NORTH SHORE HAWAII 2011

2011-11-24T13:38:00.000-08:00

HI,
I'm in Hawaii for the past 10 days, the waves were small until now and the swell starts to get bigger,couple big swell on the way.

It's always a pleasure to come back to HAWAII every years and stay at the Oakley House with the OAKLEY Team... good atmosphere between the guys and a lot of motivation ..
it's amazing to wake up in front of Pipeline,i just need to get down the stairs to be on the beach.
There were a few days without waves, we took the opportunity to go to Waikiki and train with Barca, we all had aches for 4 days .. lol

I lost in round 64 in Haleiwa, Adrian Buchan and Tanner Gaudauskas surfing well in my heat, I was needing an other good score to advance.. Now i can be focus for the comp at Sunset for the last event of the year.
Congrats to Taj Burrow to win the comp and Melling to take 2nd place on this event..and thanks for the party..

go look at my photo album on my fan page:

Je suis a Hawaii depuis maintenant 10 jours,les vagues etaient petite jusqu'a maintenant et la le swell commence a bien grossir plusieurs gros swell sont en chemin.
Ca fais vraiment plaisir de revenir a hawaii chaque annee et de rester a la OAKLEY House avec tout le team...bonne ambiance entre les mecs et beaucoup de motivation..
c'est incroyable de se reveiller en face de Pipeline,juste avoir besoin de descendre les escaliers pour arriver sur le sable...
il y a eu quelques jours sans vagues,on en a profiter pour aller a Waikiki et s'entrainer avec Barca,on a tous eu des courbatures pendant 4jours..lol

J'ai perdu au round 64 a haleiwa,adrian buchan et Tanner gaudauskas ont bien surfer,il me manquait une bonne vague pour passer la serie..Maintenant il faut etre focus sur Sunset pour la derniere epreuves de l'annee.

Bravo a Taj Burrow pour avoir gagner la compete et Adam melling pour avoir fais 2eme...

PLus de news bientot!!!

ASP EUROPEAN CHAMP 2011!!!!

2011-10-01T08:21:00.000-07:00

HI,
Im so stocked i just won the ASP EUROPEAN CHAMPION title!!!
I'm in the Azores Island for the last WQS in Europe (6stars prime event)
I lost in the 2nd round so I had to wait until today to find out if I win the title or not ...i was in the lead of the rankingsince Zarautz but the race was tide with Aritz,alain,glenn and vincent..
Alain Riou surfing was the last European surfer in this event...He was needing to reach the quarter final to won the title but he lost 1 round before so got it!!!im the new EUROPEAN CHAMP!!!YESSS AHAHA....
I'm really glad to win this title, it's a good way to close the European season!
I hope to keep going to the rest of the year and try do to my best to get some other result...I did not start the year very well but i had some good results and i have my confidence back!!!!

Je suis aux Acores pour la dernière compete de l'année en EUROPE,
j'ai perdu au 2eme tours donc j'ai du attendre jusqu'a aujourd'hui pour savoir si j'allais gagner le titre ou pas...
Alain Riou etait le dernier surfeur europeen en course et il a perdu 1tour avant les quart.
Dommage pour lui et heureusement pour moi car s'il arriver en quart de finale ça aurait etait lui le CHAMPION d'EUROPE ASP 2011!!
Je suis vraiment content d'avoir gagner ce titre,c'est une bonne façon de cloturer la saison europeene..
J'espere continuer a faire d'autres resultats avant la fin de l'année...

1st victory on the WQS at Newquay!!STOCKED

2011-08-19T02:40:00.000-07:00

HI,
I am so happy to win the WQS at Newquay.This is my first win on the WQS so i'm so stocked and specially win an event in Europe.
I still don't realize what happen!!.
I was feeling great in England and my board was so good!!i was surfing my normal board:
AL MERRICK,REMIX 5'10 18 1/8 2 1/8!!
I went to Lacanau directly after but i lost on the round 48,i did an interference...
I am little bit disappointed to lost early at Lacanau but we still have so many contest coming up.
I am a bit tired since my victory at Newquay,but now i have 1 week off before the 6stars in Zarautz(spain),so i can relax and be ready for the next event.
Thanks all for supporting me during this week,best feeling ever!!!

je suis trop content d'avoir remporté le WQS du Newquay.C'est ma premiere victoire en WQS donc c'est enorme,et heureux car c'est en Europe!!
j'arrive toujours pas trop a réaliser mais je suis trop heureux.
Je me sentais bien la-bas et j'etais en forme et ma board marchais grave!!!
J'ai enchaîné avec Lacanau mais j'ai perdu au round 48 sur une interference..
je suis decu d'avoir perdu tôt a Lacanau mais on peut pas gagner a chaque fois!
je suis fatigué depuis ma victoire a Newquay et j'ai pas eu le temps de me reposer!Donc 1 semaine de break avant le QS de Zarautz pour me reposer et etre pret pour tenter de faire un autre result!!

Merci a tous pour m'avoir encouragé.

NEW ZEALAND

2011-03-30T20:10:00.000-07:00

HI,
I'm on my way back from New zealand!I spent a week there for the WQS 6 star Gold Series Water ...
I lost at the 2nd round of the competition, I failed to find the good waves..
The place was really nice, a mix between the sea and mountains!!!
we landed in Auckland so we drive 6hours drive to Gisborne (contest beach),beautiful roadall the way down,and some nice surf as well..so good we were driving and when we saw some good waves on the road ,we went for a surf!!!
All the OAKLEY TEAM was staying together in a house by the sea, with jacuzzi and sauna, it was really good to come out from the surf and jump directly into the jacuzzi!!
The atmosphere was really great between the boys, Tom Whitaker was there to coach us and Beau Emerton (Oakley team manager oz) so it was really nice to enjoy the experience from this guys!

The waves were not great during the whole contest, lots of wind and it was weird because the water was slippery because of the rivers wich flung into the ocean
I spent a very good week in New Zealand with the boys ...
A big thank you to BEAU and TOMMY to driving us during this week!!!
The video of the trip will soon,but for the moment go my facebook page to chek the photos:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Romain-Cloître/248124069010
Scotland's next contest 13Avril!!
Thanks

J'ai passé une semaine en Nouvelle-Zelande pour le WQS 6 star gold water series...
J'ai perdu au 2eme tour de la compete,j'ai pas reussi a trouver les bonnes vagues.
L'endroit etait vraiment joli,un mix entre la mer et la montagne..
On a "visiter"un peu car entre l'aeroport de Auckland et Gisborne (le spot de la compete)il y avait 7hours de route!
On etait tout le Team OAKLEY ensemble dans une maison devant la mer,avec jaccuzzi et sauna,c'etait vraiment pas mal de sortir de l'eau et de se jetter direct dans le jaccuzzi brulant!!!
L'ambiance etait vraiment top entre les boys,Tom withaker etait la pour nous coacher peant la compete ainsi que Beau Emerton (oakley team manager oz) donc c'etait vraiment bien de profiter de l'experience des "vieux"!

Les vagues etaient pas super durant tout le contest,beaucoup de vent et c'etait bizzare mais l'eau glissait beaucoup a cause des riviere qui se jette partout le long des plages...
J'ai passer une tres bonne semaine en Nouvelle-Zelande avec les boys...
La video du trip sera bientot en ligne en attendant aller voir sur mon facebook ls photos du trip;http://www.facebook.com/pages/Romain-Cloître/248124069010

FOSTER'S and Back to the GOLD COAST

2011-03-16T19:19:00.000-07:00

HI,
I spent 5 days in "Fosters" with the OAKLEY team for WAVES magazine.
The place is really great and not many people in the water, the waves were small but still super fun,
to going surf you need to walk a little bit on the forest or drive on the beach,that was so nice.
We really had a great time together: some bbq and above 8 hours a day surfing .
After Foster I spent two days in Newcastle with the team to watch the comp, then I go back on the Coolangatta until Monday then off to NEW ZEALAND.
I had to go with Brenno by car to get back to the Gold Coast but he left when I was surfing: ahahah thanks MATE, LOL.
So I must fly ...
chek the album photos on my facebook:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Romain-Cloître/248124069010
J'ai passé 5 jours a "Fosters" avec le team OAKLEY pour WAVES magazine,
L'endroit est vraiment super et pas beaucoup de monde dans l'eau,les vagues étaient petites mais quelques session super fun quand même.
il fallait marcher un peu dans la foret pour allé surfer ou conduire sur la plage
L'ambiance était top on a vraiment passé du bon temps tous ensemble:quelques BBQ et surtout 8h de surf par jours...
Apres Foster je suis aller 2 jours a newcastle avec le team pour regarder la compete puis la je remonte sur Coolangatta jusqu'à lundi puis en route vers la NOUVELLE-ZELANDE.
Je devais rentrer avec brenno en voiture jusqu'à la Gold Coast mais il est partit pendant que je surfais: ahahah merci les potes,LOL.
Donc je dois prendre l'avion...

Merci

SUSHI TRAIN

FREDO GOING BIG

HI,
I arrived in Australia a few days ago, at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast.
I had the chance to watch most of the WCT except 1st round.
The waves were not really good but the level was incredible. (Jordy, Parko, Kelly, Taj)
This is the first time I look at the CT here and it was great.
I stay with Brent Dorrington here he knows all the boys from here so we had a good laugh ..
Tomorrow I'm going for a few days' FOSTER ", it has 8 hours drive from the Gold Coast down to Sydney for a trip with OAKLEY Whitaker, Melling and the rest of the team.
It might be really fun trip and as it should be some good waves.

je suis arrivé en australie il y a quelques jours,a snapper rocks sur la Gold coast.
J'ai eu la chance de regarder presque tout le WCT sauf le 1er tour.
Les vagues etaient pas vraiment bien mais le niveau etait incroyable.(Jordy,parko,kelly,Taj)
C'est la premiere fois que je regarde le CT ici et c'etait top.
Je loge chez Brent Dorrington ici il connait tous les boys d'ici donc on rigole bien..
j'ai vu les autres Francais un peu aussi,d'ailleurs FREDO POUR LA 1ere fois en 35ANS s'entraine physiquement!!!!!
Demain je vais pour quelques jours a 'FOSTER",c'est a 8h de voiture de la gold coast en descendant vers Sydney,pour un trip OAKLEY avec Withaker,Melling et le reste du team.
Ca risque d'etre vraiment marrant comme trip et il devrais y avoir des bonne vagues.

Merci

Back Home for 1 week!

2011-03-01T20:35:00.001-08:00

HI,
Some good session at home that always give pleasure before leaving for 1 month in Australia.
It's weird here since the shark attack, many people "see" sharks everywhere, we hear of sharks everywhere.
It's a bit scary but now the water is clear so there is no real risk...
I'm leaving this weekend in Australia so I have a few days to enjoy the waves and my friends.
THANKS

Je suis a la Reunion pour 1 semaine,c'est toujours bon de revenir ici.
C'est un peu bizarre depuis l'attaque de requin de la semaine dernière..Beaucoup de gens"voient"des requins partout,partout...
C'est normal après une attaque mais l'eau est claire maintenant donc il y a moins de risque...il faut faire attention aux heures a laquelle on surf comme toujours...
Je pars a la fin de la semaine en Australie,2 semaines sur la Gold Coast a Snapper,mater la fin du WCT et surfer a fond...
Merci

Fernando De Noronha

2011-02-18T04:00:00.000-08:00

HI,
I'm in Brazil for the WQS 6prime event in Fernando De Noronha with all the boys.
Fernando is an nature reserve,this place is amazing;nice waves,good food and the water color is incredible.
Looks like it's the paradise but not every-time,i lost on the 1st heat,i was needing just one small score but i didn't find a good wave.
So i'm enjoy my time with the free surf with Joan,Maxime,Alain,Marco and Tim.Tim is the only french surfer on the comp.
I hope to do better next time,i'm packing today to go back in France...

FRANCE!!!!!!!

2011-02-09T12:08:00.000-08:00

Hey,
I'm in France,i've been here for 1 week now...I was at home,it was raining so much so i couldn't surf the water was to dirty. when i saw the forecast in France with nice waves and good weather,i decided to change my flight.
I feel good here,see all my friends,try some new boards and surf some really nice waves.
Last week end was amazing:the swell,the weather were incredible.I surfed "LA NORD" in tow-in with Joan Duru during 6hours,we had so much fun!!!
I'm leaving on friday to Brazil for the first prime event this year,the contest start on tuesdays 15th...
stay stuned....

Je suis en France depuis 1 semaine,j'ai décidé de partir de la Reunion car il y avait de forte pluie et impossible de surfer l'eau était vraiment trop sale!!!La météo prévoyait de bonne vagues en France et surtout du beau temps donc ça ma bien motiver pour rentrer.
Je me sens bien d'être en France, revoir les potes,essayer de nouvelles planches,et surfer des bonne vagues...
Ce week-end les vagues ont étés incroyable,on a fais du tow-in avec Joan Duru pendant 6h,c'était incroyable on a quand même réussit a retourner le jet-ski a la fin mais rien de grave on a bien rigoler.
Je pars vendredi au Brésil pour la première compete de la saison qui commencera mardi.
A bientot

BACK FROM MENTAWAI

2010-10-05T13:43:00.000-07:00

Hi,
Im back from mentawais,i was overthere the last 10days on the wijaya boat!we get some good waves at the start and really smaller a the end!so much fun on this trip,good spirit between the surfers and the crew!the best session was bank vault and lance right!i did for the first time some harpoon fishing with stephane secretant and hugo savalli,that was good and so many fish in mentawai!

On the way back we spent 1day in kuala lumpur at the sun lagoon waves pool,for a private session just for us.
So strange to surf in a pool,amazing background because the pool is located in the center of a big shopping center.we spent 2hours just for us,really nice feeling but not easy to surf the waves pool!
I was really happy with this trip;2nd trip in mentawaii and first time ever in waves pool!

Now i'm on the way for reunion island but i have to spent 12hours transit in Doha and 1day in paris!
Can't wait to go home!

thanks

AZORES= WHERE ARE THE WAVES????

2010-08-15T11:48:00.001-07:00

Im still in azores!
The contest is cancelled,the asp and the surfers decided to cancelled the event this morning.Nothing was breaking this morning maybe 10 to 20 cm..really really bad.
I was 1st heat of the round 96,so i wake up every morning at 6am to go to the chek in for nothing but i was the first to the breakfast,so nothing to bad...
So we spent 1 week here with almost no surf,but we are lucky because AZORES is a perfect and beautiful place to visit and see all the water-fall and the mountain.
Tonight i will go out little bit with Marc (lacomare),Joan (duru) before the flight tomorrow and im going directly to Lacanau for the WQS 6 stars.
speak soon
thanks

Newquay and back in France

2010-08-06T10:07:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
Im already back in france.
I lost in the round 48 in the boardmasters yesterday.
the waves were 3ft little bit windy, I was felling really good in my first heat but i lost in the round 48,i didn't catch the right waves and i take to much waves as well.
i was really angry because is was a big challenge to choose between the US OPEN and the WQS in England.
I lost yesterday at 12pm and 2hours after i was already on the plane to France,the weather wasn't that good over there and i hate to stay in a place when i'm out from the contest!

Now i'm in France for view days before the 6stars prime in AZORES,i hope i will do better on this one.
see you soon

The contest start tomorrow,i'm surfing heat 22 so maybe no contest for me tomorrow....

We went to the mountains "LE MAIDO" at the sunrise.The road was little bit long but that was really sick,i been views times when i was a kid (maybe the last time was when i was 10 years old).The weather was amazing,no clouds just a beautiful sunrise

Since last thursday the swell getting bigger,so i surf some nice waves at St leu and a sick "barriere" just two peoples in the water ;my Friend David Grainville and me.
Last week end we did a big party at "LA GUELE DE BOIS" it's the best place for party because the owner is a good friend so we can do what we want!!!!AHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
