Update

Didn’t even come to finish writing about the Sorobon Masters event in Bonaire. In the last weekend of my time in Bonaire  was the Sorobon Masters windsurfing event. It was a very big event with a lot of (international) competitors in the slalom and freestyle discipline. The event was organized by Sorobon Beach Resort, the resort I was staying.

Before the actual start of the competition there was the opening ceremony on Friday evening. My yoga instructor made a little yoga show that I was doing together with her and another yoga instructor. Think I was as nervous for this show as I was for my windsurf heats! 😉 Luckily I went fine and It was a great experience.

 

I was competing in both disciplines, freestyle and slalom and it was very cool to see that there were a lot of other female competitors! Very happy to say that I won in the freestyle and became second in the slalom! It was a exciting battle between Maxime van Gent and me for the first place in freestyle. It was not easy with the light winds, shallow water and seaweeds but I managed to come back in the double after Maxime won the single elimination and finally won both heats to get in to first place.

A few days before the event a lot of seaweed suddenly appeared in the windsurfing bay.
