Pro Kids Bonaire 2013 (may 31st - June 2nd)

Day1- On may 31st we had to registrate at Sorobon. It was nice. We all get a goody bag with pretty cool stuff on it.

This year ProKids Bonaire 2013 has a total of 91 registtered participants for only the windsurf competions slalom and freestyle and later another 20 kids and adults for the paddle board competion wich took place on Sunday.

The evening evening was filled with entertaiment and sports a big opening with a party till late in the evening with Freestyle Night Sailing, DJ Toad, Domino, Bolas, Beach Volleyball and Foyan Boys.

I didn't stay to long as the next day the competion was going to start.

Day 2- First race day started with Marathon Aerobics and at 8AM followed by Skippers meeting and at around 11AM we started with the first Slalom Races. A day filled with entertainment and water sports and beach sports.
The wind was good and I was ready to race...
It was a bit not clear when the start of the women was, but when we finaly did start I was far in fron t of the rest, just because of that wasn't sure if I was in the correct group, but when I found out I was still in good position and followed the route. Finished 4th behind the men but before the other women.
The other races I even managed to finish 3rd overall and was in big "fight" to keep my place in front of the group.
With did in total 4 heats today and Im first of the women and 3rd with the master men.

Day - 3 Today things went even better then the day before. I had some very good starts, that I had even a couple of time the front position. It was a great day with again very good wind. IK was both days on my Starboard I sonic 97 and 7.0 m2 Neil pryde racing. I love realy this combination as it feels realy fast.
I won all the races of the women and today was 5 times out of 6 3rd overall in our heat. 
The last race was realy great as we all competed together and was lots of fun as of course everyone wanted to be first, Taty Frans was the fastest of the whole competion.
