Windsurfing

The famous Cabarete bay, where Cabarete Beach and Bozo Beach are both found, has a very unique configuration making it perfect for windsurfing (and kiteboarding). So the foremost destination in the Dominican Republic for windsurfing is in the town of Cabarete, located on the north coast of the island. Many other beaches are perfectly suitable for beginners and intermediate windsurfers, but the area of Cabarete has them all beat as the perfect destination for the sport.

If you are unfamiliar with windsurfing, the sport uses a windsurf board (sailboard) which has a sail erected in the middle. The user rides the windsurf board while guiding the board with the sail, catching the wind similar to a sail. Indeed, it is a challenging combination of both sailing and surfing that makes this an entertaining sport.

It is important to learn how to windsurf correctly if you are interested in trying it out. If you learn properly it can be a lot of fun (and good exercise) but if you don’t know how to do it, the sport can easily be very frustrating. So learn the right way to do it from a qualified instructor and you can be up and sailing away within a few hours.
