Interview : Daphnée Laliberté

You"re a Canadian living in Cabarete. How did you get into kiteboarding and when did you move to Cabarete?
I first started kiting on snow in Canada around december 2001.
During my break year in University I decided to work and then go to a warm country to learn how to kite on the water.
I ended up in Cabarete (D.R.) for two months

After my vacation, I was supposed to go back in Quebec to get back to my summer job (sailing instructor), but since I was into kiteboarding, I wasn"t really interested in going back, but ran out of money.

I decided to quit my job and to follow the IKO Instructor course to be able to make some money and stay in Cabarete over the summer.

Since then, I have been working as a kite instructor at Kite Park Cabarete.
