Who Are You:
Fan de sports de glisse (snowboard, surf), j’ai découvert le SUP en m’installant à Préverenges (Suisse) il y a quelques années.
Ça fait 4 ans que je me suis équipé et en habitant au bord du Léman, je peux sortir quasiment tous les jours et toute l’année.
Le SUP vient compléter la belle saison dès que la saison de snowboard est terminée (bien qu’en hiver je fais souvent les deux la même journée).

Who Are You:
My first contact with Stand-up-Paddle was made thanks to my profession as a photographer. I had the chance to go to the 4 corners of the world to discover incredible and original spots.
In Hawaii, stand-up-paddleboarding is the sport of kings. I discovered the stand-up-paddle in a visual way before getting on it. Like many people, I discovered the thrills of paddleboarding while observing Laird Hamilton passing off the Ho'okipa spot while walking on the water in the early 2000s. All the photographers present during these shooting sessions had a look intrigued and slightly mocking by the ignorance of this sport which has since become largely democratized.

I discovered SUP in 2008 thanks to Antoine Albeau's nephews on the Ile de Ré and became addicted to it. In 2019, we sell house and quit our jobs to go for 1 year around the world with our 3 daughters and a Fool Moon paddle board. The best experience of my life.

Today I mainly do SUP and more and more Wingfoil which I practice every windy day on the lakes of Ile de France before settling very soon by the sea.

Who Are You:
I am an island girl, a happy mother of a 4 year old boy and a lawyer by training.
Surrounded by a beautiful lagoon, naturally I love sup and surfing.
After several years of competition, in the USA, France and Polynesia, I decided to start a club, at home, in January 2020, in order to be able to transmit my passion to young and old. It is a real pleasure to see children and adults alike enjoy being on or in the water, rowing or surfing. It also allows me to continue to play sports by practicing the disciplines that I like: sup-race, sup-surf, long board and especially in the long term, I would like our club to organize a stage of the Coupe de France here. in Tahiti and why not in other overseas departments, it would be a very enriching cultural exchange and it would change the spots were we usualy go in mainland France.
Finally, I will end with this sentence: “let's make the most of what surrounds us, whether we are at the seaside or in the mountains, the main thing is to take care of our body, our mind, for good health” .

Competitor since always, I discovered SUP four years ago when I saw a rider in the middle of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez gliding on the water with grace and silence. After having learned my skills on inflatable boards and a few motivating encounters, I invested in my first hard board in 12.6 and started competing in kahunas. Following my first place in the 6 km of the French championship in 12.6 in Annecy, I went for a 14 x 24 Moonbow / Fool Moon and I am patiently waiting on the water for the new season.

My best surf trip was when I decided to live in Guadeloupe. This two-year trip was the most beautiful trip of my life and the best place I have known to practice all board sports on the water. Downwind conditions, waves, warm transparent water, wind, what ask for more? Not to mention the hospitality from the people of Guadeloupe, the very simple way of life. It really feels like home to me and hope to return as soon as possible! ;)

Who Are You:
I am Olivia, I am 23 years old, and I live for the sea and the ocean. I have always lived by the sea and these are
my parents who passed this passion on to me, starting with sailing.
From a very young age, we took cruises on our 9-meter sailboat, and then I was able to
participate in regattas in Marseille with them.
Then I hooked up with windsurfing which I have practiced for more than 10 years in competition
up to international level, then winfdoil.
When I arrived in Guadeloupe 3 years ago, I discovered SUP with my STAPS teacher Cyrille Curtit
who is also part of the Fool Moon team and I totally hooked!
I practice a lot of outdoor sports, surfing, sup, windsurfing, trail, climbing, spearfishing
marine and the foil under any support that grows more and more.
What I love most of all is travel, discovery, sporting challenges and riding!
I am now studying physiotherapy in Spain for 3 years, and then I hope to travel by sailboat
around the world by riding the best spots while being able to help and care for people in the
need.
