Remember seeing one or both of the Frans brothers making magic look so easy at the Gorge Games?
Thank you. |

Thanks for that. Brought back a lot of good memories watching these lads pull off their astonishing moves on Lac Bay. They were always charming and friendly on the beach. Just checked direct flights to Bonaire! It's time! |

My first trip to Bonaire was in 2003 and I remember vividly seeing the Bonaire Kids show up after school, around 3:00 and jump on their boards planing almost immediately off the beach. It appeared to me that they were born for sailing, so natural and fluid.
On a totally unrelated note, here is another movie of the same name, if you translate "fils" in French to "children", however the movie in English is titled "Sons of the Wind". I do see a lot of parallels - people who were born for a skill or talent, who spend their lives perfecting it and sharing it, who congregate with other like minded people in their surf wagons (caravans). Check it out:

It is appreciated. Reminded me of many happy times spent at Lac Bay watching these guys perform their incredible moves. At the beach, they were always so nice and pleasant. My flight to Bonaire was now confirmed! Do it now! geometry dash |
