Kitesurfing
Kitesurfing is relatively new to the extreme sports community; one of the new ‘hybrid’ sports; and is quickly gaining in popularity – as is the Dominican Republic as a kitesurfing destination. You can leave your wetsuit at home as you head to the northern town Cabarete and set up at the aptly named ‘Cabarete Kite Beach’. Here you will find the best and most varied wind conditions on the island, to suit all kitesurfers, from beginners to pros. After your hard day’s work playing with your kite, you can enjoy Cabarete’s relaxing nightlife with a few drinks of rum. There are other popular kitesurfing beaches around, such as the ‘Bozo Beach’, found between Cabarete and Kite Beach, where the Kiteboarding World Championships have taken place every year since 2001. Wind conditions are strongest in the afternoon, so don’t worry about having to get up early! The water here is around 26C on average, so perfectly comfortable.
