Bonaire's next freestyler

She's 3 years old, and not mine. It's not uncommon for us to see 5
year-olds on boards here, but she's the youngest. Although the last
couple days were about 20 knots, October's by far our worst month for
wind, so it's a good time to get the kids started. This picture was
taken last Sunday in, obviously, really light wind, perhaps 8 knots.

When we were there for KOTC in 2004, they had a Baby Race. Some of the kids
were 2 years old. They had the regular announcer announce the race. Some of
those little toddlers were actually pumping the sails. Somewhere, I have it
all on videotape. It was a riot.
