I come from Chamonix, France, even though I don’t sound like it. I rode all the time as a kid, then I competed in the French comps every weekend growing up. I moved up to europa cups when I turned 16, then moved on to freeride competitions and the FWQs last year. I chase the snow all year with my partner Izzy who is on Nidecker too, once the Northern winter finishes we head south for the Southern winter, then hit the Northern glaciers so we can ride year-round. Snowboarding is literally my life.
What’s your stance width all about then?
Depends on the board I’m riding, but usually one insert over recommended. If I’m on a board thats got setback I try to get it as centred as possible.
Piece of advice you wish you had when you were starting out?
Always make sure you’re having fun.
Stand out career highlight so far?
Winning my first Freeride comp in Chamonix.
When you’re not snowboarding, what do you love doing?
Mostly thinking about snowboarding. Otherwise, skateboarding with my homies, surfing or mountain biking.
