Took some lessons with kite xcite a few years a go, top quality instruction and i had a great time! aww i miss cabarete!

Hello Stefan,

thanks for your assistance and advice over the weekend with my problem of overfilled bladders – I greatly appreciate it.

I must remember not to leave the kite out on the hot sand, overfilled with air.

I checked with … so maybe if you contacted her you could add some equipment to the order?

See you maybe next weekend or some time soon

Best regards,
Mark.

Stephen,

Thanks, killer week kiting with you guys!

We can't wait to get back down to Cabarete. We recently published a Cabarete Kiteboarding guide at http://www.sbckiteboard.com . Looking forward to riding with you and the crew again. We will be back down again next summer for sure. Cabarete is the best.

Just got home from an amazing week of kite boarding with the guys at Kitexcite. I was a beginner, never touched a kite before, but now 4 days later I was doing some basic jumps and having the time of my life. I can't wait to come back to kite beach and tear it up some more!! They use amazing methods to teach you, and it's the best money I've spent on a vacation in a long time.
Thanks Stefan, and thanks to everyone there for all the fun and great experience!

Had a great couple of weeks riding in Cabarete thanks to Stephan and the boys at Kitexcite. I came as a beginner, but was up and riding in a couple of days. Real friendly crew, great beach, great hotel, great wind, great water! Amazing place!!!

Everytime I come to Kitexcite, I have an amazing session! The water is warm, wind is steady, the sun is shining and the staff at Kitexcite is always there to get me on the water and riding! Thanks to your great crew and friendly hospitality!
You simply are the BEST!!

Kitexcite is the best place for learning. The location has daily consistent wind. I had a good time for 3 weeks and I’m thinking to return for some more riding. I recommend this school for anybody that would like to learn with the best. Thanks Stefan and your team for everything.

Having taken kiting lessons at two other schools before I went to Kitexcite, I'm in a position to appreciate just how much better it was to work with Stefan and his crew.

Stefan understood that I already knew the basics – equipment, safety, kite control – so he didn't waste my valuable time: he had me out on the water with a board within 30 minutes. He also understood that I was at a point where I didn't need the most expensive personal training, so he assigned a "supervisor" instead. My supervisor, Flacio, was extremely helpful and eager to please: he made sure all my equipment was ready to go and handled all the grunt work…walking my kite out to the launch point, landing the kite and walking it back again. That way, all my time and energy went to developing my skills, not to wasting my effort. It was sort of like having my own personal kite valet…a much better value than the "training" I got for a couple of days at another Cabarete kite school before I quit in disgust and went to Kitexcite.

Cabarete is a great place to learn. The winds are consistent, the water at Kite Beach is relatively calm because of the off-shore reef and there is plenty of space most days for even a clumsy student to stay out of the way. The side-on-shore wind is perfect for learners.

Another good thing is that Stefan uses Best kite models that are appropriate for beginners. Very easy to re-launch after you crash them in the water. I watched students from other schools using high-aspect-ratio kites that I know from experience are tricky to re-launch, which wastes a lot of time and energy.

A few tips about Cabarete: almost no business down there – lodging, restaurants, etc. – will take credit cards or traveler's checks, so be sure to bring plenty of cash with you. And I recommend staying directly on Kite Beach, so you're only a one-minute walk from the school. You Verizon phone won't work in Cabarete, but AT&T will.

Thanks for the lessons stefan! Had an awsome time around some great people last year. Ive now gone ahead to set up my own school for kitesurfing lessons south wales, Cant wait to get involved with this awomse new kitesurfing lifestyle!

Hey KiteExcite team!
Thanks for looking after me during my stay……I forgot to ask FLACO something…I need his email address….can you tell him to send me a message BillyKiter@gmail.com….Gracious, Ciao…Billy

@Curly: Hey Stefan, we didn't meet while I was in cabarete however I used your website for your wind forecasts. Your forecasts seemed the most accurate out of many sites that I looked at. Keep up the hard work.

I have one comment, if it is windy at night then I think it should be in red text…but this is just being picky…I totally understand the concept as you are trying to get people to understand the wind directions that work and the directions that don't. I only managed 2 days of kiting during my trip due to the unfortunate rainy weather but I realize that this is not the norm. I still loved kiting in Cabarete! Hope to meet you the next time i am in town.
