I've seen extreme land sailing on TV before, usually from the desert regions of the American South West. To my surprise when I I traveled to the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire, they too had a track dedicated to this extreme lifestyle sport.
What makes Bonaire a unique travel destination, is its location just 80 km off the South America. Like its sister islands of Aruba and Curacao, there is constant trade winds with average wind speeds around 30 km an hour. The is perfect place therefore for land sailing. The Kart speed itself depends on the driver's willingness to push the envelope. Otherwise Kart speeds could easily exceed 60 km and hour. Get ready to fly, Get ready to Live.

I can attest this is a most nerve racking and most fearful experience especially for those of us afraid of heights. First they suit you up with a kind of ground school of do's and don'ts. Then they load you into the elevator where its travels to the top floor. When the elevator door opens up, your breath is taken away by the sheer elevation of the platform.

None the less - its a must for any extreme travel bucket list and worth every penny.
