Super Sympa

Ian and Scott went to discover the Canaries Island for the first time over the New Year period.. Beware for some radical shredding...

Coastal Cruise

The lineups are packed with miscellaneous surf-craft, and the waves are rarely solid, but by January summer is sorely missed by surfers in the Northern latitudes. This clip follows Gordon Fontaine as he cruises through France and Spain, evoking sweet memories for any surfer who’s taken a European road trip during the sun-soaked season.

News from AUS :)

Hey guys, how's it going?

I'm now in Australia where I joined the French team for the annual training programme run by the Federation Francaise de Surf. Everything is going great, I am going through intense technical and physical training, and the atmosphere is awesome! Here's a trailer of what we're up to: https://vimeo.com/37210936

I just got a brand new JS, it's looks rad! Just the board I wanted... 

Our internet connection is pretty bad here in Lennox but don't worry, videos and photos are coming up soon!!

Cheers buddies!

Last week in Hawaii

Hi everyone !
It's my last night in Hawaii, I'm flying tomorrow for Australia.
Hawaii was a really good experience, I've learned so much in only 1 month, stoked ! I have met some really nice people, they gave me a lot of great advices, and great lessons of life.
This wasn't a really good week for surfing, the waves were on shore and small. But still rippable !
Today was the superbowl day. Well superbowl day is a kind of a day off were you eat doritos, drink beer in front of the tv, and  all day long. So there is nobody in the water, but today unfortunately the waves were crap so we decided to go play tennis with my french pal Tristan Guilbaud !
It was great fun, and.. yes .. ok I won ! ahahah After maybe 2 hours of heavy battling... that was physical ! Here are some pics of my last couples of days, a  video will come soon !

Pipe Day :)

Today was a great day!!
I have never seen waves like this before... They ran the Volcom Pipe Pro in heavy conditions this morning, I was even uncomfortable and scared to watch in from the shore! So massive! Then the swell dropped a little bit this afternoon, and after spending a while watching guys getting barreled (like Ramzi Boukhiam) we finally decided to go out with my mate Tristan Guilbaud...

It was the biggest waves I've ever paddled into, that's for sure!! (Thanks to Rainos for the paddling and placement advice, much needed!). I was scared, really freaking scared !
Finally I got a bomb, came out of nowhere, nobody went on it, so STOKED!

HAWAII :)

Hey dudes!

I've been in Hawaii for a week now, and it's been really good! I'm enjoying it a lot. It feels like i've been here for a month, I discovered so much in just 7 days.
We've been filming each other with my friend Tristan Guilbaud, so hopefully we'll get a few good clips at the end of this Hawaiian journey!

The Volcom Pipe Pro starts tomorrow so we won't be able to surf pipe for a week... The good news is that there are sick waves everywhere on the Island so hopefully we'll find something to ride until the end of the comp. 

Here is a few photos and screenshots from our clips:
