Rémy
Originally from Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton, I had the chance to grow up in the waves and the world of snow sports, thanks to my parents, both surf and ski instructors.
I have been teaching surfing for 8 seasons on the Landes coast, skiing and snowboarding in the Alps for 15 years. I have also been training a group of promising young snowboaders in competition for 8 years.
It is with pleasure and desire that I put my technical, educational and environmental skills at your service, in order to help you discover the joys of surfing in complete safety. It does not matter whether you are a beginner looking for new sensations or looking to improve your technical knowledge and the surrounding environment.
Hope to see many of you to meet your expectations with all of my teammates.
