PERFECT BREAK
If we manage to take a break, we have plenty of options for our holidays. In terms of windsurfing we can check the latest wind statistics, book the best rated hotels and have access to a lot of other parameters that help us to make the right decisions for a perfect “time off”. After countless trips all around the globe, my priorities are slowly shifting. Don’t get me wrong, I am still in search of wind and waves but I try to focus on what’s essential instead of looking for the most comfortable option. I care about the experience of travelling and the challenges I have to overcome during the trip. It’s about discovering new horizons, to be in nature and to really take a break from all the things that don’t add any value to our life. With that in mind I meet up with Jules Denel and photographer Pierre Bouras ready for a new adventure. In a small village called Crozon in Brittany we started our surf trip on bikes. Equipped with a small bag of gear attached to our bike trailers, we set out to discover this part of the French coast from a different angle. It’s not about rushing from A to B in a certain time or about travelling gigantic distances. We just wanted to go with the flow and adapt to nature in the best possible way. If there is wind and waves, we stay in the water, if not, we hop on our bikes and travel to the next location, where we can set up our tents on the beach.
WINDEPENDENCE
We are independent, just the wind and waves tell us where to go. Travelling by bike is different and bares a lot of surprises. It doesn’t cost anything apart from your own power. You get to the most exposed places and travel at a speed where you still see the flowers along the road.
