Nice trip the other month to Caberete. A typical Azza trip, “Hi Lew hows it going we are going to Dom Rep tomorrow for 2 weeks so deal with it”. I never went to Caberete before to be honest I avoided it as all I saw was horror chop vids on the net. No wind on the first 5 or 6 days so we did some stand up paddle boarding. It’s a very hot place, one of the only places I have ever not needed a wetsuit at all.
Caberete is much smaller then I ever imagined. All you hear is how its a Mecca for kitesurfing so you expect it to be big. In fact its just one road which goes through it and a big bay. Enquentro is further downwind which has nice waves and kickers and La Boca upwind is very flat. Out the front at Bozo beach is a bit choppy but there is a good reef which I got to kite one day too. 7/10.
Looks stunning.
Do you think you’ll go there to kite again? Was it worth it?
I don’t think I would go out of my way to go there. There are simply more available locations closer to home that would be cheaper and provide more I think. In 2 weeks I saw all of the spots and kited a fair bit, it does have great wind records. The nightlife is great fun but again you will have seen it all in 2 weeks.
Cabarete overwhelms you with how small it is especially La Boca the flat water spot which from video’s appears big but when you go 3 kites in the main lagoon is hard work traffic wise.
My favourite thing was how warm it was in the sea and out.
It was definitely worth going to as is anywhere new- good or bad its about the experience.
Looks like a great trip – its cool to see some raw footage! New site looks good too!

Get your arse out here to Brasil you fucktard! Aaron knows the score. Wind every day for six months, hot, empty beaches, flat water, waves, cheap beer, good food, what ever you want.
Give me a heads up if you do, as it would be good to catch up, get a beer and do some riding.
