Hi Julie,

You can blast out in the reef for sure..but not with rental gear. It is for the advanced sailor who can do waves and can sail safely in reef conditions.

Hello Julie,

Yes, please stay inside..you have a huge bay to do all kinds of tricks..some bump and jump when the wind plays hard. Winds are very light for the entire Caribbean but very warm. See you soon.

Ann

Looks just like the Bonaire olympic boardsailing team practice that we saw from the Lac Cai pavilion in March 2003. NOT tourists out there.
