A five-day private kitesurfing program in Bonaire’s Lac Bay that takes you from trainer kite to riding upwind with a dedicated instructor and boat support. Expect short, focused daily sessions, warm shallow water, and consistent trade winds ideal for progression.
You step out onto Sorobon’s low, sandy shallows and the wind greets you with a steady, salt-tinged push—warm water lapping at your ankles, instructor voice close from the support boat. Over five days the lagoon becomes a classroom: trainer kites on the beach, powerstrokes in waist-deep water, then the small, sharp shock of a successful waterstart when the board answers the kite.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step out onto Sorobon’s low, sandy shallows and the wind greets you with a steady, salt-tinged push—warm water lapping at your ankles, instructor voice close from the support boat. Over five days the lagoon becomes a classroom: trainer kites on the beach, powerstrokes in waist-deep water, then the small, sharp shock of a successful waterstart when the board answers the kite.
Bonaire’s coastline is shaped by coral plateaus and protected mangrove flats; the shallow geometry of Lac Bay makes it forgiving for learners while the offshore reef keeps open-ocean chop at bay. The island’s history of salt harvesting and Dutch Caribbean culture shows in weathered salt pans and Papiamento phrases drifting from local kiosks—simple reminders that this is a working island as much as a playground.
Expect practical progression: land drills, kite relaunch, body dragging, then board work and riding upwind. Lessons follow IKO-based methods and the instructor remains on a nearby boat for continuous communication and safety, so even nervous swimmers get focused attention.
Plan for sun, wind, and reef: reef-safe sunscreen, a short wetsuit or rashguard, and reef shoes make launches and shallow-water falls less painful. Mornings often offer cleaner conditions; afternoons can build thermals. Hydrate frequently, secure a snug harness, and pace sessions to avoid arm fatigue. By day five many students are riding upwind and ready to practise controlled jumps—this course turns steady trade winds into readable, learnable rhythm.
No—this private course is designed for beginners through advanced riders, progressing step-by-step from trainer kites to waterstarts and upwind riding.
Yes—participants should be comfortable in open water and able to tread water; instructors provide close boat support for safety.
