Here are two photos taken today of the fiber-optic cables now installed in the pool cement; at night, these will glow and look like tiny stars floating on the water. The deeper part of the pool will have 4 lights which will change colour very gradually through thousands of different hues……..

Just came back from an excellent SUp ( stand up paddle surfing ) session at our ’semi’ secret spot.

It was excellent. Glassy, head high and very long rides. My surfing buddie came out and was the first to test the new naish 11′6” SUP that we will be using for the Swell cabarete Surf camp.

He seemed to really like the board since he was catching plenty of good long rides with it. I was out with the 11′4” Naish SUP and also caught a good bunch of waves.

Naish SUP

The forecast looks good for the rest of the week as well, for all sports: Surfing will be good for at least 5 days the coming week. SUP every day of the week, and the kite and windsurfers should also be happy with a good 18-25 knots wind forecast here in Cabarete.

Tha’s why Swell Surf camp here in the Dominican republic is your ultimate boarders paradise for all watersports.

See you this winter in the water for a Stand up Paddle session on the reef?

Hasta pronto.

This morning, I was up at 6am to get to Encuentro and catching my first waves at 6.20am. In fact, I’m surprised to say that this morning’s summer swell of about 1.8 metres was fantastic. I got some really long rides using the South Point Fish we bought for the surf hostel – good choice of board as it turns out. Possibly one of the best ever surfs at Encuentro – only 3 of us in the water until 7am :)

Tomorrow looks even better; 2.2 metres on the forecast so I’m going to get myself out of bed even earlier – a 5.45am start ‘cos I want to be on those waves at first light! It shows that a caribbean surf vacation can also work in the summer here in the Dominican Republic!
