Cabarete has been chosen as a host destination for one of the most innovative and fast-growing disciplines in the foiling world: the SFT Downwind Parawing World Cup, happening June 17–21, 2026. This event brings together the world’s top parawing athletes, media teams, and foiling enthusiasts for a week of high-performance downwind racing in one of the most reliable wind zones on the planet.
And if you’re coming for the event, there is one place that consistently stands out for comfort, location, and athlete-ready convenience: www.oceandreamcabarete.com
🪂 What Makes Parawing Downwind Foiling So Special?
Parawing downwind foiling is the newest frontier in foil sports. Riders use a lightweight, single-skin wing on a bar to generate initial power, then transition to pure swell-riding — fast, fluid, and hands-free.
It’s a discipline built for:
- Long downwind lines
- Consistent wind
- Open ocean bumps
- High-speed linking
Exactly what Cabarete delivers every single afternoon.
