Puerto Plata Province

Punta Rucia

A two-hour drive west of Cabarete, Punta Rucia sits on the edge of Isabela Bay, one of the most pristine stretches of coastline in the DR. Crystal-clear, shallow water over white sand makes this ideal for flat-water tricks, downwinders, and just soaking in the scenery.

  • Flat-water lagoon conditions
  • Vibrant coral reefs and marine life
  • Remote beach with no crowds
  • Suitable for intermediate and advanced riders

La Boca

Just a short ride from Cabarete, La Boca is where the Yásica River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The mix of fresh and salt water creates unusually flat conditions, perfect for working on technical riding without the chop of the open ocean.

  • Flat-water river mouth conditions
  • Ideal for transitions and technique
  • Close to Cabarete, easy half-day trip
  • Suitable for intermediate riders upwards

Buen Hombre kiteboarding, remote northwest DR
Northwest DR

Buen Hombre

The most remote of our three destinations, Buen Hombre sits on the northwest tip of the Dominican Republic. Fewer kitesurfers, more wind, and an authentic local village that hasn't been touched by mass tourism. A proper adventure for riders who want something different.

  • Remote, uncrowded location
  • Strong, consistent northwest wind
  • Authentic Dominican village experience
  • Best for confident, experienced riders
