I hereby remind you that since April of 2005 a new system was introduced that ALL users of the marine park should pay to enter the waters around Bonaire, that includes windsurfers. The fee is $10 USD. You may buy your marine tag at Bonaire Windsurf Place and Jibe City.

Aug. 2,2007



A record has been set. Yesterday at registration, the Pro Kids Committee greeted and registered 131 competitors for the event. This is clearly one of the best freestyle turnouts. It took over 3 hours to register the masses including the teams from Aruba and Curacao. During registration, lively music played and the event site was completed. At 6 PM a press conference was held with dignitaries and event officials welcoming all. A Bonairean style Happy Hour followed adding to the festive mood of the many sailors and spectators.

Today a tropical storm is passing the north of Bonaire creating heavy rains and wind. As soon as it passes a skipper’s meeting will be held and the first day of competition will begin. Dasher’s in the house as well as Mark French an Emmy winning producer who will do a documentary on the event .There are press from the US, Canada, the ABC islands as well as South America.
