🤯🏝️The Best Windsurf Spot In The World?

Welcome to the island of endless board shorts and flip-flops. We made it back to the Caribbean, Bonaire to be exact. And this really is paradise for windsurfers. This is it, our hub for the next three weeks. And as you can see behind me, well, first of all, you can see it's windy, you can see the ocean, Packed with Windsurf gear, we're here at the Jibes city center. but you can also see a windsurf center. They're hosting us once again. The vibe is absolutely phenomenal. And over here, you can see a whole bunch of boards. On the other side, you see plenty of sails. And they unpacked a whole bunch of new boards and sails for our clinic. But the clinic, the experience, the NP7 experience is not the only thing we are going to do. We're going to take you out to the ocean side, to the wave spot. We're going to jump a whole bunch of sausages with you, not just one. So it's going to be exciting. Welcome to Bonaire. If you've been following us for a while, you've seen some of our videos from Bonaire. One of them became quite popular and we hear even motivated some of you to come here. But since the last one is quite a while ago, here's a little reminder. We're on a small island in the Caribbean, not far from the Venezuelan coast. And when I say small, I mean tiny. So tiny, there aren't any traffic lights on this island. There are less than 30,000 residents living here on this island. Even more surprising that some of the world's best freestylers are from here. As of recent you also see the racing scene growing and some of the local guys are with me on the race course on the world tour. In the last year's videos we also went sailing with the de Jong sisters. Whenever it's windy they go on the water from the Jibe City Center. And this is also where we are based. Sorobon Beach is located in the south of the island, only a 15 minutes drive from the capital. The lagoon is sheltered by a reef further outside. Next to Jibe City Center there are a few more windsurfing centers along the beach. Launching here is so easy and hassle free. There is sandy underground, onshore wind so you never drift away and waves deep for hundreds of meters. This little platform just in front of Jibe City is perfect for resting or in our case shooting videos. But before we go sailing outside the reef it's time to welcome the participants coming from all over the world and make some progress on the water. Stick around, because this time we made sure that even while watching this, you'll learn something new and get some extra motivation. Well, first day of the clinic and people are motivated, full power. It's going to be windy every day, which is insane. I never had a forecast for a clinic with wind every single day and that's what we're getting into. So everyone is super motivated. Okay, now we are focusing a bit on the jibe. On the first days, the guys had to get comfortable on the water again, get used to the gear, start to go faster and not use the arms so much while sailing because when you go in the jibe, you want to have a bit of power left. And now we kind of progressed to the power jibe. And for a lot of the guys, the goal is to make a fully planning power jibe. And we're slowly getting there. And I wanna give you guys a little tip because this is what we see a lot in those experiences is in the jibe, as you carve in, that people start looking at their hands and feet and trying to figure out where to put everything. And of course you gotta learn where to place your arms and feet, but more importantly, you have to look where you go. And this is a very general and basic advice, but it makes such a difference. So as you carve out of the jibe, You have to look towards the direction you go. I always say look at the tail end of your boom. That's a very good indication of where you're going. As you carve out and you go clew first, look at the boom and then next you look into the direction where you go. Another tip is when you rotate your sail that you have to let go of the boom. So a lot of people Follow the boom along with their back hand and that turns the shoulder to your old side and then the whole body follows and the board turns back as well. So basically you end up changing directions back to where you were coming from. Instead, you really want to make sure that you pass the sail to yourself with your front hand, with the mast hand, you pass it to the boom hand. So you push it forward. So you rotate the sail right in front of you and this also has made a massive difference for a lot of the guys here. I mean we've seen some of the first planing drives of the guys here already and this is always such a great feeling because then it clicks and then windsurfing just gets better you know. If you have been following us for a while you might have seen this guy in some of the videos from the other experiences because he's been with us for three years now and Dennis is a good example of what progress looks like because And I'm not I'm not taking any credit because it's all in him but we're gonna show you guys the footage from the first year he joined us and now like the difference is massive and this is what you can reach within three years. Trick for you man. So the trick for me honestly has been approaching it with humility and an open mind and just dropping leaving the ego on the beach yeah because everyone's here to learn everyone's here to have a good time nobody's perfect and whenever you have that mindset then it frees you on the water the pressure is off. Right, there's no need to, you don't have to perform for anyone, it's just you and nature, that's it man. How long have you been practicing for this speech, man? That's amazing. I thought about it as soon as you said, ah, this guy, he's been with us for three years. I said, oh, what should I say about the last three years? I said, the most I can say is I'm just enjoying time on the water and then progress comes naturally. He is. He's always enjoying. He's always smiling, always an open mind for like new tips and tricks. And yeah, that's what got him there. And a lot of time on the water, too, right? Oh yeah, absolutely. Nothing replaces time on the water. You can watch as many videos as you want. If you don't get on the water, your progress will be limited. I'm sorry. Good job, man. Proud of you. Yeah, thanks so much. First planing jibe, huh? Yay! Yay! Did you enjoy your weekend? That was amazing. Especially all these little hints to get better and the analysis you made, it's really great. That's a lot. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you. And we have the winner of our blister ranking list. Can we see? Can we see them? How many is it? It's five on the right side. Here's a special one. And another eight on this side. And he's flushing it down with beer. Timo is second probably. No, I have eight in total. And maybe we count the ones on the leg as well. The blisters are a clear sign of the hard work from the guys and of course how consistent the wind has been. This really is a dream holiday for windsurfers and every year we make sure to improve I'm going to improve this experience. So for 2026 we are looking for keen windsurfers who want to join us.

Doesn't really want you to sail there, right? Yeah, except if somebody goes with me. So Nico asked me and... Exactly. I thought it would be a nice idea if I go with her. She's allowed to sail there. And you like to go wave sailing, right? Oh, I do, for sure. What are you going to show us? Some forwards. Forwards? Maybe a back loop. Okay, we can... We can practice together. Yes. Let's go.

Ah, the wingers are actually sailing the wavespot. Yeah, they're always here. Like every single time I look on the outside, they're there. But then the reef can't be so shallow. No, no, for sure now not with the tide. What's the reason you want to come and sail here? I love the wave sailing so much. It's my favorite discipline. I haven't done it a lot, but I love it. Okay, because the guys who are following, they obviously seen you more on the slalom gear. Yeah, so now you want to get more into wave sailing? Yeah, I did my first competition in Denmark. So how did that go? Yeah, very good. What does that mean? Did you win? I did win. Nice. Okay, so now you're practicing to go on the hopefully the full PWA, right? I hope so, yeah.
