during the laundry process.
NOTE: Bringing a large size Ziploc bag is a good solution for storing dirty clothes in between laundry.
Please do NOT send packages to teens in Israel. Packages often get delayed by Israeli customs, and even if a package does get through, it may be difficult to get the package to our group. If you forget a necessary item, the staff will do their best to purchase or obtain the item in a timely fashion.
If you are taking prescription medication, bring enough for the duration of the program as well as an extra written prescription record in case you misplace or lose your medicine. Take all medication (OTC and prescription) on the plane with you in your carry-on luggage. Do NOT pack any medication with your checked baggage. The same applies to contact lenses. Please review TSA restrictions on traveling with medication and liquids.
If you are musically inclined and willing to bring your instrument, please feel free to do so! There will be plenty of occasions to showcase your skills. Remember that as with any other valuable item, bringing an instrument on the program is done at your own risk of loss or damage.
The electrical plugs in Israel are different than North American ones, with two rounded prongs that are separated slightly further apart. Therefore, you will need a voltage converter if you are bringing electronic items (unless they have a built-in one), as well as an adapter for plugging in your items. If you are unsure of which plugs to purchase, check with your local electronics or travel store. A travel adapter can be purchased online and should be no more than $5.
As with most hotels, the majority of the ones visited will supply small bottles of basic toiletries (shampoo, body wash, etc.) It is always a good idea to pack a small amount to have on hand.
Take the time to review your Israel trip specific FAQ Page and General FAQs page:
Parents of teens will automatically receive email notifications including updates from the road and a link to new pictures posted from the group. Additionally, friends and family will be able to sign-up to receive these same updates by filling out a short online form.
Prior to using your cell phone abroad, please contact your cell phone provider to understand the costs associated with international roaming. If you wish to rent a cell phone or SIM card (for unlocked phones only), please review the options below.
Cell Phone and SIM Card Rental Options
We have compiled a list of several cell phone and SIM card rental options. Review all of your available options with our partner, 019 Mobile.
For parents and friends who wish to contact a teen during the program, keep in mind that Israel is seven hours ahead of Eastern Time. Please also remember that the use of communication devices during scheduled program time will not be permitted.
Some of the hotels, kibbutzim, and guest houses that we stay at will have internet stations and/or Wi-Fi available which teens are welcome to use during free time, usually for an additional fee. We strongly suggest that you do not bring a laptop on the program or any other expensive communication devices as the risk of theft or damage is very high.
The second Shabbat in Israel is an optional Host Family Weekend. This is the perfect opportunity to visit with relatives or family friends while in Israel (excludes ILSI). Host Family Weekend begins Thursday late afternoon/evening and ends Saturday after Shabbat.
The BBYO Passport tour guide will be in touch with the host family 2-3 days before the host family weekend to make plans for your pick-up and drop-off. Generally, pick-up will happen Thursday evening and drop-off will take place Saturday evening. Locations are to be determined by the tour guide, while in Israel once the itinerary is confirmed and usually take place in and around Jerusalem and/or Tel Aviv.
To take advantage of the Host Family Weekend, submit a release form as part of your registration account. You will be asked to provide the name and cell phone of the person(s) responsible for pick-up on Thursday evening and drop-off on Saturday night. This person must be at least age 21 and must carry a form of identification. Finally, be advised that all program rules apply during this weekend. If you have more questions, please refer to the Host Family Weekend Details email.
NOTE: If you are planning to participate in the Host Family Weekend, complete the form at least a week before the program and no later than three days after arrival in Israel. Last minute requests may not be accommodated.
Participation in the Host Family Weekend is not mandatory and the itinerary during this weekend is fully programmed for those teens staying with the group.
Visitors are welcome at our accommodations during Shabbat or on an evening weeknight – as long as it is fully coordinated ahead of time and approved by your staff in advance. Teens are not permitted to be "checked out" of the program by friends or family under any circumstances outside of the designated Host Family Weekend.
While in Israel, your guide will be the primary contact for basic questions and assistance. Staff names will be distributed about a month prior to the program start date. Should you need additional support, do not hesitate to contact our office staff directly.

Israel enjoys warm, dry summers (May-September) and generally mild winters (November-March). Somewhat cooler weather is found in the more hilly regions, such as Jerusalem, Tsfat, and the Golan. Warmer weather is found along the coast, in the desert, and near the Sea of Galilee. December through March are the wettest months in Israel. June through August are the driest months with no expected rain at all.
Average temperatures vary by region and time of the year as follows:
|Tel Aviv
|Dead Sea
Weather during summer is hot during the day, cooler in the evenings, and humidity is minimal in most parts of Israel. Bring comfortable clothing for warm weather. We also urge you to wear a brimmed hat and sunscreen as you may find the sun to be more intense than at home.
Israel enjoys mild winters, and while there is a chance of rain during this time of year, it is not an everyday occurrence (or even every week). Snow is a very rare (and short-lived) phenomenon in Jerusalem. Pack clothing that can be worn in layers to prepare yourself for fluctuating temperatures.
You'll soon discover that our staff pours their hearts into the success of your experience, and at the end of the tour, providing a cash tip (dollars or shekels) is a customary and thoughtful gesture. Although the amounts and allocation are ultimately at your discretion, we recommend budgeting for a tip pool of $100-$150 per adult traveler to be divided as follows:
- 1/2 for the guide
- 1/4 for the driver
- 1/4 for the counselor (if applicable)
Gratuities for hotel staff and waitstaff at group meals are already included in the cost of the program. If you are eating at a restaurant separately or taking a taxi, the customary tip range in Israel is 10-15%.
The program covers two meals a day (with the exception of the arrival day). Breakfast is provided daily at the hotel and will consist of a wide variety of salads, dairy products, fruits, breads, and more traditional breakfast items. Since lunch is typically a quick stop, we encourage you to eat a full breakfast. All meals provided are kosher according to the "Rabbanut" certification. Most of the restaurant meals provided will consist of traditional Israeli cuisine, which has a Middle Eastern flair and is typically served buffet-style or family-style.
Travelers with special dietary situations (i.e. allergies, lactose intolerance, vegetarian, etc.) should note it with their registration or contact us separately. We will notify the meal providers in advance, and make a good faith effort to ensure your considerations are accommodated.
During meals on your own, you will find that you often have a huge selection of styles to choose from, ranging from sushi to Italian and nearly everything in between. In general, you may find that restaurants are not as aware of allergens or potential reactions, so we recommend that you exercise caution when ordering or ask your staff for assistance. Finally, most restaurants accept credit card for payment, but many of the small quick-service restaurants will only accept cash.
If you do not have a cellphone plan with reasonable international calling/data services, you can take advantage of discounted rates for mobile services at www.stayconnectedabroad.com. Options include local cellphone rentals, SIM cards, and other mobile data solutions. Pick-up is free at Ben Gurion Airport as long as you place your order at least a week in advance of your arrival (the pickup kiosk is closed during Shabbat hours).
Carrying a water bottle is a must, especially during the summer months. You will require much more frequent hydration than you are probably used to, around 2-4 liters of water per day. If you do not wish to pack a water bottle or hydration pouch, you can easily recycle your plastic store-bought bottles of water by refilling them from the tap, which is safe to drink. Additionally, bottles of water are available for sale on your tour bus, and typically cost only US$1-$3 per bottle (depending on size).
When communicating with friends and family at home, remember that Israel is usually seven hours ahead of Eastern Time or ten hours ahead of Pacific Time. This means evenings in Israel are equivalent to morning/afternoon in North America. Mornings in Israel are equivalent to late night in North America.
If you are taking medication, we recommend bringing enough to last for the entire time that you expect to be in Israel. If you have a notable medical condition, inform us in advance so that we can prepare our staff accordingly. No vaccinations are required for Israel, but we do recommend coming to Israel with an up-to-date tetanus shot.
If you use a taxi anywhere in Israel, insist that they turn the meter on – "moneh b'vakasha" (meter please). Cab drivers will often try to negotiate a price in advance without the meter to avoid reporting the income. Unless you know how much the ride will cost, you are almost always better off paying the meter price. If the driver refuses to put the meter on, simply get out and wait for another cab. NOTE: Uber is currently operating in the Tel Aviv region only.
If you reserved a double occupancy room, you will be accommodated with either a queen-sized bed or two twin-sized beds depending on your rooming request. If you reserved a triple or quad occupancy room, the additional bed(s) in the room will typically be a sofa bed or pull out bed. Exact mattress sizes vary from hotel to hotel and can not be guaranteed in advance.

One Great Big Catch!
Posted by Benjamin Dona on Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 at 2:49pm.
There is not a day that goes by while I am out showing clients properties when the question arises about alligators in the various waterways. Naturally, I give them all the same stern warning about what to expect and remind them they must be sure to keep children and small pets away from the waters unattended. Having been here for 14 years now and being an avid outdoorsman (fishing, camping and trekking), I've seen my fair share of both alligators and crocodiles in the wild. And, unfortunately, we've had more than a few fatalities and mutilations over the years.
So, when I saw this item in the newspaper this morning, I thought you all might like to see it. Seems a guy up in the Orlando area was out on the last day (November 1st) of alligator hunting season on Lake Washington and snagged a state record catch. It measured 14 feet, 3 1/2 inches in length and weighed 654 pounds. The previous record was 14 feet, 5/8-inch. It was also a little shy of the heaviest weight record, which is 1,043 pounds dating back to 1989 on a gator taken from Orange Lake just south of Gainesville.
I hope this post/photo will help drive home the point of my warnings that in Florida, you must always be aware of your surroundings.

Good lord!!! That is one big beast! You said there have been fatalities; have you or any of your clients ever had an 'incident' with a gator?
Posted on Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 at 7:41pm.
Terry and I have only had one run in with a frisky gator. We were in our 13 foot Gheenu (a squared off canoe with a 3 HP engine on it) fishing in the backwaters of Spring Creek.
We saw a 10 footer sunning itself on the bank. After about 20 minutes or so of fishing, it jumped into the water and headed right for our boat. It got within about 20 feet or so and I cranked up the engine and we moved down the creek about 100 or so yards.
The gator followed us and again came right at the boat. So, I moved again. This game continued until he had chased us all the way back to the dock (about 2 miles). We got out of the boat and the gator proceeded to stay right off the dock area swimming in circles.
We waited about 45 minutes or so and then gave up. Damned thing ruined a good fishing day for us.

I wonder how many people actually consider what it is like to live with these when they buy a home in Florida.
Posted on Friday, November 12th, 2010 at 7:01pm.
Not as many as you would think or expect.
Posted on Friday, November 12th, 2010 at 7:17pm.
I lived north of Tampa back in the 90s and never saw one of these, but my neighbors said that one had crossed the street in our small subdivision early one morning. My husband used to go out jogging and as I recall, he said he saw one too. (Probably helped him to jog a little faster!)
Posted on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 at 1:30am.
I cringe at the thought of rattlesnakes here in Austin. You're supposed to be still. What do you do when you come across one of these guys? Don't know if I could out run it.
Posted on Wednesday, November 17th, 2010 at 1:40pm.
Give them a wide berth for sure!
They are capable of short bursts of speed (for 10 to 20 yards) and can raise themselves up out of the water by several feet.
Mostly, they will leave you alone if you do not get too close.
The thing is to always be aware of your surroundings here in paradise.
