Thank you so much. These things take for ever to do so I appreciate the comment. Cheers!

Great and useful video Vincent! Bonaire has always been on my wish list and now it’s a priority- along with being sure to drive down the road from Ottawa to get new gear through WindForce :)

[@thomasbohn5034]

Thank you for the fantastic overview, Vincent. I’ll be there for the last 2 weeks of March😎. I’ll definitely be checking out that food truck at Frans Paradise. Great tip for cheap eats. Cheers.

[@windforcesports9460]

The food truck is great! Not many choices for cheap good food on Bonaire so take advantage of it.

Bonaire is my dream place... would you recommend Jibe City or Windsurf place to practice planing and jibes or some other place? (flat water (or not to big waves), strong and consistent wind)

[@friedmanroy]

Thank you very much for great Video! It is clear that you have put a lot of effort into it, and it shows! I would like to ask: How is the "Frans Paradise" club? How is the equipment? do they have variety of sail sizes? what is the wind direction usually? do you have to go upwind sharply? or the winf is 90 degree to the beach? Thanks, Roy

[@windforcesports9460]

Roy, then Frans Paradise carries Gaastra sails and Taboo boards in all sizes. They also have Futureflyboard in the Free Ride and Slalom range so great boards. They have a ton of gear and plenty of space for it. The wind is side inshore not quite 90 degrees but very close.

[@peterfuzz3887]

is there a way to buy an old windsurf gear for a decent price ?

[@windforcesports9460]

Yes there is a Facebook group that sells used equipment in Bonaire and all the rental places have used gear to sell for sure.

The group on Facebook is called Bonaire Windsurf Gear 4 sale
