Dominican Republic
Cabarete
Kite Beach
POP (puerto plata) is 20 min away. Santiago is 90 min away.
Taxi or moto taxi (motoconcho). you can also try the carro publico, which are the shared taxis... very cheap.
eXtreme hotel. it was perfect! right in front of the best surf breaks and on it's own little point. they have everything that a kite surfer needs, and a huge skate ramp... really cool place and tons of fun.
calin's snack shop on kite beach, but if you go across the street, you can eat for half the price. also go to the swiss steak house.
for cool, go to LAX in town
everything to do with action sports, ocean world for amusement type fun, or chill nature walks.
$50/day for food, transportation and bar money was plenty. you can go more of less depending on your style.
perfect!!! sideshore, protective reef, nice waves.
winter is good, summer is good... spring is ok and fall is great surfing.. i've been there multiple times and always had fun. there is always wind, but good wind is the winter and summer.
warm, flat inside the reef, and nice big sets on the reef.
the infamous dominican/expat land shark .... (i am kitesurf instructor...)
lots of pros here. juan marco, jose luis... all the big names. catch them handing out at the Kite Lounge or in town at Lax
The Kite Louge, and the contact is Sven. he's a really cool guy who can help out with everything.

don't leave your lines out on the beach. don't bring any attitude.
it's hard NOT to have fun!!!!
can be busy, but not that bad as you can ride the whole north coast so you can go 2 min and be away from everyone.
