Las Terrenas has protected areas that allow first-timers to get their feet wet and stand up unhindered by strong winds. This is a great option for families travelling from America or Europe who would like to add some adventure and fun to their holiday.
Whereas intermediate and experienced kiteboarders will love the constant wind blowing across the long beaches. You can check out the weather conditions for yourself on the wind forecast for the Dominican Republic. This might inspire you to take your kiting to the next level by trying a hydrofoil – a big wing under a sort of surfboard, added to your kite quiver, which gives you a whole new speed. Only for advanced riders, trying a kitefoil will challenge you and make you feel new sensations.
After a fun day in the sun, you will be welcomed to relax with your instructors and have some drinks. Beach, surf, and a friendly atmosphere – that’s what can be expected from Kiteworld.
