Picture this: warm Caribbean waters, steady trade winds at your back, and miles of coastline to explore—it’s what kiteboarding dreams are made of, dude!

Cabarete, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, is a world-renowned hotspot for kiteboarding, and it’s no wonder why. The consistent wind, perfect water conditions, and stunning beaches make it the ideal place for a downwinder that’ll leave you grinning from ear to ear.

What’s a Downwind Trip?

In a nutshell, a downwind kiteboarding trip means riding with the wind at your back as you cruise along the coastline, covering serious distance and hitting up different spots along the way. No need to fight the wind—just let it do the work while you glide over the waves and soak up those epic views.

With the strong trade winds pushing you, you’ll pass through all kinds of conditions, from flat water to small waves. Every trip is different, which keeps things super fun and exciting.

READ WHAT A FEW OF OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

Believe the other reviews, this kiteboarding school is awesome! Came to Cabarete with my brother-in-law to learn to kiteboard in 5 days and our instructors, Jeison and Moreno, had us both shredding by the end of the week. I went from complete beginner to riding upwind, transitioning, and even getting some small jumps in thanks to Jeison's expertise! The cafe at the school has great food/drinks and the best seating area on kite beach. The owner, Tracy, is really nice and responsive/helpful for those heading to Cabarete for the first time. Hoping to make it back soon!

Miles Gilliam

This is hands down the best place for anyone wanting to learn how to kite surf for the first time or improve upon current level. They have taught our teenage son kite surfing for 3 spring breaks- from beginner to now a pretty dang good for a once a year kite surfer!

We couldn’t be happier. Although son does speak Spanish I do not and every person we dealt with was able to speak English well. Everyone here was super attentive, honest, kind and experienced. Also there are some ridiculously accomplished instructors.

Gretchen Bond

10/10 recommend. Perfect kiteboarding conditions everyday I was there. The hotel was great with beautiful ocean views and balcony as well. Food was fresh and spectacular at the cafe on the beach, and there were many other great spots along the beach to try as well. Tracy and her team were incredibly kind, accommodating, and made every detail of planning seamless. The beach is beautiful and the kiteboarding was amazing. Highly recommend staying at Agaualina and taking lessons at Kite Point. Hope to come back soon.

Solomon Seckler

I spent a month in Cabarete and kited out of Cabarete Kite Point almost every day. Tracy and her team make you feel like family and they're honest players. I already knew how to kite a little when I got there and another school tried to sell me a whole package of full price lessons. Tracy understood I just needed a few hours to get some tips for how to handle the chop and deep water.
