Catch the breeze, ride the waves, and fly free

Wingfoiling is all about gliding above the water. All you need is a wing (a hand-held sail) and a board with a foil, a fin-like structure beneath your board that lifts you out of the water as you gain speed. You start kneeling on the board, holding the wing in your hands to catch the wind. Once you build up speed, you stand up on the board. By tilting the board slightly, the foil lifts it above the water, giving you the feeling of floating. The wing controls your direction, while balance and a steady posture are key to mastering the sport.

Bonaire offers many great spots for wingfoiling.

Lac Cai is perfect for beginners, with shallow, crystal-clear waters and steady wind conditions. Even experienced wingfoilers will enjoy the smooth rides in this beautiful bay. Looking for more of a challenge? Atlantis Beach is the place to be. Located just 10 minutes from Windhoek Bonaire, this spot guarantees perfect wind conditions year-round. Several surf schools at Atlantis Beach offer gear rentals and lessons for all skill levels. Important note: Atlantis Beach is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Please check local signs to know where you can and cannot ride, so you don’t disturb these beautiful creatures.
