Grand Finale! Partisanship through laughter
Written by Matty Arnold
As you looked across the crowd, you saw a distinct commonality; smiles. Behind these smiles are the children who call Cabarete home. They share the same passion that we all we all have for life; friends, family and Mother Nature.
Saturday Night Live

As we moved into the grande finale of the weekend's long competition, competitors, sponsors and spectators found themselves transfixed upon the musical performance by Wisconsin’s Dirty Disco Kidz at Nikki Beach.
Blue skies, huge smiles and raising money

On the morning of the second day of the competition the sea remained heavy as the northeast swell continued to bombard Cabarete. The breaking wave estimate was 5 feet with short periods of no more than 7 seconds. If riders were going to be able to get out past the surf, they were going to need a decent amount of wind. The wind did not come up in the afternoon, but there was plenty of fun to be had.
Bright lights; big city - Day 2 rocked
Written by Matty Arnold
Well, Cabarete is more of a town, but we felt as though we were in a posh Manhattan nightclub as the second night of KB4K festivities took place at the new lounge and club, Ojo’s. It only took a furtive glance in any direction to realize that we were far from the hustle and bustle of city living. The ocean rhythmically lapped at our feet. Palm trees swayed in the wind like a jellyfish osculating in the Gulf current.
And we are rollin'

The morning was a little cloudy; not the sky, but the water. 5ft barrels zeroed in on Bozo Beach, kicking up the sandy bottom. Their curls led the charge as the waves dumped into a mere 2 feet of water. At sunrise the conditions proved challenging; a foreshadowing for the day’s event. Palm trees began to rustle at 12pm and the wind built throughout the day. The wind speed remained low at 14mph and the direction was onshore. Competitors had to work to get out past the break. The next step was to create some distance between themselves and the beach to allow room for their maneuvers.
Opening night a success

Just like the Big Bang Theory, all the planets alined and the opening night for KB4K was rocking. The fashionable Club Nathalie Simon hosted the event as riders, sponsors and both international and local supporters turned up to help out. Thank you to our platinum sponsors Airbound Apparel, Best Kiteboarding and Dirty Disco Kidz and our gold sponsors Amber Dune Resort & Spa, Miro, Encargo Group, Fred Joyas and Cabarete Beach Houses.
