MASTER OF OCEAN 2016

The event will be at Playa Encuentro, 4 km from Cabarete near Sosua, where in February and March, the open sea with a shallow and sandy ocean floor, stimulates the formation of large waves. The constant wind and the excellent climate make it possible to go surfing, SUP (variant of surfing where you stand on a board and move using a paddle), windsurfing and kitesurfing simultaneously.

In the morning, on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic there are waves without wind, ideal for surfing and SUP.

Then around noon appear the trade winds, creating good waves for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

All this has lead to the creation of Master of Ocean, the most important competition of extreme water sports in the Dominican Republic, which aims to overtake Hawaii and Costa Rica, attracting fans of these disciplines all year round.

                                   2015

                     Zane Schweitzer (Hawaii) won the title for the second consecutive year. 

                            The local athlete Samuel "Sammy" Hults Perez finished second.

                                                Fiona Wylde, won in the female category.

The award "Future Master of the Ocean" was awarded to Max Self, who, along with six other children, showed great skill in the "Kids Surf Expression Session".

During the event, in addition to the competition on the water, there will be internships, games and entertainment for athletes and spectators.
