Bonaire
Windsurf Place is
located on the windward side of the island
known as Sorobon, at Lac Bay. At Sorobon,
the water is shallow and warm, with steady
tradewinds, and a beautiful beach - perfect
conditions for catching some wind in your
sails and claiming the freedom of the water,
but in a sheltered, safe area.
Training & Lessons
For those wanting to improve their board skills, learn to water-start,
footstraps, harness, stance, Jibe and much more. Bonaire Windsurf
Place offers instruction from people like Bonaire's Windsurf
Olympian and Champion, Patoen Saragoza, who also happens to
be one of the owners. The other staff, while not past Olympians,
certainly have held their own in regional windsurfing competitions.
The
staff of Bonaire Windsurf Place can
offer individualized training for any level
of skill - from rank beginner to champion windsurfer,
both in the fabulous waters of the Sorobon
area of Bonaire.

Place offers the best in equipment, including boards from RRD,
Pro-Tech, and Naish. Sails are by Hot Sails Maui and Naish.
Kids & Families
Windsurfing isn't just for adults and big people - Bonaire Windsurf
Place offers instruction for kids ages 5 and up. In particular,
Bonaire Windsurf Place offers regular Kid Clinics, which run
for 5 days and teach kids the ins and outs of windsurfing.
The program was developed in training the "Bonaire Kids",
a championship group of windsurfing youngsters who have competed
in international events and taken home to Bonaire a wide range
of prizes and awards for their windsurfing ability.
Other
Amenities
Because windsurfing is an obsession, and we believe in supporting
such obsessions, Bonaire Windsurf Place offers a snack bar featuring
sandwiches, snacks, and beverages right on the premises, so windsurfers
don't need to go far to recoup their energy before jumping back
on a board. And, to make sure sunburns aren't an issue, the Bonaire
Windsurf Place's surf shop offers basics like surf shirts, sunscreen,
t-shirts, gloves and surf shoes. |
