THE SPOT IN CABARETE<br />

Thanks to the countless possibilities to have fun on the water, Cabarete<br />

offers the right holiday program for everybody, whether kitesurfers, windsurfers<br />

or surfers, beginners or experts, and whether on the water or on<br />

the land.<br />

WIND AND WAVES<br />

The wind is moderate in the morning and gains strength at midday under<br />

the influence of the trade wind. From May - October the wind blows<br />

mainly side shore from the right with an average strength of 4-5 bft. From<br />

November - April the wind blows mainly cross offshore from the right and<br />

is less constant, but can deliver around 4m high waves at the reef. The<br />

reef is about 800m off of the beach and offers the ideal conditions for wave<br />

beginners and wave experts. Flat water sailors get their money´s worth in<br />

the area in front of the reef, while beginners and intermediates feel comfortable<br />

in the small standing area located directly in front of the center. There<br />

is a mobile kite school so choosing the perfect spot is always possible<br />

depending upon the wind and wave conditions as well as the needs of<br />

the student. Surfing in Cabarete is a hot alternative for all windsurfers and<br />

kitesurfers. The beginner spot is only 5 minutes away from the center, and<br />

directly in front of the Velero Beach Hotel there is a great spot for intermediates.<br />

On top of all this we also organize excursions to the famous and<br />

well loved spot of Encuentro.<br />

THE CENTER<br />

The center is located upwind of the 2km wide bay of Cabarete, together<br />

with the Bic Surf shop and the Eze Restaurant/Bar in Plaza Carib Wind.<br />

The center sits beneath shady palm trees, is very cozy, and offers a chill<br />

out area overlooking the ocean and only 30m from the shore. Right in front<br />

of the center there is easy access for windsurfers of all levels as a reef belt<br />

stops any shore break. The wind close to the beach is very stable with no<br />

wind shadow as there are no obstacles in the background. Thanks to the<br />

fact that the bay is protected by land on both sides and that our team keeps<br />

always keeps an eye out, it is a very safe spot.<br />
