The only water sports competition featuring surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) known as the Master of the Ocean will take place in Cabarete from 23 to 28 February 2016. The annual event takes advantage of the exceptional conditions in the Cabarete area for these watersports.
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, the perfect conditions for windsurfers and kitesurfers.
The 2016 Master of the Ocean organizers say they expect to host 2015 champion Zane Schweitzer and many other international riders including Samuel Perez-Hultz, Fiona Wylde, Luciano Gonzalez, Michael Gebhardt and Brian Talma.
