The Link Between Kiteboarding & Paragliding

So what's the link between paragliding and kiteboarding?

Basically, paragliding is an exciting outdoor activity that is most enjoyable in light or no wind conditions, while kiteboarding (Also referred to as Kitesurfing or Power Kiting) offers the same excitement levels and an adrenaline rush when the wind gets better & stronger.

The dynamics of how the two sports work is also similar which often means "pilots" can easily cross from one sport to the other. Add to this the fact that the Dominican Republic has so much coast and reliable Trade Winds and you start to get the idea!

We use a 2-winch-system for towing Paragliders up over Cabarete Kite Beach!

Fly High & Paraglide Down

Yes the time has come!
We use the payout winch system lent to Kitexcite by the Dominican Free Flying Association (VLD). The device is now installed in our rescue boat.
Basically this system allows us to release 800 meters of rope with a constant pressure in order to tow up paragliders over Cabarete Bay.

We all can now enjoy flights reaching heights of upto 600 meters! From now on, you can be certain that there will be no more such things as boring no-wind days. As soon the wind goes under 8 knots our paragliding instructor gets ready for action…

We'll launch your paraglider from the beach, tow it up to maximum altitude and then you just release the tow line and fly down freely…

Similarly to kitesurfing, also when you paraglide different styles are possible:
From a smooth glide down, while enjoying the amazing view over Cabarete Bay & Kite Beach to a full speed spiral paragliding dive along with some aerobatic tricks, for the more advanced paragliders.

Towing up Tandem Paragliders

Tandem paragliding flights on the beach means to you everyone will be able to join our instructor for a flight as a passenger. No particular experience or knowledge will be needed for this. So just get prepared to experience the feeling of being a bird flying freely over our tropical paradise…
