SUP Paradise

The Lagoon Side of the Method Lodge is finished and it turned out to be Stand Up Paddle Boarding Paradise! Here is a quick Q&A with John Holzhall, the man behind the Method.

Q. Is the lagoon really as cool as it looks?
A. No, it is much better...and it's huge.

Q. Can you kite in it?
A. It's not a "kite spot"...it's SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) Paradise. There is a canal that runs around and through the lagoon.
Q. How close is it to Kite Beach?
A. It's the back side of kite beach.

Q. Are there any crocodiles?
A. No, nothing dangerous or poisonous.

Q. How long does it take to get around it?
A. It takes me about an hour, we are having a "race around the lagoon" next month so we'll get an official time.

Q. Is it a guided tour?
A. Most trips are not, but when people want to go around the entire lagoon they go with a guide the first time because it's easy to get lost until you know the "doorways."

Q. Has anyone ever got lost?
A. Ya, but no one has ever stayed lost. We know the lagoon well and our search team consists of the areas best fishermen.

Q. Can anyone do it?
A. Pretty much, it is a lot easier than SUP on the ocean...so people get comfortable quickly.

Q. How do people find you?
A. Look for the blue surf shop on Kite Beach (lagoon side of the street) or methodlodge@gmail.com 809-849-2147

Time for the Front Yard

The back yard (Lagoon/National Park) is finished...we started on the front yard (beach).

Traditionally the "Beach" was separated form the "Resort" by a wall...this might work for other sports, but not for kite boarding or paddle boarding. Kiters need to be able to set up, launch and exit "cross wind" (with out jumping over a wall). We have created what is perhaps the finest "Kite Launch" know to man. Complete with; ocean front compressor, lots of fresh water, foot showers, water fall showers, shade and a big grass area for rigging as well as gear lockers steps away from the launch! For more about the Method Lodge Resort contact us.

We broke ground on the Method Lodge one year ago today. Construction on the Lagoon side (Pirate's Cove) of the property went much better than planned. Mainly because of the decades of experience Maui Builder Doyle Betsill brought to the project. A year later, we now have the following on the Lagoon Side:

  1. Method Surf Shop > KITE > SURF > PADDLE BOARD> SPEAR FISHING > FISHING.
  2. Eco-Lagoon villas > Eco villas on the lagoons edge with Solar power and a great view!
  3. Paddle Boarding Tours > WOW - Paddle Board spectacular Kite Beach Lagoon.
  4. Fishing > Great Family Action - guaranteed to catch fish.
  5. Plantation > Sugar Cane, Almonds, Sweet Potato, Bananas, Noni and much more.

Now it's time to move to the Ocean Side (Kite Beach) and begin the development there.
We are offering two types of Condominiums:
#1. Sleeps four, 1 Bedroom 2 bath 90sq meter (900 sq. ft) lock off unit, Ocean front, Launch-able Kite Beach unit. Three of these units remain available for sale - prices begin at $172,000. For more information contact methodlodge@gmail.com

Kite Beach Master Plan



Fortunately the owners of Kite Beach got together early in the game and purchased the land on both sides of the road. Kite beach is a unique set up as as is the other side of the street. El Choco National Park borders the lagoon properties and provides for fantastic views and nature for the entire family.
By purchasing both sides of the street, the owners are able to control the quality of development, something seriously missing in the adjacent town of Cabarete.
Cabarete ended up being a funky little town with no parking and no consideration to the lagoon side of the street. Kite Beach on the other hand will be one of the finest all round recreational developments in North America. To reserve your beach or lagoon villa contact John now.
