Buen Hombre Kitesurfing Day Trip with Lessons

Summary

Kitesurf Lessons on the Dominican Republic’s Windiest Beach

This kitesurfing day trip at Buen Hombre gives you hands-on lessons with local instructors right on the windiest beach in the Dominican Republic. All equipment is included and you’ll have plenty of space to learn without crowds or obstacles—plus some real laughs along the way that stick with you long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

We pulled up to Buen Hombre just after breakfast, and right away I could feel the wind tugging at my shirt—way stronger than anything I’d felt in Cabarete. The sand here’s almost white, and there’s hardly anyone around except a few locals chatting by their boats. Our instructor, Luis, grinned and said, “Perfect day for learning.” He handed us our gear and showed us how to set up the kite right there on the flat water. Honestly, I was nervous but also kind of excited—never tried kitesurfing before.

The lesson started slow: first just getting used to the pull of the kite, then figuring out how to balance with my feet in the shallow water. Luis kept shouting tips over the wind—he’s been teaching here for years and you can tell he knows every gust. At one point I wiped out and got a mouthful of salty water (not my finest moment), but it was actually pretty funny. The sun was bright but not too hot thanks to that steady breeze. There were no rocks or crowds to worry about—just open space and that constant whoosh in your ears.

After three hours, my arms felt like noodles but I managed to stand up for a few seconds on the board—felt like flying for a split second. We hung out with Luis afterwards; he told us stories about growing up here and why Buen Hombre is so special for kitesurfers. Walking back along the beach, toes still sandy, I realized I hadn’t thought about work or anything else all day—just wind, water, and trying something new.
