The Spot Lac Bay, Sorobon

Windsurfing takes place on the east coast in an almost enclosed bay called ‘Lac Bay’.

The wide, mirror flat water is good for all levels and an ideal place to learn. Shallow waist deep water stretches right out to the reef with super shallow area close to the shore. Even the youngest windsurfers can learn in safety. The wind is onshore with a steady wind.

Beginner? No problem!

Bonaire is a great place to learn windsurfing. Beginners are usually found in the beachside of Lac Bay as the shallow waters in this area make for easy recovery during falls while the barrier reef guarantees smooth-water sailing.

Experienced? Awesome!!

As well as the intermediate-, expert- and Pro-level windsurfers can enjoy the sport to it’s fullest potential
