| Skyriders & Club Mistral - Cabarete |
Based in: Dominican Republic
Searching for the sea route to India, Christopher Columbus discovered the island of Hispaniola in 1492. Today, the island is subdivided into the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Cabarete is a windsurfers' and kitesurfers' paradise, situated on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, about 40 km from Puerto Plata International Airport.The town, which is located on a 4-km-long sandy beach, is just the right location for those who crave sun and wind.
The Club Mistral centre is situated upwind on the bay close to the shore and offers plenty of space for easy launches and exits without a shorebreak. The days in Cabarete begin very pleasurably with a light breeze, which gains in strength, to a force of 4-6, after midday, and blows cross-offshore from the right in summer (May to November). In the bay, the surface of the water is flat to choppy. The waves at the outer reef are up to 4 m high, and both wave novices and ambitious surfing experts can let off a lot of steam there.
Our centre includes a shop and a cosy chill-out area under shady palms, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. There is a wide variety of affordable bars and restaurants to choose from. Cabarete is known as "the windsurfers' Caribbean Eldorado" because it offers countless water sports options, as well as romantic horseback rides on mile-long beaches, surfboard riding, mountain biking - to mention only some of the attractions. It has a special atmosphere that will make your windsurfing or kitesurfing vacation unforgettable. Enjoy your fruity cocktail at happy hour and allow yourself to be carried away by the rhythms of the Merengue and the Salsa. |
