Even though H.Earl passed about 200 miles off the North coast D.R. – we took these photos late this afternoon as the waves peaked – the outer reef at Bozo had a likely face of 4 to 5 meters and the shore break 2 – 3 meters in height. We took a ton of [...]

Cabarete Spinning has been getting people fit in Cabarete for 6 years. It is easily the best indoor cycling available in the Dominican Republic by a long way and the only studio with Johnny G qualified instructors I should know, I began the studio

It is smoking hot in Cabarete; summer is not our favorite time here – it’s good for wind and smaller waves for beginner/intermediate surfers, but it is so hot that we start to crave those cooler European daytime and evening temperatures. Surfing Cabarete and it’s various surf breaks, or kite surfing or being out [...]

Is it just us or is this not one of the best kite boarding seasons we’ve had in recent years? Weeks of good wind continue and follow a fantastic surf season when North Swell followed North Swell again and again from October to April……… any doubters who might think that Cabarete, or the north [...]
Jim and I were saying two weeks ago, in a conversation about Richard Branson, that he’d probably love Cabarete as an avid kiteboarder.
He’d never been – until last night. On a super quick visit (just 24 hours) he’s packing in a ton of stuff in his first trip to Cabarete. He [...]
With this weekend came the unexpected death of one of the most respected and loved ex-patriots on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Ginnie Bedggood, alternatively known as ‘Lambada’ on the D.R.1 forums passed away unexpectedly.
I never met her in person, but had many exchanges with her on the forums; the [...]
Cabarete has so much to offer the watersportmen and women; early birds get up for the surfing or Stand up paddle boarding now growing so fast on the town’s various reefs. Wind kicks in around lunchtime and then the kiteboarders, windsurfers and sailors are happy too.
Another nice swell is on it’s way this week [...]
