Tijdens de eerste les dacht ik dat het me nooit zou lukken, maar door het geduld en de goede uitleg van Rommel is het me gelukt om te staan en een stukje te varen. Ik ga dit zeker thuis weer oppakken!

Onze instructeur Rommel heeft in een korte tijd van 5 lessen ons leren kiten met vertrouwen en plezier. Hij heeft veel geduld met ons gehad en heeft al onze vragen beantwoord en zelfs ook gedemonstreerd. Wij hebben het ontzettend naar ons zin gehad en gaan zeker verder met ons kite avontuur en komen nog een keer terug!

The instructors are confident, relaxed, and incredibly trustworthy, creating a calm and motivating learning environment. The gear is excellent, and having a boat alongside makes you feel safe at all times. The teaching is top-notch – they never lose sight of you, give clear, listen to your questions and give tailored tips. The land-based intro was so well explained that getting on the water felt natural. Also the environment is absolutely incredible. Highly recommended! Would come back 100%

I have tried a few lessons in the pass and they were ok but nothing like the support and level of instruction that I experienced in Kiteboading Bonaire. Everyday before the lesson I was informed of the plan for that day and instructions before getting in the water and once in the water my instructor with the boat support system provided me constant corrections to improve and progress my Kiteboading technique. I can not be happier with my progress. This was going to be the last time I was going to try to learn Kiteboading and know I think I’m hooked for life. Rommel and all the team at Kiteboading Bonaire also made me feel as part of the Kiteboading community, the school vibe is super chill, the nature and the water that surrounds the school is amazing, I even encounter a sea turtle while Kiteboading. I can say so much more but don’t want to make this review too long. Beside learning to Kite I leaving Bonaire with great memories and kite knowledge. I can’t ask for more.

I had such a good experience here! All the guys at kiteboarding Bonaire are amazing and they taught me how to kite from scratch. The school is very professional coma yes they manage to maintain a relaxed vibe. I felt safe during the classes, while still having fun. I would definitely recommend going here.

I had a great first kite experience at Kiteboarding Bonaire, the blue bus! Very professional kite instructors, felt safe, had super much fun, and weather conditions were amazing. Looking forward to my further kiteboarding adventure!

Great learning experience and great instructors. Special thanks to Paco and Rommel for getting me there. They are all very helpful and friendly. Nothing more you can wish for besides not drifting off to Aruba which thankfully didn’t happen 😜

I Really enjoyed every moment of my classes. All the Instructors were really nice and i was able to learn a lot in a short time. They know exactly when you need some more training or safety or when it is ok to go one step further. I totally can recommend this spot to go to. I gained a lot of fun during the lessons and I really like to do kiteboarding and to keep more on doing lessons and learning it. All the instructors and especially Rommel helped me to feel safe and enjoy the moments in the water and to see the little progresses I was able to do every day. They will definitly see me again when i come back.

Had a nice training at "Kiteboarding bonaire". Since this is a ofshore site it was bery comforting to know that the instructor was close by with a boat (which was needed). Having a helmet with integrated audio was also very usefull to hear the instructions.
