Starting today, Tuesday, 23 February 2016, the sails will unfold under the skies of Playa Encuentro in Cabarete for the celebration of the Master of the Ocean.
The Master of the Ocean, the only water sports competition featuring surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) continues until 28 February 2016.
The annual event makes the most of the exceptional conditions for these watersports in the Cabarete area.
Founded by Marcus Bohm in 2013, the competition consists of 12 teams of four athletes. Each rider competes in a discipline, and the top 15 competitors move to a final stage where they compete for the Master of the Ocean title.
Cabarete is the perfect location as there is no wind in the morning for surfers and SUP enthusiasts, and consistent incoming trade winds from noon onwards, perfect conditions for windsurfers and kitesurfers.
The 2016 Master of the Ocean organizers say they will be hosting 2015 champion Zane Schweitzer and many other international riders including Samuel Perez-Hultz, Fiona Wylde, Luciano Gonzalez, Michael Gebhardt and Brian Talma.
