INFO on VELA center in CABARETE (Dominican Republic)?

Post by Banege Lione » Sun, 16 Jul 1995 04:00:00


Hi,

IN my search for wind in the Carrabeans in August, I've found that Cabarete (Dominican
Republic) seems to be a good place to go windsurf.

I've got VELA brochure and their center down there looks good.

HAve any one been there with VELA?  I'D like any feedback on:

1) The conditions in Cabarete: wind, flat, shallow water?

2) the studios in l'Albatros (the cheapest VELA accomodation)

3) VELA's rental equipment

4) Things to do around Cabarete.

Thanks

Lionel

Wind? Yes
Flat? Not neccessarily, though I here it is in the summer.
Shallow? No.  

The bay (inside) area is flatter than the reef, the reef kicks up some awsomely
beautiful waves. ;)

Highly recomended, a little off on the quieter west side of town.
Liked it.

Top notch, best in cabarete. Even more so, their instruction was excellent
when I was there - free clinics every day, before noon.
