Hi All,
Any comments about Dominican Republic would be great.  Best time of year,  presense or
absence of sea lice (infant thimble jellyfish...NOT a joke - ask anyone  who's gotten them),
which rental concessions are good or bad and why, same kind of stuff about restuaraunts,
and hotels, friendliness of locals or lack thereof, you get the picture.

I've been to margarita and sail south east florida coast - av

 
 
 

Dominican Republic Info Wanted

Went to the DR in April.. booked thru World windsurfing in Newburyport
MA.  Turns out the best wind is Dec- March or sunmer months.  Never heard
or caught sea lice.  Wind turns on about 12:30 everyday. 4.5 - 5.0 days
normal during prime season.  Choppy close to shore with a dynamite reef
break just downwind with waist to overhead waves depending upon season.
We stayed at Las Orchideas Apts.  A good deal no need to stay at the
beach... this was cheaper and you have a kitchen.  Several concessioins on
beach, we used BIC boards.  The Tempo or Vivavce were the best choices
there.  I'd use Vela the next time to have use of Mistral lineup. Or bring
your own wave board.  Food is nothing special MTN biking  is available,
but surfing is excellent at nearby beaches, BYOB. Good luck.
