The Dominican Republic shares an island with Haiti, its neighbour country on the western third. The island is called Hispaniola and is one of the Major Antilles. Located on the north shore of the Caribbean island paradise of the Dominican Republic, is Cabarete, loved for all types of watersports as well as kiteboarding. Cabarete is a small Caribbean town with the reputation of having the most fantastic kitesurfing conditions in the world. With constant trade winds and warm waters this is the ideal place to learn to Kitesurf. 

• While there are areas all over the island that kite surfing can be practiced, the kitesurfing beach just outside Cabarete, is considered to be the best place in the Dominican Republic, if not one of the best places in the world for kite surfing. Cabarete was host of the largest Kiteboarding event in the World (Presidente Kite boarding World Cup 2006 – PKRA 2006 World Tour 3rd stop). Most of the worlds best came to Cabarete to compete in perfect conditions and have the best time of their lives.
• The Eastern Trade Winds blow side-shore (right to left) across the bay. The winds are light in the morning, picking up as the day goes on. The outer reef provides ensures flatter waters within the bay and wavy conditions both on and outside it. The winds tend to be a little lighter in the winter but this is when swell (waves) are generally at their biggest. The summer tends to provide less swell (waves) but stronger wind conditions.
• The closest Airport is Puerto Plata (POP). Cabarete is due east just a 20 minute transfer away ($35) There are other Airports in DR like Santiago (1.5hr away) and Santo Domingo (4hrs away). For your convenience it is recommended you fly into Puerto Plata.

Extreme Sports Café’s partner Kite Cabarete School is located on the North Shore of the Caribbean island of Dominican Republic. Our partner Dominican Republic Kitesurfing School is on the up-wind tip of the kite surfing beach giving us a premier location and our beach grill 'Chichiguas' brings hungry kiters to our garden all day. This is a fantastic place to learn kitesurfing. The wind picks up gently at around 11AM to 1PM and then progressively gets stronger as the day progresses. This makes the mornings great for kite surfing theory and practice on the beach, then go out to learn and practice kitesurfing on the water later on in the day.
