Bonaire May June 2018 - BloKarts

June 2018 - WARNING, tons of fun aka tons of pics!

We had driven by the BloKart place several times.  Each time the comment was something along the lines of "We should do that."   Finally, we stopped and did.

Actually, the guys did - Jason and Tom.

Instructions - try to avoid wheelies

These BloKarts are made in New Zealand.  Very clever design.

BIG pre-start smile

Two different size sails - smaller and larger.

And they are off -

Two different size axles - normal and wide.

Picking up speed in the straightaway

Sheet in, go fast.  Sheet out, slow down - to control the speed.

Big smile

The advice was to ease the sheet on the turns.  And IF by chance you tip over, don't put your hand down thus avoiding the risk of breaking a wrist.

After the few instructions, they were off!  Zoom Zoom.

Neck and neck

Of course they were racing, they're men.

Tom starting to come up on two wheels

The wind was really blowing.  Tom scooted along but had to be careful as he was prone to come up on two wheels.  Jason had a few extra pounds of ballast on Tom so he was able to stay on three wheels and thus a tad faster.

Jason in the lead

But they were both winners with broad smiles.

They paid for 30 mins but there were only two other riders so they got a generous, island time 30 mins.

Laura and I cheered them on and took pics and video.

"Let's go again"

Fun, fun, fun!
