Light winds prevailed for the whole event and Nic took full advantage of these conditions beating last year’s champion Amado Vrieswijk in the Flowstyle and narrowly being pushed into second place in the Freestyle.  Bonaire is world renowned for its beautiful warm waist deep water and the constant trade winds, and has produced several world champions.

Now in its 6^th year of being hosted in Bonaire, this IFCA (International Funboard Class Association) sanctioned event, attracted some 60 competitors, aged from 9 to 19.
