Salinas Festival 2010

WAAAAAAAAAOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This year the festival was more than amazing !!!

Leaving france with Tinina Etienne a surfer girl from Guadaloupe we drove our french island crew thru the bask country and arrived in Salinas where we were immidiatly stroke by the number of  "festivalieros".

Good waves for the day before the comp started, we had good fun riding with a huge longboard community which come to the "rendezvous" each year...

This year my birthday seemed to be amazing, thanks to this Festival !

Because of the amount of competitors , the 2010 event was to be a tag team.

With 3 favorites The VANS team as Antoine Delperro for a captain

The UK team with my good friend James Parry for captain

And The Lufi team A which I was happy to lead...

the contest ran well as the heat advances and we passed a 1rst round strongly in front of the Uk Team

.Meanwhile i enjoyed a heat on a SUP with Tinina who shreded well and pass thru the women longboard division...

On the night before the 1st of August all the portugueese and tinina joined to celebrate my birthday around a good chineese dinner and bowling parties where we had heaps of laughs !!!

I finish at the big free concert with James Parry and other guys which was sooooo ffuuuuuunnnn !!!

I came back bed early to assure a good end of event and a good team leading... !

On the final day, waves had gone a little and wind came in but we manage to finish second behind Antoine's team and front of James' one ....

Tinina flew the french guadaloupe  flag , on the highest place of the women podium !!!
