It was six years ago when I first visited the<br />
Dominican Republic. I told myself that<br />
I would never go back – the world is full<br />
of places to discover. However, since that<br />
first visit, I have traveled back nine times<br />
and I am sure I will go back again.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sleepy little town of <strong>Cabarete</strong> was one of<br />
the first developed kiteboarding destinations<br />
in the Caribbean. Many of the top pros around<br />
the world have lived and trained in the steady,<br />
consistent trade winds over the years. Nowhere<br />
in the Caribbean will you find a place that is<br />
more dedicated to kiteboarding. With 10 schools<br />
and over a dozen hotels, condos and villas lining<br />
the beaches, <strong>Cabarete</strong> is a no-brainer for any<br />
kiteboarder looking for a turn-key destination<br />
to visit.<br />
