This weeks Fins & Skins Classic Adventure takes us to the Caribbean island of intrigue, Cuba, and the relaxing atmosphere of one of Sol Melia's premier oceanfront resorts, Las Americas. With a spectacular white sand beach, an 18-hole championship golf course (site of Euro PGA tour event) and great fishing, there's always plenty to do. Henry's special guest this week is former Canadian Olympian and World Cup downhiller, Todd Brooker. Henry and Todd equalize their skills for another unique fish 'n' golf competition from Varadero Beach, Cuba.
