Preparations are underway for Cabarete to again be the Caribbean water sports capital when the Master of the Ocean event that brings together the best water sports athletes in the world starts this Sunday, 23 February. This wave riding triathlon continues through Thursday, 27 February. Professionals as well as amateur athletes will be competing in windsurfing, surfing, kite boarding and sup-surfers (stand up paddle). Cabarete’s consistently good winds make all the difference to the event, attracting world famous competitors.
The event brings together some of the world’s top water sportsmen/women to test their physical condition, equipment and experience against earth wind and waves. There is an overall winner, known as the Master of the Ocean as well as individual winners in each discipline. The event owes its success to the fact that Cabarete offers a wide array of complementary attractions and tours, combined with great gastronomy and a partying environment.
The event is now in its twelfth year.
