It's windy EVERY DAY on this island! Kitesurfing Bonaire + Spot Guide

We flew to Bonaire so we could get 20-25 knot winds every day and the experience DELIVERED! In this video I'm going to share some key information about Bonaire and show you around the kite spot. I arranged this trip so that I could coach my clients and help them get some of that insane progression. I feel like I'm the one who received the coaching because I learnt so much from these legends! If you'd like to get coaching from me you can book a trip anywhere in world! (fully booked until end of Jan 2023)

Let's go on a kite trip together! www.gethighwithmike.com/ill-coach-you-anywhere-in-the-world/

[@Nachiios]

Im going to Caribbean June & July and not sore whether I should visit Aruba or Bonaire. Heard that Aruba one spot is super gusty & Boca Grande is mega choppy and rough… Bonaire got only one spot, but it seems to be nicer then Arubas spot. Thanks for any advices

[@elenamytko1471]

OMG im coming!!!! Its sick here!!!!!

[@nicfindlay]

Looks sick!

[@katarzyna5895]

Looks like a fantastic spot. Nice touch with the "underwater" filter for the sound too.

[@gethighwithmike]

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks bro 😘

[@stijnbrandtkitesurfing]

Awesome to see you out riding again! How long where you off because of your acl iniury? I'm 3.5 months post ACL reconstruction and want to back asap of course!

[@Kevin-ur2lk]

Cool video Mike! I’m at Bonaire since two weeks. Too bad you left already, but maybe we’ll meet again in CT! Definitely looking forward to see the cape doctor again…

[@gethighwithmike]

Brooo yes reunion in CT! I think of you whenever I shave my balls. Haha. This is Ray's Kevin right?

[@lucianepolettoantunes2285]

hello, fantastic your videos! Wich beaches are allowed for kitesurfing in Bonaire?

[@notprezent]

Hello! Excellent video! What are your headphones? Waterproof?

[@Roepstek]

Good to see that you are back on the water! You finally found the true kiteboarding paradise, Bonaire! I keep on coming back to that island. Good vibes only. If you want to see more about the island and the spot, have a look on my channel 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@gethighwithmike]

DOOOOD that's some sick content! Definitely giving you a sub. Thanks bru

[@Roepstek]

@@gethighwithmike Wow! Thanks for the support man, so nice to hear 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@chad361]

I just got back from Bonaire doing some epic Scuba and kiting (14-23 kts avg). I saw some signs at the kitespot $20 to be rescued. Some beginners were pretty far downwind with boats taking off after them. I'll be back too! 👊

[@gethighwithmike]

Ah nice! Thanks for the feedback Chad!

[@jensw3445]

Yeah, boat rescue is around 20$

[@phobosa3204]

Its 30

[@stcattc]

Mike please make a video on bar magic! Also what windspeed were you out in the 13.5?

[@gethighwithmike]

Great idea!!! It was about 14-18 knots I'd say :)

[@jurjentinga3656]

Hahaha! So much fun watching this! A buddy of mine just send me a screenshot of me in your video with a sigar in my mouth 😂. Had a great time mate! Are you in Cape Town around January February? I think I’m heading there then! Peace!

[@gethighwithmike]

Hahaha brooo great times! Yes I'll be in CT and I'll have a Cuban ready for you 🕺

[@henkejong]

jurjen ik herkende je al in de film! 🤣

[@boardboy95]

Mike I need you to make a bar juggling video!!!

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha you got it Bryce!!!

[@retrockser643]

I’m now kiting in Aruba, and the spot is also windy every day, but due to the off shore direction it’s also super gusty which can be very annoying. What about bonaire? is it also gusty most of the time ?

[@stcattc]

Just go to boca grandi. Strong winder and cross on.

[@gethighwithmike]

I'll have to check that out some day

[@gethighwithmike]

It's a little bit gusty but it's still fun!

[@retrockser643]

@@stcattc yeah boca grandi is PERFECT

[@Nachiios]

But isn’t Boca Grandi really choppy and rough?

[@Termini33]

Can you do a tutorial on bar magic? @2:06

[@vinny61389]

To tide you over here's a tutorial to get some perspective. The biggest part of bar magic you can't forget is that you usually have to roll your bar to set things right again at some point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXKUoZh7rt6Vhbs

[@gethighwithmike]

You got it! :D

[@gboates]

The island is owned by windsurfers. You missed an opportunity by not going to Boca Grande, Aruba

[@recklezzeater8a862]

I was about 2 say the same thing Would be sick to see this guy IRL Boca grandi thats my home spot About 4 min from my place

[@Nachiios]

But isn’t Boca Grande really choppy and rough?

[@bernardkriel1]

FIRST

[@gethighwithmike]

LEGEND!

[@user-nd2ml5cl7t]

Windy every day? Such a lie! Lots of days where it's not windy or only light wind - even in the so called season that is mentioned

[@Frerikvb]

Great for the environment as well: "no wind in Egypt, so let's go to bonaire" 😭

[@gethighwithmike]

Yeah I think air travel and greenhouse gases is actually a complex topic. Luckily airplane manufacturers like Airbus are working on zero-emission planes. Check out the Zero E project. Until then, we can rest assured that whether I flew or not, the plane was going to take off with or without me 😅

[@Frerikvb]

@@gethighwithmike hi Mike, appreciate your response 👍. I do not really see the complexity, long distance flying has a huge CO2 emissions. Why do you think it is complex? Also, the plane uses less fuel without you, your two friends and your kite gear. Last, when your stop buying these tickets, the airlines will stop flying. I think this behavior should not be promoted (no wind, so I fly across the globe)

[@pavelgolin2421]

Switch Egypt to something that is on the other half of the Globe and triple expensive...and yet still riding 13.5m after all, and calling it a great place and windy all the time? Mike, really??...come on mate...

[@gethighwithmike]

There wasn't a breath of wind in Egypt so we went to Bonaire instead. If you watched the whole video you would see that I was actually on my 10m every day except for the last day 😜 Thanks for the good vibes though brother!

[@pavelgolin2421]

@@gethighwithmike I appreciate the honest and fair reply. I wish you guys a great sessions out there! Respect!
