Kitesurfing in Cabarete

[Full Image]
Want to try kitesurfing in the country which regularly hosts the Kiteboarding World Cup? Welcome to Cabarete for what can only be described as the perfect introduction to the world of kitesurfing...in the Caribbean!!

The Dominican Republic is famous for its trade winds, warm waters and friendly way of life which make it the ideal location for beginner, intermediate and advanced kitesurfers to learn and develop their skills. You will be taught by qualified instructors with a wealth of knowledge and kitesurfing experience, who love what they do and can't wait to teach more people how to kitesurf.

Whether you're a complete beginner or have lots of experience, you will fit right in on our courses which are designed to improve your skills and confidence, both with a kite and on the board. Instruction takes place in small groups and you will be encouraged to develop at your own pace, with constant support and advice from our team of knowledgeable instructors. Completing International Kiteboarding Organisation (IKO) levels as you progress will help you measure your development and provide you with tangible recognition of your achievements in Cabarete.

When you're not busy battling the winds on the beach, you are free to explore your new surroundings, get involved in some other watersports (surfing anyone?) or just get stuck in to that laid back lifestyle which the Caribbean is all about!

Courses last from 1-6 weeks so this trip could form part of a long adventure holiday in the Caribbean, or start off your gap year or career break in style! If you take to kitesurfing quite quickly and are able to stay for 6 weeks you might want to think about completing an assistant instructor course - make a new life from your new favourite sport!

   Itinerary & Highlights

  Our courses are tailored for all levels of kiteboarder, with safety and kitesurfing equipment being provided. The courses follow the IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) teaching methodology and tuition is carried out by professional IKO qualified instructors.

As a beginner, you will typically experience your first ride at the end of the first week having been taught how to set up your kiteboarding equipment and the basics of launching and landing. In week two your technique will be improved to allow upwind riding enabling you to gain sufficient confidence to ride independently.

Weeks 3-6 will become less instructionally based and more focused on individual coaching, developing your areas of weakness and specific skills such as jumping and wave riding. You can expect to leave the course as a confident and independent beginner kiteboarder after about 2 weeks of wind.

As a novice or intermediate kiteboarder, you will receive an assessment on arrival to determine your current kiteboarding ability. You will then receive personal tuition to hone your existing technique and strengthen your understanding of the sport.

You will also have plenty of time to practise your kitesurfing skills away from your training sessions with your instructor, with unlimited use of kitesurfing equipment.

Qualifications
Our kitesurfing courses follow a structured training programme as devised and regulated by the IKO. You will therefore be awarded official IKO qualifications according to the skill level you achieve during your time in the Dominican Republic. The IKO qualifications available on our beginner and improvement courses are as follows:

- IKO Kiteboarding Level 1
- IKO Kiteboarding Level 2
- IKO Kiteboarding Level 3
