I have found windsurf heaven. I started sailing in 97 and have sailed mostly Neil Pryde sails. I have tested Maui Sails, Gaastra and Gun Sails along the way. This week, Gert, the manager at Jibe City recommended I try their Severne Gator sail. I sailed the 5.0 several days this week. What a sweet sail. I used my loyal 85 liter Angulo Chango board paired with the Gator 5.0 was a bit of heaven. Bonaire has been experiencing crazy good July trades but with some voodoo chop. It’s been challenging but fun sailing and the Gator sail really made my day.
It’s always a treat to have good summer wind on Bonaire. The Severene sail has really enhanced my windsurf experience this week.

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. Jibe City is located on windy Lac Bay. New management has brought in high end gear and a reliable team of windsurf professionals to offer a high performance windsurf experience. 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.
