Bonaire Hosts IFCA Slalom and Pro Kids Junior Worlds and Youth and Masters World Championships

Bonaire is proud to welcome the IFCA Slalom and the Pro Kids Junior Worlds and Youth and Masters World Championships. The event will be held on Sorobon Beach, Lac Bay, from July 12th through 18th, 2009. 

Bonaire has hosted several PWA windsurfing events in recent years. The island also has been the site for the Annual Starboard Pro Kids Worlds held each summer.  As the sport grows and expands, it makes sense to bring slalom windsurf racing back to Bonaire.

Lac Bay offers perfect race conditions with water temperatures in the low 80s.  The bay is a protected area affording all racers safe and challenging courses. The entire island warmly welcomes freestylers, and the new slalom competitors, in July, 2009.

The event will officially open on July 12th, with slalom racing running July 13th through 17th.  After this competition concludes, the freestylers will take over on July 18th and 19th with the Starboard Pro Kids Youth Freestyle World Championship.
