Petites news d'Australie, 10jours que je suis arrivé et directement plongé dans le rythme soutenu de l'entrainement en équipe de France !! Les premiers réveils à 7h dans le lac Ainsworth ( Lennox Head ) ont été difficiles et forts en intensité, mais l'entrainement porte ses fruits et deviens de moins en moins difficile à mesure que le corps s'endurcis. La routine s'installe, réveil dans le lac, petit déjeuner puis surf en face de la maison sur un petit beach break tranquille sans personne à l'eau, idéal pour lancer une trentaine de jeunes affamés de vagues ! Puis après manger, les jeunes partent travailler, et nous retournons surfer ou partons faire du physique avec Pitou ( le kiné et entraineur de l'équipe ). Streatching avant de manger pour bien récupérer, et une bonne nuit de sommeil pour attaquer une nouvelle journée et repousser ses limites.
Little news from Australia, 10 days since i arrived and I came directly immersed in the hard rhythm of training with the french team ! The first alarm clock at 7am in Lake Ainsworth (Lennox Head) were tough and strong in intensity, but the training pays off and becomes less difficult as the body becomes stronger. Becomes routine, waking in the lake,breakfast and surfing in front of a house on a small beach break with no one out , ideal to launch a thirty young surfers hungry for waves! Then after eating, the youngest leave work, and we return to the surf or start physical training with Pitou (the physic and coach of the team). Streatching before eating to recover well, and a good night's sleep to tackle a new day and push your limits.

From here to there 12-03-2012
Le séjour à Hawaii est terminé, les conditions n'ont pas été favorables les derniers jours, c'est donc en compagnie de Rico ( prowaterman français ), que j'ai pu tester la pirogue sur la côte Est de l'île plus protégée, un pur bonheur ! Supers souvenirs, riche expérience que fus ce trip à Hawaii, je serais de retour l'année prochaine. En attendant me voilà arrivé sur une terre nouvelle, pleine de promesse de bonnes vagues, l'Australie !! A très bientôt !
This trip to Hawaii is over, the conditions were not favorable the last days, that's why,accompanied by Rico (pro frenchwaterman), I've tested the Va'a on the east coast of the island more protected from the stormy conditions,it was pure fun ! Great memories, rich experience that this trip was to Hawaii, I would be back next year. Meanwhile, here I am in a new land, full of promise of good waves, Australia! See you soon!

Bonjour à tous, petit résumé de la semaine passée : petit tour à Honolulu lorsque les vagues n'étaient plus au rendez-vous, puis l'arrivée d'un nouveau swell et du début du Volcom Pipe Pro avec la victoire impressionnante de John John, c 'est une expérience énormément enrichissante tant on peux observer en live le placement et la technique de ces surfers sur une vague aussi difficile, sans oublier le beau parcours de Ramzi. Pas mal de planches cassées au fur et à mesure des sessions. Ces derniers jours le vent d'ouest ( onshore ) est arrivé dégradant le plan d'eau mais pas notre motivation. Les prochains jours vont être un vrai challenge puisque un swell énorme est en route, et peux être la possibilité de surfer Waimea Bay. Aloha !!
Hello everyone, quick summary of last week: little trip to Honolulu when the waves were too small, then the arrival of a new swell for the Volcom Pipe Pro with the impressive victory of John John Florence, it's an amazing experience as you can see live the placement and technique of these surfers on a wave as difficult, without forgetting the good performance of my good friend Ramzi Boukhiam. A lot of broken boards sessions after sessions, but that's the price to pay i guess. These days the west wind (onshore) arrived, degrading the waves but not our motivation. The coming days will be a real challenge because a huge swell is coming, and can be big enough to surf Waimea Bay. Aloha !!
