FOIL DRIVE EXPERIENCE

For Foil Drive enthusiasts, the challenge isn’t bringing their gear—it’s ensuring they have enough batteries to maximize their time on the water. That’s where we come in.

  • Tailored Battery Access: With 10 Foil Drive Max batteries on hand, we customize your stay to match your battery needs.
  • A Head Start on Your Session: The first Max battery and fast charger are included for free when you stay with us.
  • Seamless Arrival: Just bring your Max Foil Drive setup, and you’ll find fully charged Max batteries and fast chargers waiting in your luxury condo.
  • Guidance: Your host, Eric, a passionate foiler and wing foiler in Cabarete for years, is here to provide insights on conditions, expectations, and local tips. We do not give FD lessons or rent full equipment and we expect riders to be aware foiling is an extreme sport that carries inherent risks and to be fully autonomous in the ocean.

THE SPOT and RIDING CONDITIONS 

The main bay of Cabarete offers exceptional foiling conditions, combining safety, space, and a hassle-free environment so you can focus on pure riding enjoyment.

  • Expansive & Safe Waters: The entire 2 km bay is deep enough for foiling, with shallow reefs only at the far east and west edges, leaving the rest open for smooth sessions.
  • Ride with Peace of Mind: No unwelcome surprises—no sea urchins, jellyfish, stingrays, or sharks to worry about. Just uninterrupted riding in crystal-clear waters.
  • Sargassum-Free Zone: Thanks to our ideal north-facing location, sargassum struggles to enter the bay. The wind-driven current naturally keeps it offshore, giving riders a rare, pristine foiling spot in the Caribbean.
  • Warning : The reef at KITEBEACH is way too shallow for foiling : absolutely avoid ! same for the 2 reefs at the 2 east-west extreme of the main bay .

FOIL DRIVE FOR ALL LEVELS

Beginners: On the east side of the bay, you’ll find pristine, flat waters, ideal for getting started and experiencing the thrill of foiling above the water.

Progression: Before heading to the reef, the entire bay provides a safe, non-breaking swell, perfect for refining your foil control and dialing in your pumping technique. Expect smooth, 10-20 second rides on these gentle swells—ideal for building confidence.

Intermediate & Advanced: More experienced riders take on the outside reef, where solid, incoming swells (5 to 7 feet) bring adrenaline-pumping sessions. As you reach the breaking sections, you can seamlessly connect back inside the bay—and if your legs hold up, keep the ride going on the inside swell. The setup is so well-designed that riders can effortlessly foil for 60+ seconds at a time.

Cabarete offers the perfect balance of safety, progression, and pure excitement—whether you’re just starting out or chasing the ultimate ride.

SWELL SPECTRUM :Prime Caribbean Location

Nestled on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, Cabarete boasts ideal exposure to North and Northeast Atlantic ground swells, making it a true paradise for foil sports enthusiasts. Whether you prefer wing foiling, prone foiling, or assisted foiling, you’ll enjoy consistent 2 to 5-foot waves right in front of your condo—90% of the time.

Season (December – April)

Winter delivers powerful Atlantic swells, with cold fronts guaranteeing weekly wave action. Average swells range from 5 to 6 feet, but 4 to 5 times each season, they can reach massive 8 to 10-foot heights—a true playground for thrill-seeking foilers.

Season ( May – July)

Summer delivers mostly  2 to 4 feet East wind swell from the trade winds that are well established during this time of the year: perfect set up  for easy progression and if you like to Foil Drive in the morning and Wing Foil in the afternoon.

Season (August – November)

During these months, tropical depressions roll through the Atlantic, generating incredible 3 to 6-foot swells. Mornings are typically windless and glassy, offering pristine conditions and weaker thermal winds can be on and off, offering ultimately no wind conditions the entire day: my favorite months for Foil Drive action !!

FOIL DRIVE COACHING 

Prepare for an adrenaline rush! This year, we were thrilled to host the legendary FOIL DRIVE rider Paul Cooper ( @paulcooperfoils) from Hawaii along with an awesome group from Florida (@Finandfoil). They were blown away by the reliability of our foil conditions, each burning through 6 batteries a day! If you’re eager to master the art of carving and truly foiling a wave, Paul is offering exclusive group clinics where you’ll gain invaluable riding techniques and gear tips. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from the best. Contact us now to arrange a Paul Cooper clinic for your group or a one-on-one session and elevate your foil game to new heights!
