Super Surf for kite Beach Cabarete

Big Wave Action is here...it always seems that NFL Super Bowl Weekend brings Classic Big Wave Action, Rain and Cool Temps. This year is no different...surf is pounding, rain is failing and the Super Parties are coming together. I know a lot of beach goers don´t care for this type of weather, but hey...it´s freaking hot in the tropics and generally flat surf so this is a time of celebration for year round residents. Cool, Rainy, Big Surf, and good parties!

Early Kite gives way to late SUP wave action

Wow...the big Nasty is hear...but wait...late will be great for Paddle Boarding head high surf! Sunrise brought 25knot North Westerly Wind with head high surf...but as usual, this "clearing wind " will fade quickly  through out the day. There is a 64% chance of super SUP wave action as we near Sunset. Notice in the images below that the Swell (Amber in color) is hours away form Kite Beach Cabarete and a HUGE Low Pressure System is charging off the Coast of Florida. this means that there will be good SUP action for the next 52 hours...then we will get back into a "clearing Wind" situation with a strong possibility of another AM Kite trip to Cabarete...

hmmm...Quality Surf for Kite Beach Cabarete

Slow lift...this big Low Pressure System (white n blue in color) is slowly lifting North West which gives Kite Beach Cabarete small flat waves, light rain, cloud cover and  AC like temperatures. The Swell (amber in color) is just hitting Havana now and is a day away from hitting Kite Beach Cabarete. The Swell (Amber color) seems to have more West that North in it which does not work so well for us here on Kite Beach Cabarete because Cuba, Florida and the Bahamas catch or block most of the swell moving West to East. The good news is that there should be a nice swell Thursday Morning with lite winds...so let´s paddle Kite Beach Cabarete

How to make a paddle board turn

Wana make a Paddle or Surf board turn? Step back! Stability comes from a wide stance, a turny board comes from a narrow stance. Most wave riders can move the back foot back, but struggle to slide the front foot back...if you want to make a board turn...get the front foot back
