August 10, 2017

Have you ever wanted to get on a windsurf and experience gliding across the deep blue? Are you a beginner and cannot seem to get past the uphaul stage? Do you dream of nailing that jibe or tack? Or, are you a free -style wanna be and want to learn how to heli-tack or how about riding switch stance?  Those in the know, travel to Bonaire for Andy Brandt’s annual ABK Boardsports camps. Bonaire is the windsurf Mecca thanks to gin clear water, waist deep and on shore steady trades. It’s heaven.

Windsurf Bliss

No wind, come SUP

No wind, come SUP


As I finish packing up to head home to Bonaire, I had to peak at the wind forecast. I had a lovely pre summer sojourn on Cape Cod with a visit to Bermuda. It’s been super hot on Cape Cod and the 4th of July traffic has been insane. I seek the solitude and serenity of my summer Bonaire.

Windguru and Windfinder are in concert; BIG WINDS are here to stay in Bonaire. To celebrate this windy period, I am offering 5-10% off all new bookings starting today for travel through Nov. 1. Remember, Andy Brandt has his annual Aug. ABK clinic the 17th. I have steep discounts that week as well. Kids Camps continue all summer. Ask me for details.

Jibe City Windsurf Center

For 11 years I have had the privilege of booking windsurf vacations for my discerning windsurf clients. Bonaire, best known as an amazing dive destination is also a windsurf Mecca due to shallow gin clear water, on shore steady trades and of course the famous Bonaire windsurf team.

Andy Brandt’s ABK Boardsports Camps are held throughout the year with a cluster during the winter windy season. Beginners can learn the sport while intermediates can hone their skills. Advanced sailors and pros come to train to refine their freestyle repertoire or to train in the deep blue in slalom conditions. To learn more about Bonaire’s windsurf scene, contact ann@bonairewindsurfing.com today.
