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.

What do I do beside windsurfing: The sea bring peace i spend most or all my days , weeks, months at the beach where I am owner of a windsurf center – The Frans Paradise – together with my brother Tonky Frans, so we provide windsurf lessons and rentals and wind foil rentals and lesson. this is the best thing beside still being a professional windsurfer.life is just amazing in the Caribbean.

#repost • @birkeland_nor150 • 😎 Great video $#repost • @birkeland_nor150 • 😎 Great video! Last Sunday on Herdla with JP230, Flight EVO II and F4 Course Race 900. I've been experimenting recently with using the fuselage from the race 1000, which is 115cm and with the front wing very far forward. And this works great. Good downwind speed, and good upwind angles. The stiff F4 mast makes it possible to have the front wing far forward also in strong wind conditions. Friday I was out with 8.0, and the same foil/board setup, and logged 28.2 knots on 2sec on the downwind. Without anything funny happening with the foil. Crashes on the downwind is getting rare. Both because of the stable foil, but also because the board handles touch downs so smooth. The JP230 is a huge improvement in that area. But I did manage to do one, and got it on camera. Have a look at the end😊 #f4foilseurope #f4foils #f4foil #foils #hydrofoils #worldofwindsurf #wsl #windsurfing #windsurf #watersports #instafoil #instasurf #instawindsurf #surf #surfworld #birkeland #courserace #racefoil #racefoilbundle #windsurfracefoil Posted @withregram$
