Windsurfing competitors from all over the world are expected to compete during a week of racing and festivities.
he Cabarete Race Organization is a newly formed body made up of all the windsurfing businesses in Cabarete. These are Surf Resort, CariBIC, Fanatic, Vela/Spinout, Sport Away, Happy and Surf & Sport. The purpose of the race is to promote Cabarete as a windsurfing and multi-sport holiday resort.
Cabarete has long been known as one of the best places for windsurfing in the world. In the early 90’s, Cabarete was the site of four consecutive World Cup events.
