Everyone in the kiteboarding community is welcome.

Coaches and professional riders
Friends and families traveling with kiters
If you’re an instructor bringing your own students, you’re welcome at Friendly Kite.
If you’re another kite school organizing a trip to Buen Hombre, you’re welcome too.
And if you’re an independent rider who simply wants to kite Buen Hombre, meet other riders, eat at the restaurant, or have a drink after your session, come by and say hello.
We believe that supporting professional instructors, good schools, and the wider kiteboarding community makes Buen Hombre a stronger destination for everyone.
Different schools. Different riders. One kite community.
🇩🇴 Why We Recommend Other Local Businesses
Why would a kite school with its own accommodations recommend other hotels, villas, and local rooms?
Because Friendly Kite believes:
If Buen Hombre grows, we grow.
We don’t want tourism to benefit only one business.
When visitors stay with local property owners, eat at local restaurants, buy from local stores, and use local services, more of the community benefits from kitesurfing tourism.
And that makes the visitor experience better too.
Buen Hombre isn’t a manufactured tourist resort.
It’s a small, safe Dominican fishing village where you can kite during the day, walk through town, meet local people, eat local food, and experience a side of the Dominican Republic that many tourists never get to see.
That’s part of what makes Buen Hombre special.
🌊 Coming to Buen Hombre?
Whether you’re looking for a beachfront apartment, private room, affordable shared accommodation, traditional hotel, or private villa, there’s an option for almost every type of traveler.
And remember:
You don’t have to stay at Friendly Kite to kite with Friendly Kite.
You don’t even have to be a Friendly Kite student to be welcome.
Come as a student.
Come as an independent rider.
Come as an instructor with your students.
Come as another kite school with your group.
Come for the wind. Stay for the village. Experience Buen Hombre. 🇩🇴🪁
