Default Best Kite School in Cabarete

Definatly the Kite Lounge, on Kite Beach.

Their lessons include free supervision. So not only the most professional, but he best value as well. Sven is a great guy who has been here for 8 years and has it all under control.

They also have a small guest house with 6 rooms availalbe for short and long term.

Can a man weighing 300 lbs kite surf, I know you need the vest, which would probabally have to be custome made , but I do not know the lift factor size of chute etc.

I'd give it a go....

Yes, you just need a bigger kite, which is easy because wind constantly changes therefore there are many kite sizes to choose from. Trust me, it is hella-fun, you should do it.
Well, at least we'll have extreme-condos!
Though, I have no doubt that it will be the condo price which is extreme.
Beautiful piece of land however.

Well, so far we have nothing. We have Extreme Guantanamo at the moment. The place looks like a prison camp. Nobody really knows what will happen with the property. I guess we just wait and see.
Good thing we have a new hangout however in the new Kitelounge location.

Dare2Fly Kite school at Kite beach is the one ,with the best customer service. I'm there every week end and see whats going on at the beach , for sure I would not want to be customer in any of the other schools there.The Agualina Kite resort on the same premises is the nicest Hotel at this Beach.

Funny that you say Dare2fly has the best customer service. It's the only school on kitebeach that doesnt have a rescue boat for there students.

Having that said, I dont think there are really bad schools on Kitebeach, after all they all have IKO instructors.

But pure on the deal, nobody beats The Kitelounge on the financial part. The package with the free supervision for the rest of your holiday is the best deal on the beach.

Also with gear sales they are cheap. I bought a new board for $ 400 including straps, the cheapest I could get anywere else on Kitebeach was $ 400 for a second hand board.

Do you know the price for one week intensive course (12 hours lessons and 1 week unlimited supervision + rental) at the schools? At Kite Club it is 750 USD.
