The annual Cabarete Kiteboarding World Cup event is scheduled for 24-29 June at Cabarete Beach. The event is the fourth of ten stops on the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association 2008 World Tour. In addition to its superb beach and natural wind conditions, Cabarete offers a hard-to-beat selection of restaurants and shops, as well as friendly people. Cabarete first made a name for itself as a windsurf destination, and a section of the beach further to the west then evolved to cater for kiteboarding enthusiasts. The event is sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism, and US$40,000 in prize money is up for grabs.
