Wind is back to Cabarete
Who can believe that May was the best wind month so far this year. We got 14-16 days perfect winds for Kite surfing and windsurfing. The high season is over, there are no people, waves are small, but the wind is thrilling us up. But unfortunately this happend all in the first 20 days. After this we got 10 days without any wind and hope for windsport. Just surfing was good and standup paddling was bringing some fun.

Happy Eastern without wind

Locals could enjoy eastern partys with 10,000 of local people without having stress to loose a good wind day. Wind is coming back this week.

And it's true. We really got wind this week. Perfect conditons with nice waves and up to 25 kn and this already 4 days in a row. This is totally record this year.

Finally wind

Beginning of March is bad again with lots of rain and very less wind. Second half is starting better. Sun is coming out, tempertures are rising and wind is getting better. But all in all we still have very bad conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding compare to the lst years. Since 10 years I didn't see such a bad winter season like this year. All the atlantic storms were far away and just blocking our wind. We didn't get any strong north wind and neither huge swells from the north.

Happy Surfers

The surf is not huge but we got lot of nice, glassy days at Encuentro. Windsurfer and Kitesurfer were not so happy. In 12 years we never saw so less wind in February. It was just enough to find a new Master of the ocean this year. The results are:

1st Luciano Gonzalez
2nd Emmanual Rondon
3rd Oscar de la Cruz

Wind and weather is still funtastic in Cabarete, until 19th of Dec. Sun and wind almost every day. But than for the starting of the high season weather is changing and we get lots of rain and no Wind anymore for the rest of the year. To bad, because we finished just in time with our construction and were ready for the seson to start. "Big Air Kite School" is now bigger, nicer and we established a new little "No Work Team" shop right at the beach.
