Rainy Day Action, Kite Beach Cabarete

The blazing hot Sun is hiding behind the clouds which cover Kite Beach Cabarete. Overcast and rainy makes for perfect paddling through the Kite Beach Lagoon and the miles of SUP trails through the National Park.
The light drizzle  gives the feeling of paddling through the Rain Forest and the cool temperature makes for very comfortable paddling. So if you want to get some exercise, paddle through a beautiful National park and enjoy Organic Foods stop in the Method Shop on Kite Beach or email us at methodlodge@gmail.com  methodlodge.com

Wind and Water are the two most powerful forces on Earth. Riding these forces make for exciting action. It does not matter your level, age or experience, we have a package for you. 



Learning to be a Paleo/Waterman is a great journey into another  way of living, perhaps the finest way of living.

Diet (foods are listed in the order...closest to the water's edge first)

Ocean Side
1. Sea Grapes - These trees grow directly on the beach, they bear a small grape with a large seed. Sea grapes quench nicely. They are consider the Waterman's Grape Gatorade

2. Coconut  The Coco is the Crown Jewel of Waterman Food. The meat is a great food as well as the base ingrediant for seasonings and candy. The water is the life blood of Watermen. Packed full of electrolites...excellant for re-hydrating. The husk is dried and jused for fire starter and the shell or nut has too many uses to list.

3. Sea Almond These trees also grow directly onn the beach. The leaves are used to make tea as well as great fire starter and compost. The Almond falls in a casing which is edible, then sun dried for 3 weeks. Each casing contains one nut.


The Above foods can all be gathered and eaten immediately upon exiting the water. In fact, A Waterman never passes from the ocean to the house with out picking and eating Sea Grapes and usually a Coconut as well.

Near Beach Foods.
The following are easily gathered within 200 meters of the shore line.

4. Surfer's Tabacco
5. Lemon Grass
6. Noni
7. Sugar Cane
8. Mango
9. Banana
10. Passion Fruit
11. Papaya
12. Platanos
13. Orange
14. Lime


Lime:
Is perhaps the most important in Waterman Culture. Lime is a  Staple 3 different ways. The Lime is used to:
1.  Disinfect both the inside and outside of the body. Ingesting lime with every meal will kill the "Tropical Stomach Funk TSF".  TSF will bring even the  strongest Waterman to his knees...A bit of Lime everyday will do wonders to kill the Stomach Funk.
2. Clean coral cuts and insect bites. The path to becoming a Waterman goes straight over sharp Coral Reefs. Veteran Waterman rarely brush the reef. They have done it far too many times and don't care to ever do it again. A small cut can easily led to loss of limb or life. A bit of lime on the bit or insect bit will help cure it. Put the lime directly on the cut, when the sting is gone, so is the infection...never worry about using too much wine.
3. Cook and disinfect fish. Ceviche is simply the process of putting lime on cut fish. When in doubt, wack it with lime.
