            COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY

            We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to improving your windsurfing skills is time to practise. Our instructors will create a safe learning environment, enabling you to train and to receive professional feedback on your actions. 

            Depending on the type of lesson and content we either teach you in small groups or individually.

            In order to provide you with instant feedback especially during our advanced lesson program, our instructors use Radio Headsets enabling them to communicate with you while riding.

            Flexibility

            We understand that choosing a Windsurfing lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.

            After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!

             

            A word about

            ION CLUB Cabarete

            While searching for the route to the Indies, Christopher Columbus discovered the island of Hispaniola in 1492. Today, the island is divided into two parts: Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Cabarete is located on the north coast, which has become a real paradise for kitesurfers, and more recently for wingfoilers. The village has grown since the 90's, and has become a cosmopolitan meeting place at the beach as well as on the lagoon, with ideal sailing conditions most of the year. It is here in Cabarete that our ION CLUB Dominican Republic center is located, next to the Villa Taina Hotel, south of the lagoon.

            BEST PERIODS

            December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September

            WIND

            The wind in Cabarete is often light in the morning, but it strengthens around noon under the influence of the trade winds. The best wind conditions are from January to March and from June to September. The reef is about 600 meters from the beach, ideal for wave lovers, and has depth. In the large lagoon the water is flat and easy to access. Sometimes there are chops, but this spot always offers easy and safe sailing conditions. From May to October just in front of ION CLUB Cabarete, the wind is side shore and comes from the right, varying between 20 and 25 knots. From November to April, the wind is more side-offshore and less constant, and the waves are higher and more frequent. Wave lovers, you have been warned! Cabarete is the most famous place for kitesurfing and wingfoiling in the Dominican Republic.

            WAVES

            From November to April , the conditions are perfect for intermediate wave riders and wave freaks. Upwind of the center there is a shallow water section where beginners and intermediates feel comfortable and the tuition conditions are excellent. Beginners and intermediates can practice close to the shore while more experienced windsurfers can conquer the waves on the reef.

            HOW TO GET TO CABARETE ?

            Puerto Plata Airport

            The closest airport to Cabarete is the Gregorio Luperon International Airport in Puerto Plata, on the north coast of the island and about 30 km west of Cabarete. Taxi services are available at all times as well as car rental services. Few flights from Europe land in Puerto Plata in recent years. If you choose to come via Puerto Plata, it is better to fly via Frankfurt or North America.

            Santo Domingo Airport

            An easier trip from France and Western Europe would be arriving at the international airport Las Americas in Santo Domingo, which is located in the capital on the south coast of the Dominican Republic. It is about a 3h 30 - 4h drive from Cabarete. The Spanish airlines Iberia and Air Europa offer flights via Madrid almost every day. On site, taxi and car rental services are available at all times. Rental cars can usually be returned to the airport in Puerto Plata.

For those transiting from Eastern Europe, it is recommended to first take a connecting flight at the nearest and most convenient airport from a Western European city, and then take a direct flight to Puerto Plata.
