Description

Mon and Sil were born and raised in Brazil, where they were taught how to windsurf by their mother on the island Ilha Bela. This is where they got their love for water sports. After moving to Australia, both the twins started picking up SUP surfing, both over the age of 30. Mon now has been crowned State Champion for Open SUP surfing 5 times and the Australian Champ for 40s. Sil followed suite becoming state champion for over 40’s twice.
Now both twins are right into Wing Foiling, SUP surf foiling, and have started dipping their toes into downwind foiling.
