From the Windsurf Deck
Winds were completely steady strong from May until Monday. I sailed a 4.7 or less every time I went out aside from one 5.2 session. My board was my faithful 85 liter Chango (Angulo). Sometimes there was voodoo chop but most times such as with Monday, it was pure windsurf bliss. The winds have shut down a bit but no fear, Lac Bay is pristine and perfect for Stand Up Paddling. I have my 12 foot Starboard so will report back. Last month I borrowed a friends Red Inflatable SUP which was quite sturdy and really easy to use. I just learned Starboard has launched their own version which I hope to purchase in Oct. for Cape Cape SUP days.

Enjoy a few land shots from Monday’s Dawn Patrol Session. I arrived at 8 but young guns, Florian, Ezry and Jason were already on the water. I joined in and later Kiri and Maxime arrived. It was a perfect session.

The following photo essay is from Carol Hibdige of New Forest. She lives part of the year in Bonaire with her windsurf family, husband Trevor, a speed freak (as in using his GPS), musical freestyle talent and youngest son, Nic and handsome and also very fast sailor, Sam. They own Lac Bay Villa, one of Bonaire’s best windsurf getaways. The villa offers pristine views of the bay and is a windsurfer’s dream. I am lucky to call the Hibdiges friends and have enjoyed many a dinners at the villa. You may book this villa by contacting Caribbean Wind & Sun Vacations :ann@bonairewindsurfing.com or calling 800-219-0118 US.
Carole’s photo essay is of Caesar Finies, one of Bonaire’s best talents. His specialty is light wind freestyle. Enjoy!

I first heard of these guys whilst watching a Dasher video one cold winter night in 2000. I had dreams of sailing and it was as close to sailing as I could get. I heard the “Bonaire Kids” were going to Tinho and Susie’s event, Calema so my event partner and I headed to Merritt Island to scout the team and invite them to our event, King of the Cape 2001. The rest is history ..here’s a peak at their talent. It’s mindblowing, actually.

Yesterday Mother Nature brought back a healthy dose of the trades in the range of oh, 30 knots. It’s a stellar week to be windsurfing on Bonaire.
My official wind forecast URL is http://www.windguru.cz. It’s VERY reliable.
Fundraiser for a Friend, Erwin Muller
February 23, 2009 
Bonaire – March 8 is a monumental day when Constantin “Patun” Sargoza and Elton “Taty” Frans windsurf from Bonaire to Curacao. The event is a fundraiser for Bonaire’s own Erwin Muller. Erwin, a dive master and former windsurf hero on Bonaire suffered a serious stroke in January. He is recuperating in Curacao and has a long rehabilitation ahead. Erwin is well known in the community for being a man who loves adventure whether it’s riding his quad or delivering a yacht across the Caribbean. Locals and tourists are rallying to support Erwin and his family, Ellen and Jason. The March 8 race is dedicated to Erwin, one of the original founders of windsurfing on Bonaire. Saragoza, a former Olympian will race across to Curacao with Pro Windsurfer Taty Frans. Taty, one of the top freestyler’s in the world recently circumnavigated the island in 2008. He is perhaps the fastest slalom sailor presently on Bonaire. The race commences at 9 AM outside BOPEC. Spectators are welcome for the send off. Helicopters and chase boats will accompany the two sailors across the passage. The record set back in the 80’s by Erwin is 4 hours. They will race to Light House Point on the East side of Curacao and then head down to the pier near Breezes Resort. Donations for this fundraiser may be contributed via Paypal to: Erwin2CanDive@gmail.com.
For those wishing to accompany the flotilla it is important you speak with Elvis Martinus by calling 786 2288 for clearance. The safety of the two windsurfers is paramount. This is a very exciting yet intense voyage. We wish them well as they race for a fellow man of the sea, Erwin Muller.
