The short story:

It all started with myself following my brother Tonky Frans footsteps, the sea was literally 1 minute walking from where we lived and we used to do all the land sports but nothing really gave me/us the sensation/will to keep going until we found windsurfing which filled that empty until today and don’t regret it and it is still is the best and most of all it gave me/us the best feeling that we can’t explain ever. together we trained help each to be who we are today. I say we because it’s the way we made it the top. two brothers from the Caribbean island of Bonaire, with a vision a dream to make it and bring our island be known to the world. it’s just amazing.
