Kite boarding Cabarete

So Kite boarding season kicks off this weekend with the Master of the Ocean competition. Talented water sportsmen must excel in surfing, windsurfing AND kiteboarding in order to carry away the trophy. Individual titles are up for grabs in Kite surfing, wind surfing and surfing but the overall winner must demonstrate skill in all three disciplines - no easy task.

Our very own Luciano Gonzalez, resident sports manager at Swell surf camp Cabarete, is favorite to carry away the trophy as he has done on two other occasions. You can watch the video of Luciano kiting huge waves recently on http://www.vimeo.com/9539480

For kiteboarding/kitesurfing , Cabarete really is the place to learn; you can gather information on kite boarding holidays from this website, about Cabarete kite surf holidays

So, it’s four in the afternoon, Saturday and Jim is out riding some very large waves. I can make him out on the reef, mainly because of the kite standing out and 23 metres beneath the kite, I can see a figure wave riding and looking extremely small next to the wave he is on. He loves it – waves like that scare me half to death, although occasionally when I am on a wave that is shoulder high and chasing me down, I can understand the feeling of exilharation – takes a certain level of bravery to be on a wave that is twice your height or more. He will be happy.

I am off to collect my children from Sosua Ocean Village Water Park where they seem to live these days………
