A decade to reinvent a new life 2012 – 2022

Reunion Island & Grand Canaria – 2012 to 2022

TO LEAVE & LIVE AGAIN

In 2012, after the death of my friend Matthew by a shark attack, in Reunion Island, I realized that I had to leave Reunion and to reinvent me. It’s been 10 years already that I arrived in the Canary Islands and my life has changed for the better.

Enjoy this video which quickly summarizes my journey since my arrival in the Canary archipelago. I took on challenges, I got joys and successes and I will always carry with me the link I have created with the Canaries
The moral of history ? Never give up, search and find a plan B.

YUYO PRO 2022 – Invitational event in Galdar

El Pico del Agujero – Galdar – GRAN CANARIA

MOST OF THE TOP CANARIAN RIDERS

This event is organized by El Yuyo himself, the famous local rider Alexandre Reyes.
An invitational event with most of the top Canarian riders and one of the best wave location you could imagine for a competition !
El Pico del Agujero is one the waves I can see from my house when I wake up… It is a very strong one !

For me, it is a privilege to be part of it and to be able to compet in amazing conditions of waves against some of the best local riders.

In very good conditions, and with a tight timing, this competition will be a real challenge technicaly and physicaly.
As I am on the two divisions – Open and Drop Knee – I will have to ride 6 heats on the final day on the powerfull and the majestic wave of « El Pico del Agujero »!

ON BOTH PODIUMS !

I am super stoked on the final results with a first place in the DK division. I have tried my best riding back side against Javier Ceballos, Angelo Freda and Alejandro Ryes.
In the Open division, I’m happy to be on the second step of the podium with Jonathan Vega, the event’s winner and the talented Lionel Medina and my fellow countryman from Reunion island Robin Legros !

A special thanks to Alejandro Reyes el Yuyo for the organisation of this invitational event.
And my gratitude for the local community to make me feel at home…
See you next year !

MY TRIBUTE TO EL FRONTON – video

Gran Canaria, Galdar – 2021

OBSESSION, EL FRONTON

Every morning, when I wake up I see by my window El Fronton, my neighbourg, at the bottom of the seascape.

I take the binoculars to see how the wave behave.

This incredible wave is one of the most dangerous spot in the World.

Some people would say it is my Obsession… I would probably agree.

But, it is a sane obsession that makes me stronger and aware,
that makes me realise the beauty of Mother nature.

PREPARING MY BODY & MIND

If I want to be able to ride this wave at my best level, I must be at the best physical and mental level.

For this, I need a severe discipline. By having the most healthiest routine, I stay alert to watch the beast’s awakening.

Enjoy this awesome clip that mixes amazing footages of riding and discover my daily training.

You can see that I am not exhausted in training. I am regular, competitive and I progress day after day.

Every time I ride these majestic and powerfull waves,

I realize how lucky I am to be here,

I celebrate the beauty of the ocean.
All my body and my senses are awakened.
