My motto is....to barell


Most memorable moment this year: I went to Tahiti for friends wedding. I want to go back!


Your best day riding: Haipiti in Moorea. Perfect lefts. Sharks. Clear water. What else?


When did you start riding? Few years ago, on a alpine snowboard. I broke the bindings 4th time jumping. It was time for soft boots.


What drives you to get up and ride every day? The feelings of a slash, or to land a big spin, or just a good tweak. And to enjoy with friends.


Who are your main influences (on snow and in life)? Everybody influence me, specially my parents and my friends. I really like the snowboard vision of Wolle. Ride everything, no matter the weather, snow conditions, lifts…


What sort of music do you listen to? I only have a tape reader in my car so a lot of radio trend tunes. I like every kind of music except ragga. 


How did you get to your level of snowboarding? Just ride every day you can, even if the lifts are closed, or if you’re hangover. I know sometime it hurts!


Do you do other board sports? I love to surf. I’m pretty bad but it’s so cool. I wish I have a wave in front of my house. I wish I have a house too.



What would you be doing if Snowboarding wasn't your job? 
I probably would have studied more. But travelling, dealing with sponsors, meeting people are way better than school and a good way to learn life!


Do you have spiritual beliefs? No


What are your plans for next year?
No ideas. For the moment, I wait for snow and ride my bike a lot.


What do you get out of snowboarding?
happiness!

Thanx Bourbous !
