So it is only normal that I tell you a bit more about myself and why I will most likely be sharing my passion with you. The first sun rays I saw were in la Rochelle, and I grew up on L’ile D’óleron. When I was 8 years old, I discovered surfing, and being little like Obelix I fell into it !! It was from then on that my passion for this sport started. And surfing has shaped me into the person I am today ! Sharing, friendship, freedom, excelling oneself, curiosity, these are all values i treasure, and the source of them all is surfing. We share waves, sessions, souvenirs, so many great moments. We surf, we glide, we laugh, we progress amongst friends, and learn and enrich ourselves. Surfing is a great way of meeting people. Certain sessions stick in the mind. The ones where you had to exceed all limits. Most often, the ones when you were scared, when you had a bit of stage fright to Keep pushing, to jump in, to catch a bomb. A maximum of excelling oneself and an indescribable feeling. To evolve in an environment such as the ocean is an eternal pleasure and every session, that sense of freedom, you get whilst on your own, in the middle of billions of gallons of water, is somewhat spectacular. And to finish curiosity. The Curiosity to go Catching waves, wherever the wind and tides take us, and obviously to travel, discovering this world. With family and friends, Spain, Morocco, Portugal and in 2018 Indonesia, are all places that I will never forget going to. So ! You now know a bit more about me ! I hope I have made you even more eager to come and enjoy surfing, in a great friendly atmosphere at our Drop’in Surf Academy.

The combination of our instructor Florent’s proficiency and my acquired abilities, through 5 years studying marketing, management, and entrepreneurship, has allowed us to embark on this adventure together. For me, surfing is a passion, and also the most complete sport that I have ever done. It combines sport, via swimming and riding waves, with science, by judging weather conditions and understanding coastal environments. All of that mixed in with travelling ! This sport has made me go off to a variety of destinations, such as Morocco, Spain, Indonesia, Portugal where I learnt about new cultures, and most of all, witnessed all sorts of amazing waves and surroundings, totally different to where I’m from. I also developed a certain passion for surfing in competitions. Different from “freesurfing”, which is really pure adventure, competitions push you to develop in rigor and progress. That adrenaline and motivation you feel before and during a competition really accelerate your development. As an amateur, competitions are just pure pleasure and full of encounters. No pressure for scores and results, just surfing at your best and being proud. Finishing in a good position, surrounded by my mates, is the best reward, having worked for hours on my different moves and manoeuvres.

Starting with local competitions, then onto regional and nationals, now finishing in the top 100, these last few years. We both know how lucky we’ve been to have grown up in a place such as L’ile D’óleron. So much freedom, surrounded by the ocean from young, everything was in favour for us to be swept away by the waves. To be able to thrive in an environment such as the ocean also made us understand the importance of protecting our natural habitats. We have therefore tried to associate our school with respecting the environment With us, you will be surfing on hand made in biarritz foam boards and surfboards.
