Armed with their surfboards, they scored points by capturing some of the most spectacular moments of this natural phenomenon. A look back at this incredible feat achieved in Saint-Barth\u00e9lemy.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A natural challenge on the coasts of the Antilles<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">    When Hurricane Larry began to form, with <strong>winds blowing at 145 km\/h<\/strong>, the Ledee brothers could not remain idle.

For these two seasoned surfers, each hurricane represents a unique opportunity to test their limits and confront the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adrenaline galore for the Ledee brothers<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">    Larry&rsquo;s passage in the West Indies caused more fear than harm, fortunately. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ladepeche.fr\/article\/2017\/09\/07\/2640652-les-antilles-durement-frappees-par-l-ouragan-irma.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hurricane power<\/a> remains impressive.

Unfortunately, residents of the Antilles regularly have to deal with such natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predictions for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">    While hurricanes Beryl and Jos\u00e9 have also entered the annals of Caribbean meteorological history, the population remains on guard.
