  • We flew to Bonaire so we could get 20-25 knot winds every day and the experience DELIVERED! In this video I'm going to share some key information about Bonaire and show you around the kite spot. I arranged this trip so that I could coach my clients and help them get some of that insane progression. I feel like I'm the one who received the coaching because I learnt so much from these legends! If you'd like to get coaching from me you can book a trip anywhere in world! (fully booked until end of Jan 2023)

    Im going to Caribbean June & July and not sore whether I should visit Aruba or Bonaire. Heard that Aruba one spot is super gusty & Boca Grande is mega choppy and rough… Bonaire got only one spot, but it seems to be nicer then Arubas spot. Thanks for any advices

    I just got back from Bonaire doing some epic Scuba and kiting (14-23 kts avg). I saw some signs at the kitespot $20 to be rescued. Some beginners were pretty far downwind with boats taking off after them. I'll be back too! 👊

    I’m now kiting in Aruba, and the spot is also windy every day, but due to the off shore direction it’s also super gusty which can be very annoying. What about bonaire? is it also gusty most of the time ?

      To tide you over here's a tutorial to get some perspective. The biggest part of bar magic you can't forget is that you usually have to roll your bar to set things right again at some point.

      @gethighwithmike  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I think air travel and greenhouse gases is actually a complex topic. Luckily airplane manufacturers like Airbus are working on zero-emission planes. Check out the Zero E project.
      Until then, we can rest assured that whether I flew or not, the plane was going to take off with or without me 😅

    • @Frerikvb
      @Frerikvb Рік тому +1

      @@gethighwithmike hi Mike, appreciate your response 👍. I do not really see the complexity, long distance flying has a huge CO2 emissions. Why do you think it is complex? Also, the plane uses less fuel without you, your two friends and your kite gear. Last, when your stop buying these tickets, the airlines will stop flying. I think this behavior should not be promoted (no wind, so I fly across the globe)

    Switch Egypt to something that is on the other half of the Globe and triple expensive...and yet still riding 13.5m after all, and calling it a great place and windy all the time? Mike, really??...come on mate...

    • @gethighwithmike
      @gethighwithmike  Рік тому +2

      There wasn't a breath of wind in Egypt so we went to Bonaire instead.
      If you watched the whole video you would see that I was actually on my 10m every day except for the last day 😜
      Thanks for the good vibes though brother!
