Bonaire's top
shop is world-famous
Bonaire Windsurf Place. 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.

Video
Session and Beach BBQ
Each
Wednesday at 11:00 AM, you become the star, as our professional
videographer films while you are on the water windsurfing. Then
join the staff and other sailers at 6:00 PM for a Happy Hour and
viewing of the video, followed by a Beach BBQ.
Massage
We
now offer massage to our clients, in our special massage hut, right
on the beach with Ann Johnson, our Certified Massage Therapist.

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.
