Discovering Bonaire

Things were looking up when I found out Total rental car in Bonaire had comped us a Jeep® for our much to short visit. They were a major sponsor of the IFCA slalom worlds held this week and also the ProKids Freestyle event happening as we picked up the car. Onward to the beach at Lac bay.
We found Elvis at Bonaire Windsurf Place sweating from too much work and running the prokids event after a long week of the slalom worlds. Roger was in the shop and Constantino was getting his boys Jurgen and Bjorn ready for the events following this one. Finally Kyla could get into the bath warm water that is only knee deep to practice her short boarding. She has been struggling with Maui's agressive wind and chop and needed the easy fun of improving in these epic intermediate conditions.

All the kids were already competing in heats and it was great to see them in their element. 11 year old Jurgen showed me his stuff on his way to winning his next heat. Jurgen has been sponsored by Hot Sails Maui since he was 4! It is simply amazing what fun and how new the action is of these kids here.
