I spent most of my childhood living and travelling on a sailboat with my parents from North to the Méditéranean sea.
I discovered windsurfing in south of France in 1989... This has been the beginning of a never-ending love story and unlimited search for the best wind and waves spots during the last 18 years: Normandy, french britany Corsica, south of France, then Morroco, Menorca, Guadalupe island, South africa, Sardinia, Venezuela, Los Roques, Portugal, Hawaii...And Tarifa (Spain), windsurfing Mecca in Europe, which is at present my home spot.
