Cabarete Kite Festival is back: 2023

Cabarete Kite Festival 2023, Dominican Republic. We are all waiting for this top event!

Cabarete is home to great talented athletes, with international competitors providing big support to the event. Athletes in Cabarete work hard to achieve their goals as local kitesurfers and represent the Dominican Republic.

Cabarete has been hosting world-class kite-boarding events for years now, and has a strong reputation worldwide, also thanks to the ongoing thermal trade winds that are a top feature of this very well-known kiting location. Besides talent and ideal wind conditions, Cabarete is known for some kite-boarding hot-spots, great for freestyle riders that do magic on the water.

About

The Cabarete Kite Festival is all about water sports, ocean awareness, and entrepreneurship. It is usually a week-long event that focuses on extreme kiteboarding, as well as networking, surfing, sunset & chill music on the beach. Participate to admire some of the best kiteboarding performances you’ll ever see.

Special guests are hosted at the event in Cabarete, to share experiences with the audience, on a variety of topics such as health and wellness, tech, sports, AI, and ocean conservation.

As part of the festival, the world’s best kiteboarders will be challenged for a one-time opportunity: the winner will be gifted with a ticket to enter the Official Red Bull King of the Air Qualification round in Cape Town!

We look forward to welcoming you to our Caribbean town.

WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE INTERSECTION BETWEEN CONSERVATION, KITEBOARDING, AND NETWORKING

EVENT INFO

Cabarete Sostenible

In Cabarete, on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, over 65% of the population depends on tourism. As a result of the nationwide lockdown, thousands in our local small community of roughly 20,000 are without any resources and are facing food shortages.

“Cabarete Sostenible” is a local project that aims to create a sustainable future through a coalition of NGOs, community leaders, food providers and volunteers, that are striving to solve Cabarete’s food-shortage caused by the COVID19 crisis. The goal is to create a food sovereignty program and enabling communities to feed themselves.

Visit www.cabaretesostenible.org to find out more and support the cause.

Kitesurfing, Wing Foiling, and Windsurfing are just some of the water sports and fun activities you can practice when staying at Hotel Villa Taina. Cabarete Bay offers many spots for great wave riding, for the most expert riders to beginners and first-time riders.

Wing Foiling in Cabarete, North Coast of the Dominican Republic.

Winging or Flying? What is this extreme sport?
Wing Foiling is The Sport of 2022! And the hottest new sport on the North Shore of the DR!

A combination of kitesurfing and windsurfing that implies the use of a FOIL (A foilboard or hydrofoil board is a surfboard with a hydrofoil that extends below the board into the water. The design lets the board leave the surface of the water) and a WING (like a kite that you hold with your hands).

Winging is such a fun sport! Less bulky and quite easy to set up, also highly addictive. To begin with wing foiling, you don’t need to be a windsurfer or a kiter, though you should practice having control on some type of board before getting started.

Cabarete is once again becoming the central spot in America and the Caribbean to practice a new extreme and trending water sport, thanks to its versatility, accessibility, and hype: it is just fun! 

Visit Cabarete and get the most out of your Wing Foiling experience!
