We are delighted to announcing the new Spinning Studio location here in Cabarete, at the gorgeous Breezes Resort Hotel.

Spinning is (in our opinion) the best work out ever to complement your kiteboarding.

Join a class during your vacation and keep with your fitness routine, or try something new....

The Association of Cabarete Wind Sports and the local Tourism Department representatives met earlier this week with the shared goal of making Cabarete Beach safer.

Main points include:

Kiting only downwind of Azzuro Hotel, leaving the upwind section of the Bay for windsufers and swimmers

Respecting the 50m - no kite zone - please no kiting close to the shore

Encouraging visitors to take lessons only from accredited kiteboarding centers that are operating officially inside the rules and regulations of the Dominican government.

Updated signs showing zoning, signs with a clear map of Cabarete Bay and the local rules, increased communication with independent kiters thru their hotel check in, Tourist Police training to help them enforce the rules and keep Cabarete safer, and a full scale media campaign are in the works....

Together we can keep Cabarete Bay safe for everyone!
