This year Bonaire Sailing Foundation and PWA thanks to Maduro & Curiels Bank and many other sponsors are holding the 3rd King of The Caribbean Windsurf Freestyle competition and for the first time ever there’s going to be a junior championship for professional kids; Pro Kids.
The event will take over the island starting from Saturday May 14th (arrival with flotilla around 5 PM) when Juan Marino will be crossing over the Caribbean from Venezuela to Bonaire. Our own heroes, Taty and Tonky, will exchange flags with Juan Marino as he enters Bonairean waters. The celebration continues as the whole crowd moves to The Great Escape at 18:00 where the public can treat itself on a deluxe $10 BBQ.
The Parandabus will be driving from hotels (10:00) to the event site and back (16:00) through the whole week, so if you want to be there GET ON THE BUS!
Hotels Stops: Plaza, Divi, Sand $, Habitat (subject to change/check hotel concierge)
