KRALENDIJK – On August 29, 2024, the Pickleball Association Bonaire (PAB) was founded, introducing a new association for pickleball on the island. Pickleball is a combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, played on a smaller court and accessible to all ages and skill levels.

The founders, Richard Dove and Robin Jayesuria, established the association to bring the community together and promote social interaction. The PAB, with Danny Rojer as president, Henk Boekhouder as secretary, and Marsha Wielemaker as treasurer, plans to organize introductory sessions, tournaments, and social events. They are currently working on arranging playing locations and organizing the first events.
