Where to kitesurf on Bonaire
As a seasoned kitesurfer, you already understand that not all spots possess the same qualities. And when it comes to kitesurfing on Bonaire, there’s one spot where fellow kitesurfers meet: Atlantis Beach. A kitesurfer would consider this place a dream come true. The wind is consistent and strong, the water is crystal clear, and there’s plenty of space to do your thing. In addition, on the coastal strip some distance away, you will find some of the most beautiful oceanfront villas you’ve ever seen, which makes it an ideal location to stay if you want to be relatively close to the action. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – there are plenty of instructors and rental shops in the area to help you get started.
But before you grab your board and head to Atlantis Beach, let’s talk about safety. Kitesurfing can be a dangerous sport, especially if you’re not careful. So, let’s take a look at some of the risks and how to avoid them.
How risky is kitesurfing?
First things first, kitesurfing involves flying a giant kite that can easily lift you off the ground and drag you across the water at high speeds. That means that you need to be aware of your surroundings and always have an escape plan in case things go wrong.
Kitesurfing poses several common risks such as getting tangled up in the lines, getting slammed into hard objects, and getting blown away by strong winds. On Bonaire, there is the added risk of shallow coral gardens. Always wearing a properly adjusted helmet, life jacket, and harness to your body is important to avoid these dangers. You should also make sure to stay away from crowded areas, stay within your skill level, and never go out alone, even though on Bonaire there are always “rescue boats” on the watch-out…
We highly recommend that beginners take lessons from a certified instructor before going out on their own. They’ll teach you the basics of kite control, safety procedures, and how to get up on the board. You can learn kitesurfing regardless of age or fitness level, so don’t worry.
