CURRENT MISSION

To surf a wave on a couch!!

ABOUT ME

100% surfer, nature lover, always looking for waves or outdoor experiences , easy-going - except maybe when I am hungry or need to sleep !- but I also like to hang around with my friends in Seignosse or play guitar .
I have worked for 3 years for an environmental association (Surfrider Foundation), and very sad everytime a tree is cut down.
Been to more than 30 countries and go often to Indonesia for surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

After graduating from a High Business School, I decided not to follow the usual career leading to endless working in big polluted cities. I don't feel comfortable in cities anyway, and working is for people who don't surf! ! Now I work as a captain on sailing boats and also in France as a surfing instructor and get a lot of free time to go surfing...
