Ariel is a legend in the skies of Cabarete – and far beyond

Ariel Corniel was born in the Dominican Republic – more precisely in the small but world-famous coastal town of Cabarete. There, where trade winds, sun and waves create ideal conditions for kitesurfers, Ariel discovered his passion for the sea and the wind at an early age. Even as a teenager, he attracted attention with his exceptional technique, impressive athleticism and a natural talent that did not go unnoticed.

The road to the top

Ariel quickly became one of the most successful kitesurfers in the world. Multiple World Cup champion, celebrated athlete at international competitions and role model for a whole generation of young Dominicans. In a discipline that combines strength, balance and creativity, Ariel has always been a style-defining name.

CabareteBeachHouses has supported Ariel for many years – out of conviction and with great pleasure. For us, it was not just a partnership, but a matter close to our hearts to support an exceptional athlete from our community on his way to the top of the world.

A new chapter in Sicily

After his active professional career, Ariel decided to pass on his knowledge and passion – in his own personal way. He founded his own kite school in Sicily, where he now teaches students from all over the world. Here, at a new but no less fascinating spot, he remains true to the sport and his philosophy: freedom, precision and the joy of gliding over the water.

Cabarete remains his home

Even though Ariel now lives in Europe, Cabarete will always be his home. The community here is proud of its champion, who has not only set standards in terms of sport, but also as a person. For us at CabareteBeachHouses, he is a symbol of what this place is all about: passion, talent and the courage to go your own way.
