Welcome to No Work Team in Cabarete,
Dominican Republic
The No Work Team is standing for fun, action, sports, water, wind, vacation and creative designs. Our motto is: "Working is for people who don't surf" and our main sports are surfing, kite surfing and wind surfing. We are living for this, but we also want to share our knowledge with others and invite them to the fabulous world od extreme water sports.
Our key points at Cabarete right now are surfing and kitesurfing. We work with the biggest surf school at Playa Encuentro, which is the best surf spot on the island and we are running the small, professional BIG AIR Kite School, with a very personal touch and service. Our kiteboarding school is located at the best spot of Bozo Beach, only a few minutes walk to downtown. We offer lessons, rentals and tours.
On the other hand we design, produce and sell the original NWT T-shirts and beach wear. To complete our service for your perfect vacation we can help you to find the best accomodation in Cabarete you want and our newest project is that we can find you flights from
Europe or the States to any place in middle or South America to incredible low prices. The only restriction is, that
the flight has to go through Caracas.
The No Work Team History
In 1984 three passionate surfers and windsurfers from Italy (Andrea Ippolito, Mauro Goggi, and Toto Volpe) were vacationing in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), enjoying their daily routine of windsurfing and surfing the whole day.
Day after day and week after week were passing by, until they forgot about the stress at home and the loads of work that was waiting for them there. And one night it happened; they were sitting on the ocean view terrace, looking at the sea and the stars and talking about the furious windsurfing day they had, and decided to change their lives by leaving the work and stress of their hometown and to remain forever addicted to windsurfing.
Every windsurfer has the dream to windsurf all day long with strong wind and warm water, but they carried it out and with the motto "working is for people who don't surf" they established the "NO WORK TEAM." But also in paradise you have to eat, so they created t-shirts with original logos. Because they were very creative people too, and not just windsurfing fanatics, after a while they got the idea to open the first NWT Surf Shop in the world. Today there are 10 original NWT Shops located around the world in places where there is good surfing or windsurfing like Tarifa, Gargano, Cabarete or El Jaque.
To ensure quality, the original NWT Collection is produced only in Italy and Spain. This is the same for the NWT Shop in Cabarete too, which was established in 1992 (500 years after Columbus arrived here) by Andrea Ippolito, the Italian and one of the founding members of the shop in Fuerteventura. He is also responsible for the production in Italy and the shops in Vieste (Italy) and Isla Margarita (Venezuela). In 1991 Joerg Berres from Germany, windsurfer and instructor, came across NWT in Italy and took responsibility for the NWT Shop in Cabarete in spring 1997. Joerg brought the NWT to Internet in 1999 and wrote the Story of NWT.
