ALAIN RIOU got nominated for the 2014 Billabong XXL Awards for his recent performance in Tahiti. On Tuesday May 14th, Quiksilver’s Tahitian surfer took one the greatest waves of a day blessed by a fantastic swell by riding perfectly a 20 feet monster wave.

I just got back from one of the best trip of my life in Alaska. It's such a beautiful part of the world but also in great danger! 

 

Like Greenland where the trip I did when I was 10 y.o changed my life and my passion for snowboarding and mountains. All the regions of the Arctic are the scene of a up coming disaster if things don't change. 

 

Oil companies, huge fishing industries, transport... are doing doing all they can to spoil the Arctic. 

 

It's a fact the Arctic ice floe is melting and this would open new routes for oil drilling, massive industrial fishing and commercial transport but for what price!

 

It's so far away from us that we seem not to care much but smallest changes there can dramatically affect the face of the entire planet.

 

So please take 30 seconds to join Greenpeace International and help to declare the Arctic off limits to oil drilling, industrial fishing...

 

Mathieu Crepel.

From April through November, Boardriders House in Hossegor, south-west France, opens its doors to teens, adults and even kids (from 12 yrs) looking to learn to surf with the Pro's! Here's the tour filmed during the week with Jeremy Flores. 

Under the supervision of qualified instructors and pro surfers from the Quiksilver, Roxy, or Moskova teams. they'll be around every day, guiding you as you catch your first wave or fine-tune your board skills, and sharing their love of surfing with you.

The Surf Camp complex consists of four luxury villas, nestling in over two acres of woodland just a stone's throw from Europe's most celebrated surf spots. We offer week-long surf courses, with or without accommodation, and a B&B à la Carte package for adults.

You'll also be able to enjoy our "added extras", additional services designed to ensure your stay is one to remember.
