Cheap flight
Hey, there are a lot of cheap flight from Germany as well. Condor has a monthly Promotion with great offers to Puerto Plata (25min from Cabarete). Also Ltur.de offers cheap last minutes.

Surfs up again :-)
The summer is running to an end and the surfs up again. The summer is usually great for beginners and intermediates as the spot Encuentro offers some great waves for experienced surfers too in the winter.
The waves are up again and everybody is happy and smiling. Next to the surf, Encuentro is a beautiful place to be. Friendly people and locals and a good vibe.
Recommended surfschool is the one al the way to the left (Antonio;s). He has all the gear you need and there is always somebody who can help you.

See you in the DR :-)
I am so fortunate to have this great spot as my front-yard.
