SUP Cabarete Hurricane Season Update

Issac was a kite storm

When Hurricanes go to the South side of the Dominican Republic, the North Coast gets windy. This was the case with Hurricane Issac. Issac threw off one good SUP day and four excellent kite days. Maui John won the day and the storm. 

Leslie Was Sweet

Cabarete was in the Lee side of the storm the entire time. This means that we got all the surf and offshore winds. Leslie threw some fantastic swell for 5 out of 7 days. Mcloven took one day, Goodwin took one day and Maui John 3 days and the storm.

Kirk was Cool

Kirk threw three days of morning surf, the storm was a bit too far away from Cabarete to block the wind, but  he gave us some nice ridable surf. This storm did not meet our minimum standards to score


Nadine is hanging out
 There is very little reef and land between Europe and the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, this means that there is nothing to block the swell. Swell keeps rolling until it hits reef or land. So even though this storm is far away, Cabarete is experiencing excellent action 2-3 foot over head.
Maui John Leads this storm 2 days to 0 over Mcloven with new comer Iguana Mama Micheal coming on strong.
