First solid swell of October. :)

Hi there !

We got such a good week end ! Waves were like 6 to 8 ft, and everyone get the step up's board out there!

That was so crowded and everyone was so excited but they keep to be friendly! SOooo cool!

I stay out there all day with my brother Matt, the waves picked up during the day ! I started with my 5'11, and really quickly I realise I was too short..so I swap with my 6'2 and at the end of the day I was  with my 6'4!

Good training for Hawaii to use some bigger boards!

We get few photos from my friend Stéphanie ( www.jamsurfsessions.com) and from Bacalao

( www.angletsurfphoto.com )

Thanks for that!

The weather wasn't so good,.. and we surfed really far outside.. so that was hard to get closed shots! but they did a good job to stay outside  and shoot us! So MERCI!!!!

Well have a look at the different shots! And enjoy!!!

This week gunna be poor condition..so i am gunna check around for find the best spot ! also if its to small ..i am gunna be back on my routine ,train, hanging out with my friend and family , October its a really nice month to be at home! so I enjoy it as much as I can!

Back to france

Hey there ,
On my way back from Brasil , I did a stop to Cap Ferret in Gironde up to Lacanau for doing the french cup. 
I was so jet lag and the waves were really hard ,and solid.. but I get lucky in final and finaly won the event! So no regret to stop there :) 
By the way : Congrat to all the girls they did a good job in really hard condition! 

 Last week was a really busy week , but I had a such good time .

I gave surf lessons to few Autist kids, and its an amazing experience! they have so much love to give! It was really a  huge challenge to teach them how to surf but how good is it to see them smiling and have stars in the eyes when they catch a wave! That's make me so happy to share my passion with them and with the ocean they can escape the handicap for few hours!  It's magic!  And that's remind me why I love so much surfing! "Surf" its really a therapy!

I am still a little bit jet lag , but tomorow (monday) i am back on my training ,surf ,train, swimming ,etc..

NExt goal :

 French Championship in biarritz 23th-october
 6 stars in Haleiwa ,Hawaii 11th-of november

Reunion Island june 2010

Hi there! June was suppose to be a relax month at home..
But Actually I am kind of confuse about my "home" Where is my real home? Should we call home where we use to leave or where you're heart is? I am feel like I am from everywhere and in a same time from nowhere.. But something I realised this year , When I'm feeling "sick home " ,I think about this little rocks in the middle of the Indian ocean.. Well of course I really Enjoy to be in France and see my friends and family ! But Reunion Island is my favorite place to be in this world!

I like the lifestyle there, the waves, the sunrise,the sunset, the food,my special and lovely friends !
I like to wake up early and to jump in the water with my sleepy head , and get barrel! I love to stay all day in the clear water with the sun burning my face! 

I love to cruse under water between set,and watch my favorite fish " perroquet"cruising between the reef . And when i go out the water in the end of the day,I just enjoy an "apero sunset" with my dodo! And then ...i just have to sleep and start an other magic day! Woohoo! Life its just simple and lovely there.. I like the feeling of freedom to be in the middle of the ocean.. Far away of everything! that's open my mind .. bizarrely! I find my heaven! But shut!!! don't tell anyone.. Just enjoy some photos from my friend( Mathieu Ducros)


Ps : stay tuned an other post coming soon with more photos From Matt, and Armand.
And also a video editing by Falling angels prod coming soon...
