2 Dominicaanse spot deze keer, tegenwoordig wat minder populair dan in de eerste jaren van het kiteboarden maar nog steeds een top plek om op vakantie te gaan en niet alleen naar Cabarete.
Punta Salinas:
When kiteboarders think of the Dominican Republic, the first thing that comes to mind is typically the busy beaches and party vibes of Cabarete. But sometimes a kite trip should be about just that – kiting. On the southern coast of the DR is a kite spot so pure it will blow you away. This sleepy kite spot is a windy escape for the locals, but they’re ready to welcome some new faces!
Ready for your secret session in the Dominican Republic? Head to Punta Salinas. When it comes to hidden gems, this spot is a rare one. Only an hour from a major airport, Punta Salinas is a small ocean front fishing village at the end of a bay which is home to a salt mine and naval base. When you first drive up to the kite spot, it feels like discovering something special.
Buen Hombre:
With so much coastline, there is no shortage of great kite spots in the Dominican Republic. But if you're looking for the best wind, you'll want to head to the North Coast. If you're reading this, you've almost certainly heard all about Cabarete... but there are plenty more hidden gems along those Northern beaches just waiting to be sessioned.
To put it into perspective, it would take you well over 5 hours to drive across the North Coast, from Monti Cristi to Samana. Peppered along that coastline are beaches where kiteboarders are few and far between.
