We went as beginners with just a day a half to learn, and are so so happy we took the time to try it! We had great equipment at our disposal, were right in front of our hotel (the Extreme Hotel) and had about the most hardworking, flexible, understanding guide ever - Cabo!! He was the best!! Great instructor in... More

I took a one-day kiteboarding lesson in the states about a year prior to visiting Gokite in Cabarete. I could launch the kite and get up on the board, but not very reliably before my lessons at Gokite. I was paired up with a world-class instructor, Cabo, who spent one-on-one time with me for about 5 days. By the end... More

Thank you Richard and all the guys for your help. Everyone was patient, helpful and encouraging. My 8 yo had a great time with the kite and wish I had a few more days to really get a feel for it before it was time to go. It really didn't take a lot of strength thanks to the harness but... More

Richard (the owner) and his assistants were fantastic, patient and fun to hang out with. I booked 3 weeks of supervision and lessons through the Extreme hotel which gave me the chance to take lessons and kiteboard all day long for 3 weeks (as long as there was wind). This is the best possible way to learn to kiteboard because... More

Richard runs the school from Chicigua Bar at Extreme Hotel. The staff is made up of either pro or very experienced Kiteboarders...it's super cool to watch your instructor throw down tricks before your lesson. They are also really cool guys to hang out with later in the evening or during the off days without wind (far and few between). This... More

The school was very professional and the instructors were very knowledgeable and patient. They were always willing to help, answer questions, give instruction and help us succeed. I was very impressed, especially since I am also a teacher. More

Richard and the crew at gokite have got you covered! In way less time than you imagined you'll be cruising out on the ocean with a grin from ear to ear. The Gokite crew are professional, friendly and happy to share with you the love of kite boarding. Learning to kite with them is also part of the local experience.... More
