July, 2008: perfect days for windsurfing: perfect days for Kite boarding: perfect days for surfing: The
Cabarete Classic Windsurfing Competition was held from 17th to 20th
of July and Cabarete was offering perfect condtions with nice wind
every day. We saw nice formula races, exciting slalom fights
around the bows and expressive Freestyle action with over 50 competitors
from all over the world and from age 8 until 55. June, 2008: perfect days for windsurfing: 15 perfect days for Kite boarding: 21 perfect days for surfing: 16 The PKRA Kite-World- Cup was held from 25-29 of June. Cabarete saw incredible action on the water and nice parties at night. The winners of the Freestyle competition were Kevin Langeree from Netherlands and Gisela Pulido from Spain. Best Local competitors were Manuel David Rondon at 3rd place and Susi May on 4th place in the women competition. May, 2008: perfect days for windsurfing: 15 perfect days for Kite boarding: 16 perfect days for surfing: 17 May started well the first ten days with nice and strong wind from East and a big swell from North. Than we got a break with low wind and flat ocean for some days before a new swell came in with rain and gusty winds first before we got perfect conditions back for kite boarding, windsurfing and surfing. At the end we got an other 3 day break before wind and waves came back for the rest of the month. All in all we had a nice time with ont so much rain and nice periods with perfect wind and decent waves. April, 2008: perfect days for windsurfing: 16 perfect days for Kite boarding: 17 perfect days for surfing: 21 April Started like March ended with funtastic conditions again for windsurfing and Kite boarding. We got nice and very strong wind (20-30 KN) from East for the first 14 days. But than the wind sucked and just came back for the last 4 days of the month. Lucky if you were here the first half of the month and bad if you were here the second one. The swells were huge in the first week, but very messy and blown out. The rest of the month the surf was smaller but nice and clean and there was just a few days with almost flat conditions.
March, 2008: Finally Cabarete Road get fixed and dust and mud find an end in these days. So we hope now more tourists are coming back to our town and they can enjoy more their shoppings. Cabarete is offering a lot of high lights in March starting with the "Master of the ocean" followed with competions for surfing and windsurfing the second weekend and the "Castillos de arena". perfect days for windsurfing: 21 perfect days for Kite boarding: 27 perfect days for surfing: 25 Cabarete offered funtastic conditions again for windsurfing and Kite boarding. We got nice and strong wind from East almost every day. Winds were like in summer but we got some huge swells too. In Eastern week it got soo big that police tried to forbid kite surfing, but it was difficult because there were so many people going out. This swell was one of the biggest we saw in the last years and just a few Kite boarders very crasy enough to cross the reef break. All in all I in 11 years I never saw a winter with such good wind like the last two month. Especially in March we got summer winds compared with winter swells. This sounds like Hawaii and the good thing it was mostly not so crowded than the last years.
