Tell us a little about yourself?
I’m a French guy, from the south west of France to be precise, and I dedicate my freetime to the ocean and the mountains. I live for the ocean, the mountains and mother nature. My life is built around my passions and new experiences. I’m a bit of a dreamer who expects life to be about peace, love and happiness… Home sweet home is deep inside the Pyrénées mountain in south west of France. This range is forever in my heart. More precisely, Le Domaine du Tourmalet is the resort I grew up and learned on. Nowadays I’m everywhere I can find fresh terrain, new mountains, new experiences and good vibes. Watch out planet earth!!

How was your summer any highlights?
Busy at work, biking…and paddling hours on a lake to be fit for surfing! “Long, long, long, long hot summer night…” James Marshall Hendrix. Word!
When did snowboarding become a passion for you?
Basically, when the all thing started. I was a young skier, but a few pioneers in the Pyrenees were already riding down the slopes and it looked like fun. My first backcountry experiences were on skis as well but my buddies were boarding. I was skateboarding and when I tried it I fell in love. Snowboarding is a natural extension of my other activities. A snowboard is the perfect toy to commune with the mountains and natural terrain.
Best place in the world snowboarding has taken you?
Argentina is definitely a highlight!

I’m happy to be one of the first to ride in Arson's new Orion System program. It represents my quest for the perfect balance between comfy gear and environmental awareness.
