Ice Ice Baby
This is our Iceland movie, we almost brought a filmer with us on that trip but that didn't happen and we just thought we'd try to make a movie on our own, all taking turns filming and I did this little 10 minute edit. Check it out!

Antipodes trip
J'ai passe quelques jours a Byron Bay avec tout le team SOSH, Mathias Dandois et Maxime Charveron en bmx, et Jeremy Flores, Maxime Huscenot et moi en surf, pour le tournage du film Antipodes.
C'etait une bonne idee de melanger plusieurs disciplines sur un trip, on a eu droit a une petite lecon de bmx et surtout c'etait vraiment impressionant de voir Mathias et Maxime a l'action.
Voila quelques photos et videos, pour plus d'info allez sur www.ridesessions.com !

Spirit Of Akasha
I've been in Australia for a few weeks now, I first came for a Sosh surf/BMX trip and the Roxy Pro trials, but a lot of other cool things popped up since I'm here. One of them is that I got to work on the soundtrack of Andrew Kidman's new movie, Spirit Of Akasha. I did a little collaboration with the Canyons on 2 songs, which should sound pretty cool!
Spirit Of Akasha is a movie celebrating the 40 years anniversary of Albert Falzon's Morning of The Earth film. Here's the trailer:
Check out the Canyons, I really like what they do!

Traversée des USA en voiture
On est arrivés en Californie le 22 Décembre, juste aprés la soi-disant fin du monde. J'ai passe l'année a penser que je fêterais bien la fin de mon existence sur cette planete, mais au final j'ai completement oublie, et comme les mayas se sont apparemment trompes, on s'est un peu tous sentis bêtes le 22. Je n'imagine même pas les gens qui ont acheté des rations de nourriture pour les 20 prochaines années.
Revenons a la traversée des US. On est partis de Caroline Du Sud, sans trop savoir quel serait notre programme et combien de temps on prendrait. La premiere partie du voyage etait plutot tranquille, le gens du Sud sont tres agréables et partout ou on s'arretait on rencontrait des gens qui se demandaient ce que faisait une Francaise dans ce coin perdu. La serveuse d'un bar, Gloria, nous raconte qu'elle jouait dans un groupe qui s'appelait "Merci Beaucoup", mais qu'ils ont arreté. Elle est blonde platine, tres maquillee et j'ai du mal a comprendre ce qu'elle raconte. Apparement elle essayait d'etre la nouvelle Blondie, mais ca n'avait pas trop marché.
Notre premier arrêt était Nashville. C'est la mecque de la musique Country aux Etats-Unis, et tous les bars ont des groupes qui jouent toute la journee et espere reussir dans le milieu. On est arrivés une heure apres la fermeture du magasin de guitare, ce qui etait surement un cadeau du ciel pour mon compte en banque.
On a repris la route et conduit 28 heures sans s'arreter. Vers 3 heures de l'apres midi, aprés ce qui semblait etre une eternité dans la voiture, on est arrivés au Grand Canyon. Je pense qu'on a du prendre la mauvaise route et on s'est retrouvés dans un coin perdu. En essayant de trouver un hotel ce soir la, on s'est rendu compte que l'hiver il neige en Arizona. Apres avoir failli rester bloques dans le blizzard a Flagstaff, on a finalement trouve un hotel sur la route 66.
Les dernieres 9 heures de route sont passees plutot vite, et pendant le voyage j'ai pu ecouter 4 fois l'integrite de mon Ipod., Je suis contente d'avoir pu voir l'interieur des Etats-Unis meme si le surf m'a manqué au bout de 3 jours enfermée dans une voiture.

Happy 2013!
To start the year on a good note, here is a new video I made from last October in France. I had such a good time hanging out with friends in Hossegor, getting barreled everyday, and watching the Quiksilver Pro France whenever we weren't surfing.
It was the final day of the Quik Pro and the waves were perfect, we decided to run away from the crowds and surf that little sandbar by ourselves. For me it was one of those days when, even though the waves are perfect, I couldn't seem to get into a good rythm, broke my board, borrowed Edouard's board for the rest of the session but kept getting into close outs. All of my friends were ripping though, so check out the video to see them shred!
Surfers: Sofia Mulanovich, Candice O'Donnell, Ornella Pelizari, Lee-Ann Curren, Edouard & Antoine Delpero.
Filming: Pierre Denoyel

Song: Retro Stefson, "Rome, Iowa"

Just posting some news from Charleston, SC. I've been here for a few days, also spent some time in Charlotte doing the mix of the Betty The Shark album at the Sioux Sioux studios. It's pretty cool to see this side of the US, and we had some fun little waves at Folly beach. We will hit the road in a few days towards California.

Betty The Shark - Palm Tree
Check out the new Betty The Shark video! We wanted to make one for a while but ended up never having the time, so we decided to add up all of the images we made last few month. It's pretty cool and brings back all the good memories of the summer! The album is now ready and mixed, and we will release it at some point in 2013. Go on bettytheshark.com for free music and facebook.com/bettytheshark for all the news!

News
This is my last day in France for 2012!
Im leaving tomorrow for the US where I'll spend the winter. Last few weeks have been pretty intense, we got to record the rest of the songs at the studio with Betty The Shark. We're pretty stoked with the outcome, now we have to mix everything and hopefully we can release a debut album next year.
The surf has been fun too, the water is slowly getting colder here though, but still alright! Can't wait to be in California again this year and surf all the point-breaks.
check out the photos, I'll post news about my trips soon!

good Icelandic tunes
Here's some music I discovered in Iceland. We saw Hermigervill play live in a bar which was pretty awesome, then one of the guys from GusGus was DJing at some other bar. And I bought Retro Stefson's last album at a local music store.

Iceland was the best

That trip was even better than expected. In a few words, we surfed perfect waves, saw northern lights, had bon fires, ate salmon, when out to some good gigs in Reykjavik, met really cool people, flew over the glaciers in a private plane.. Also, Jessi almost burnt a restaurant, Sof meditated behind a waterfall, Pauline showed everyone her skateboarding skills at the local skatepark, I ate way too many hot dogs, Amandine played the same song a million times in the car. We're editing a video, will keep you updated with that!
Iceland is an amazing surf destination and it wasn't even that cold. Like our local friend Ingo says: "In Iceland, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute" (still trying to figure out what he meant by that).
If you need any infos about doing a trip over there, you should contact him! info @arcticsurfers.is

Talk To Strangers
"Talk to strangers when the family fails and friends lead you astray
When Buddha laughs and Jesus weeps and it turns out God is gay
'Cause angels and messiahs, love, can come in many forms
In the hallways of your projects or the fat girl in your dorm
And when you finally take the time to see what they're about
Perhaps you find them lonely or their wisdom trips you out"
This song of Saul Williams makes me instantly become "secretly in love with life". He's one of my favorite artists and poets.

memories of Indo
One of the deepest barrels I've ever had, in Indo earlier this year. I was stoked to make it especially because my friends were watching from the channel!

After everyone left and went back to their lives, I decided to stay because I didn't have much to do in Biarritz anyway. Days were going by and still not much too surf, but I was happy to be there just to enjoy the Island life for a bit. On the very last day, we had almost lost all hopes of good surf until we saw the waves in the morning: the swell looked a lot bigger and no wind. We were out there at 6 am, and it just kept getting better and better all day. I had the chance to watch and surf really good teahupoo with a few other people out, and being there with Raimana to help me get waves and Tim Mckenna shooting was something every surfer would dream about. I surfed for 7 hours and got some of the best waves I've ever had, and two whales came by us at the end of the day just to say hi. After that I met with my friend Hana at a barbecue and she showed me Tahiti by night. It was hard to stay awake after that day but had a lot of fun. A great way to end this trip. Maururu Tahiti and all my friends over there! I already want to go back !

Fairy Paradise
loved this video of Coco Rosie performing "Fairy Paradise" on KEXP.

Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance"...

Le photoshoot Roxy a Tahiti vient de s'achever. Apres 12 jours a prendre toutes les photos possibles et imaginables des prochaines collections Roxy, tout le monde est rentre a ses occupations. J'ai décidé de rester un peu plus parce que cela me semblait être une bonne idée. Je reste avec Raimana Van Bastolear et sa famille. Raimana est une légende, il surfé des montagnes et a deja pris un tube sous un jet-ski, et il et l'ange gardien des surfeurs qui veulent s'essayer a Teahupo'o. Je ne pouvais pas mieux tomber comme famille d'accueil. On devrait avoir un swell ce vendredi, d'ici la je vais bien me reposer pour être en forme le jour J!
