DRUG AWARE PRO margaret river

The comp should be ON for us in the next 2 days, meanwhile you can watch the men shred in solid waves, click here to watch the live.

in newcastle

HI all, im writing from Newcastle, NSW, getting ready for my heat tomorrow. Its not going to be an easy one because im with Sally Fitzgibbons and Bianca Buitentag, and the waves are pretty tricky (2ft onshore), but its exciting and I hope I can surf my best.
Its already almost a month that Im here, and last couple of dayswe got probably the best waves I've surfed on the east coast of Australia so far, and someone filmed it so I will have to track that person down to get some images on this blog.
Meanwhile if you want to watch the contest live go on http://surfest.com/live.html,
will post more stuff soon!

hey
i know ive been really bad at updating this blog lately but I've been here in australia for 2 weeks already. I did the trials of the Roxy pro gold coast kind of hoping the waves would be pumping but unfortunately it wasnt! but getting plenty of surf at DBah and so far having a really fun trip.

I just saw a cool article on the lightning bolt website you can clic here to read the full thing, its about my cousins Justin and Gege but me and my brother are in it too. Good memories of Cali.

time to go

It's been one month that I'm here already, and I've had more good waves than in the whole year, and also a lot of fun with my family. It's pretty rare to get me and all my brothers at the same place, and this time only Paul the youngest one was missing but it was cool to hang out and surf all day. My cousins Justin and Jeremy were here as well.
I was with my friend Kassia the other day and she made that video it's a tribute to Maya Deren with Brian Mcbride's music. I thought it was really beautiful so i just posted it.
Sad to leave Cali but I will be back soon hopefully and Australia should be really fun.
I will post the 2nd California video real soon.

Cali Video part.1

Its been a few days since we arrived and already got to score some good surf. Here's a first little video of the trip, my dad pretty much killed us on that one!. check it out!

qui marchande le mieux? bresil vs maroc

voila une petite video que j'ai faite d' Andre Silva, lors de notre dernier voyage au maroc.




On n'a pas eu trop de vague pendant ce trip, mais j'ai eu des souvenirs d'un voyage que j'ai fait au meme endroit, il y a 2 ans avec Roxy. On a eu pleins de parutions dans les magazines et les photos donnent l'impression d'un trip de reve. Mais en verite, ca a ete pour nous toute une aventure pleine de rebondissements. On n'a pas eu une journee sans que quelque chose arrive, par exemple, qu'un des 4x4 soit engloutis par la mer, ou que kassia se trompe de chemin et descende une falaise avec le second 4x4. On a eu le plus gros swell de la decennie, on a casse toutes les planches, nos vetements ne sont jamais arrives. Tout le groupe m'a oublie a l'hotel a Marrakesh le dernier jour. On est restees dans un endroit sans eau ni electricite pendant 3 jours. On a dormi 3h par nuit. Et apres tout ca, Jen a decide de rester 2 semaines de plus! cette fille est folle. Enfin malgre toutes ces peripethie, j'ai appris enormement et on a eu des supers vagues, donc je le referai volontier si je devais.
Voila quelques photos, que j'ai recuperees du site de Candice O'Donell.

Happy 2012

Hey, here comes the end of the year again and I have to say it goes faster every year.. time flies when you have fun and 2011 was a really interesting year for me, not really full of contest results, but full of surprises and change in my life. I have a feeling 2012 is going to be great and can't wait! Thanks to everyone who's been supporting me through this blog. Happy new year to you all.

some more holga photos

I just went to get 2 old rolls developed. one was from my holga and had these shots in it.
I did them on trips last year. brasil-australia- brasil- bali.
The other one is probably form 3-4 years ago, I totally forgot about it and found them the other day. I will put them online soon.

Back in France

Here are a few photos that Raimundo Cavalcante made during a session. I've been back for 2 days and I already miss all my Brasilian friends. I guess it's how it is when you travel, you have like a new little family on every trip you make.
Right now I have a ton of paperwork to do before I leave again, but the video will be coming soon!

ps. hows my little jump haha best style ever!














et pour tous les francais desolee de ne pas ecrire plus souvent en francais mais c'est juste que j'ai souvent la flemme d'ecrire 2 fois la meme chose et ceux qui parlent anglais me demandent une traduction. Mais la je viens de rentrer en France, il fait frisquet apres le Bresil mais ca va, de toute facon j'ai pleins de choses tres ennuyeuses a faire donc je suis presque contente qu'il fasse mauvais. Et aussi j'ai vu "Hollywoo" hier je le recommande a tout le monde tres bon film.
Je mettrai bientot une video du dernier voyage a Fortaleza. J'espere que tout le monde va bien, a bientot!

A drawing kassi and I made in Indo

In Brasil

Here are a couple of photos from Titanzinho, Fortaleza. I've been here for a week already. We are making a little video about what's been going on since we made the movie Titan Kids. There's been some good changes so we would like to show that. I will be staying here until Dec. 10th and then I'm going back home. So a few more days in the sun and then I'll be back in the cold! It's okay I kinda like cold weather during Christmas time.

Mentawaii video

Mentawaii Trip with Roxy

Just got back from a really good trip to the Mentawaiis, Indonesia. It is not really the best season to score waves over there but we got pretty lucky and had 3 really fun swells. We stayed on the land-camp at Kandui for the 1st week, and the second week we stayed on a boat. Mentawaiis is pretty much the dream destination for any surfer, it was my third time over there and it is still as fun. We were a really fun crew with kelia moniz, bruna schmitz, sally fitzgibbons, kassia meador, monica byrne-wickey, rosy hodge and many more.. here's a couple of photos and I will make a little video soon...

betty the shark

Hey
im leaving NY tomorrow to Indo.. It should be good to be in warm weather and surf all day long!
I've had an awesome time here I just spent time with my brother and friends, and we played a little bit of music. here is some of the stuff we recorded. this is only sound dont worry if you dont see a video. Our band's name is Betty The Shark and the song name is "Palm Tree"

October, NYC

Hi,
Im sorry I didnt give news for such a long time. Since last time I posted on this blog, I did that show for eurosport that was pretty fun. As soon as they give me the stuff I did I will post it on this blog. It was like some backstage footage that people wouldn't see normally, I was shooting with a little go pro which made it easy.
Right now Im in NY with my friend Christina from Troprouge (fashion blog).
She used to live in Biarritz and her family is like a second family to me. We're playing a lot of music so I will try to post some of the stuff we do soon.
That's it but I will post interesting stuff soon I hope.

september sessions

Bonjour A tous
Je suis en France en ce moment, j'ai decidé de ne pas aller aux Açores pour la derniere compet' de l'annee vu que dans tous les cas je ne pourrai pas me qualifier. Je suis plutot contente de ce choix car on a eu une semaine de vagues parfaites, et que j'ai pu faire quelques photos avec Greg Rabejac. Apparement les filles ont été lancées dans des conditions médiocres aux Açores (50 cm et beaucoup de vent). Donc pas de regret!
Le Quik Pro France va bientot commencer et il me tarde car en général les vagues sont au rendez vous pour cette compétition. En plus je vais presenter une chronique sur Eurosport dans le premier talk show dediée au surf. Je n'ai jamais fait ça avant donc j'espere que je vaincrai ma timidité ! Ca devrait etre une bonne experience...
Voila quelques photos "ratees" des derniers jours

sunset session

I went shooting yesterday with Greg Rabejac, waves were kinda fun but got worst when we went out. We didn't get the money shot but i liked the look of these photos. Have to try again with better waves!
