Windsurfing at El Yaque

The spot that put Margarita on the world wind-sports map.

Best time
Afternoon
Area
South coast
Duration
2–5 h
Difficulty
Moderate

Before kiting there was windsurfing, and El Yaque hosted international competitions for years. The conditions have not changed: steady thermal wind, flat water and a community that has been at it for decades. Schools rent gear by the hour or the day, and someone will always walk you through the spot if you ask.
