good swell at home last week end.

HI,
I love to be at home!!!
It's so good because is summer time it's like more than 30 degrees everyday,just surfing and little bit party with my friends...
The waves been small since i get here but last week end was really good,i surf st leu super fun and saturday we surf with the jet ski at "Etang sale",really nice left...The swell was little bite to big every where so we decided with David and Fredo to take the jet ski and try to surf this left and finally that was really nice (3m on the big set)..It was good to surf with the jet ski because the wave is really long so don't need to paddle....
chek this link;http://www.surfsession.com/2010/12/20/reunion-session-tow-a-letang-sale/
the swell going down for all the week i think but maybe a little push for christmas :-)

BACK FROM MENTAWAI


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

So im just cruising at home,training with Fredo,Sancho and GILLES A.K.A BILLOUT, and working on my board as well with al merrick.

There's is some views shots from SRI LANKA last July,that was during the 6 stars event,i was staying with the spanish boys and SYLVAIN FREI (gony's coach),so he send me some shots from this trip.

The wave is a little Slab just on the front of our hotel,really nice but really shallow.

AZORES= WHERE ARE THE WAVES????

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

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
