My bio

Born in the beautiful landscape of the north of France, I grew up closed to the nature, with lot of animals, in the famous village of Bois-Grenier.

Attracted by water and boards sports since my childhood, I began windsurfing during the summer in Brittany.
Then in the lake “Des Prés du Hem”, near Lille, training on Wednesdays, competing on Sundays, until I discovered surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, biking…

Living far away from the sea, I have time to dream, reading windsurfing and surfing magazines about exotic destinations and perfect waves.

A’level diploma and driver’s license in my pocket, I finally get closer to the sea, studying business and spending summers in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal.
As a student in Dunkirk, I saw the first Kitesurf World Cup and it was a real “Love at first sight” . I felt in love with kitesurfing.

I found a job at night, in a theater to pay my first equipment.

The feeling of flying, of freedom,a 3D sports, it’s a mix of surfing, snowboarding, wake boarding, flying… since the beginning I’m totally addicted.
