About Bonaire:
Bonaire had a friendly, laidback and relaxed feel and it’s easy to get around the entire island as it’s only 39 km long and 8 km across at its widest point. 20% of the landmass and all of the waters that surround Bonaire have protected National Park status. The biggest town is Kralendijk, which is about 10 km of the kite spot and has around 15.000 inhabitants. It has some supermarkets, restaurants and bars comparable to any small town.
Bonaire has over 300 days of usable wind with steady northeast trades averaging 18 knots, though the strength can get up to 30 knots in May and June. You can get some good conditions in October and November too, but is can also frequently dip to around 10 knots which is when you break out the foil. Water temps remain around 26-28 ?C so you won’t need a wetsuit as the air temps are also really warm ranging from 28-32 ?C.

Please expect the following expenses
Living: You will need to arrange your own room or apartment in Kralendijk. Rent is typically starting around $500,- per month for a studio or room and up till $1000,- per month for a single bedroom apartment. For the first week of your staying KB provides a room if necessary.
Food: the supermarkets provide all products, although some products sometimes are temporarily unavailable as island life suggests. Pricewise is above average due to import of almost all products. Meals in average restaurants vary around $10,- to $15,- for lunch and $20,- for a dinner (excl. drinks.)
Transport: in the morning, the team meets up at the KB office, you will need to arrange your own scooter/car to get to there and around on the island. (public transport is barely existent and heavily unreliable.)


Are you the kiter with some serious professional management experience with a hands on attitude and you see yourself taking up this challenge for at least 1 year on this beautiful island, then let us know by sending your motivation and CV (in English) before March 15th, 2018 to info@kiteboardingbonaire.com
Make sure to add a short video (max. 5 min.)  of yourself to let us know why you are the perfect fit for this job!

Leuke advertentie.
Er staat precies in wat ze verwachten en hoeveel je kwijt bent als je de baan aanneemt.
Maar niks over hoeveel uur per week je moet werken en wat je verdient. Is dus echt als hobby gedacht, niet als baan. Roll Eyes

De enige zin waarin je echt geen spelfout mag maken is die waarin je vraagt om excellent communication skills Wink
