There are many reasons why Jibe City is one of Bonaire's top windsurfing operations, beginning with its enviable location. The island's dependable trade winds blow steadily toward the shore at Jibe City, allowing our rigged and ready-to-go sails to be launched directly from the beach. Moreover, we provide only the best equipment, and our staff of instructors is friendly and highly-skilled. For devotees, we offer special clinics by expert sailors and instructors. Waiting onshore is our inviting beach bar, stocked with cold drinks and snacks, and our fully-stocked shop. At Jibe City we pride ourselves on providing unparalleled windsurfing in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere--an attitude that brings windsurfers back to our shores year after year.

Run by Windsurfing Bonaire, Bonaire's premier windsurfing shop, Jibe City offers sailors an outstanding selection of top-quality equipment. Bic and Tiga boards with Aero Tech sails are offered as standard equipment, at prices which range from $20 an hour to $55 for a full day and $265 for a week. Upgrade packages are available at an additional cost:

• Sail Package, with Neil Pride and Windwing sails--add 20% (This includes a minimum of 3 own sails)
• Board Package, with Roberts boards--add 10%
• Total Upgrade Package--add 25%
  

Jibe City also rents kayaks, at prices ranging from $10 an hour to $30 a day for a one-person ocean kayak. Jibe City's shop stocks a full selection of sunscreen, windsurfing accessories, T-shirts and souvenirs.
