Isabela is a coastal city, located on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico. It is also known as the “Garden of the Northwest”, due to the unique combination of beautiful beaches, submarine rivers, caves, a rainforest and interesting archaeological sites. Jobos is located just after Arecibo and is a popular watersport location, as it offers incredible surfing and kitesurfing experiences all year round.
It is probably the windiest site on the island. The swell sizes usually start from 1 m/3 ft and hold up to 2.5 m/8 ft.

Furthermore, the average water temperature is 28°C/82.4°F and the spot is suitable for intermediate and advanced kiters.
