France in the summer is a pretty rad place, to say the least.
This July i went down to figure out my new job role with Rip Curl as UK team manager and marketing -co ordinator.
It defiantly doesn't mean that i'm giving up my surfing, and spending hours and hours behind a desk.
I'm stoked to be more involved with Rip Curl and have something else to keep me occupied with. Rip Curl have backed me since i was 12 years old, i feel like i am part of a very special little family who really care about surfing and who are passionate about making the best core products so that surfers can have the most enjoyment out of the sport possible.
As a profesional surfer i find life is obviously amazing, The past 5-6 years have been an adventurous, full filling journey of enjoyment and pure satisfaction, living life to its fullest.
I have been lucky enough to live my dream through what i love doing.
and its defiantly not going to stop now.
Lyndon and i are planning an epic journey this winter, which is probably going to be one of the biggest and exciting trips of our life's.
keep posted for more info on the trip.
France does go flat, in fact like the whole of europe france went flat for a solid 2 weeks in july,
but when the swell finally came the enjoyment of surfing was doubled.
I think mother nature does this to us sometimes when we take it for granted.
Estagnotts Car park is a sick place to hang, when your living in a van you can meet so many cool people, and constantly be on the surf at its best time of the day, as your checking it pretty much every 10 minutes.
legendary couple from germany ( best coffe in the car park )
The crew hit the big festival in Biarritz.
