The Butterfly Effect brings women together for noncompetitive ocean sport gatherings. The aim is to instill self-confidence and a love for the ocean in women of all skill levels by providing one-day downwind events, ocean sport holiday trips, and/or ocean sport clinic trips.

The Butterfly Effect began in Hawaii in 2007 by water women, Tatiana Howard and Juliana Shelef. Since then it Tatiana and/or Juliana have flown to organize the event in Brazil, New Zealand, France, United States (Oregon and Hawaii), Germany, Tahiti, Fiji, Israel, Australia AND Dominican Republic.  The main sports have been windsurfing, stand-up paddle, and kiting but does not limit itself to other sports.

Cabarete celebrated the first  Cabarete Butterfly Effect event last year in August 2009. It was awesome to see this many girls. Even with no wind and little action on the water, the beach cleanup and the socializing was all according to schedule A great day.

This year The Butterfly Effect is coming back August 7th, 2010, and it seems that A LOT more girls will turn up this year. We are stoked!
