More than surf, it is the element which attracts him, that’s why he passed his diploma in sport natation college in Bordeaux. But he is always seeking of the most intense riding sensations. So that he enjoys spending his time across the Atlantic coast in search of new waves. His curiosity brings him also to the surf foil, a discipline where he excels since he is back from Guadeloupe.
