I was in Vannes yesterday at the BIC Sport factory to pick up the 12′6 I’ll use for the SUP World Championships, next week en Peru. I’ve paddled it this morning in Préfailles, the board is working very good, GOOD !

This is the perfect board for Anita, light and easy, I can see how she catched waves easier and surf them better than with her previous board.
I’ve also took the board for a couple of SUPsurf sessions, I’ve used a 5.25 central fin and the originals side fins and I had great sensations, I’ve enjoyed long carving cutbacks from the tail, this is a nice toy !
The ISA SUP World Championship is getting closer, I am in good shape and looking forward to the races.
Just back from Tenerife, the surf contest was very well organised (as usual) and we were 9 SUPs (not too bad considering the bad wave forecast).
Waves were small, very close to the rocks and unconsistent… I won my 1/4 final and semi final but just before the finals the decision was made to call it a day as the waves conditions were getting really too bad…
Prize money and ranking points have been shared in equal parts between the finalists, they still made an unofficial podium based on the best results in the semi finals.
I’ve won it thanks to my 2 best scores in semi finals, stoked !
Back to Fuerteventura now…
I am very proud to join the Select Paddles Team !
I’ve been paddling since mid-december with their new SUPrace paddle and since mid-january with the new SUPsurf paddle and I am very happy with the performance and quality of the Select products !

J’ai a chance de voyager souvent et de rencontrer beaucoup de monde au cours de chacun de mes déplacements.
Lors de mon dernier voyage, j’ai été présenté, par l’intermédiaire d’Eric Dupayage, à Valérie Gisclard : présidente de l’association Sed66, l’association des malades du syndromes d’Ehlers-Darlos.
Valérie est souriante et enthousiaste, ce fut une belle rencontre et une bonne leçon de vie, si vous êtes comme moi et que vous ne connaissez pas cette maladie génétique orpheline je vous invite à visiter le site du Sed66
Vous y découvrirez cette maladie, les symptomes, les témoignages, les projets et actions de l’association etc …
I am proud to be part of the French team that has been select for the ISA SUP World Championship, Miraflores, Peru February.

Last race of the year 2011… Not SUP but a 5km running race !
Great time with friends and good cross training !
Awesome race in the middle of Paris ; 10km on the Seine river in the heart of the Capital of France !
I’ve fallen at the start but managed to make my way up and I took the lead after about 25mn and won the race for the 2nd consecutive year, Gaetan Sene came 2nd and spanish Belar Diaz came 3rd ; you can check the replay at Mygeolive.com
In the afternoon sprint race on foam boards in the swimming pool of the Nautic, the kids were on fire, swimming pool and foam boards aren’t my best speciality but I have tried my best and I’ve also won this part of the event, congrats to Arthur Arutkin, 14yo who came second !
All in all a great, fun event !
