Meet Nino
I grew up in Cabarete — on this beach, in this wind. I've been kitesurfing for over 25 years, competed at national level, and earned my IKO certification back when the sport was still finding its feet.
I've been running my own school since 2015 because I wanted to do things my way: small groups, real attention, and lessons built around you.
Trained by the best, teaching you the same.
Nino is a Dominican Republic national champion with 18+ years of coaching on this exact beach. He's seen every mistake, every breakthrough, and every moment a student suddenly gets it — and he'll get you there faster because of it.
