The MaiTai kiteboarding events founded and hosted by Cabarete’s own professional kiteboarder Susi Mai and Silicon Valley’s legendary VC Bill Tai are an incredible mix of inspiration, kiteboarding, networking, and parties. At LEK we’re lucky enough to host the Cabarete MaiTai each July, a long weekend that extends before and after into a colorful blur of awesomeness.

All MaiTai events have a “tech talk” component where topics range from wingsuit flying to green industry investing, and lots of pitches for funding – always interesting and always fun. Here’s a photo of our 2015 group by Davo Hidalgo from Ecuador
Daytime activity at MaiTai – beach olympics in “Fruit” themed costumes of course! Photo by glamorous MaiTai new mother Meagan Jones and yes this is a ballerina chasing a banana with foilboarding in the background – just another day at LEK
Of course we do kiteboarding as well – including legends like Andre Phillip captured here smashing the flatwater at La Boca – image by Jason Lombard from the MaiTai crew
I could go on and on with more and more photos but I’ll leave you with this one from Eric Schulte that perfectly captures the EPIC festive beautiful spirit of MaiTai parties!
