Playa Encuentro

Playa Encuentro is the staple surf spot on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Its reef gives the perfect conditions year around for learning how to surf. Tropical storms and hurricanes push bigger wave systems here later in the year while Winters here are simply massive. It gets windy here almost every afternoon so surf is the in the morning, but if you’re a kite surfer it’s a great time to ride waves.

This lady is full of potential, and at just 17 years of age, we can’t wait to see where she goes after taking home the Lady’s Master of the Ocean title.

Both really know what sportsmanship and humbleness mean, but aren’t afraid to spice things up with some silliness. Cabarete will miss you guys, thanks for making it!!
