sure no prob!

I think my dad said it was windy, but i don't remember if he was talking about punta cana. Plus he's not a kiter/sailor so its hard to tell even if he said it was windy.

guys, the season over in Punta Cana is normally after Xmas thru March in the 10-18mph range, sometimes up to 25. October can be rainy. That being said, the best wind is usually up by the Club Med.

I lived there for 3 years and we really wanted to open a 2nd kite school location there because of all the tourists but the wind was too unreliable year round. I did however meet with windsurf instructor who worked at the Club Med in Bavaro, by Punta Cana, and he swears the place has wind from around mid-Dec through March....
