| about | I started Windsurfing, when I was 9 and fell in love with wavesailing very quickly. On top of sailing at my home spots in the south of France, I travelled a lot with my parents during school holidays to spend as much time as possible on the water. In 2002 I went to Indonesia with other pro windsurfers and from there I never stopped exploring the planet to find new amazing places to windsurf. In 2003 I started to compete on the PWA World Tour. After focusing on the freestyle discipline for the first years, I also began competing in the waves and climbed up the rankings year after year to finally win a PWA wave world title in 2014. Nowadays I am still on the PWA tour, but I spend more and more time trying to ride big waves such as Jaws or Nazaré to name the most famous ones. |
