Stichting Aquaspeed Bonaire Windsurfers (SABW) was founded on March 27, 1987, with the goal of positioning the windsurfing sport and Bonaire on the map. This goal has been successfully achieved through gaining recognition worldwide by various well-known windsurfing and sailing associations such as IFCA, IWA, and PWA. Since the late 80s, SABW has been organizing watersports racing and sailing events, evolving into a comprehensive sports event management organization. Over the years, it has expanded its activities to include several on-land events such as Fun Walk, Beach Volleyball, and Beach Bolas, among others. Additionally, SABW has successfully organized the Bonaire International Regatta for the past three consecutive years following the pandemic.

The 2024 PWA Bonaire Youth and Junior Slalom World Cup is proudly presented and coordinated by Stichting Aquaspeed Bonaire Windsurfers (SABW) in conjunction with the celebration of the 20th Prokids Bonaire 2024 event.
The future of any sport relies on the young individuals who embrace it daily. Recognizing the significance of our young windsurfers globally, the PWA is dedicated to offering exceptional opportunities for them to converge, learn, compete, and relish shared experiences. These experiences not only foster lasting friendships but also lay down a positive groundwork essential for their evolution into the professional athletes of tomorrow.
