I was more interested in skateboarding when I was young actually. But my father was a surfer so that got me into it. I started surfing when I was around 12 years old and started competing at 14. By then I was totally hooked!

I wake up around 7:30, exercise and go to my workshop just across the street. There I make some coffee and check the forecast and plan my work schedule around the surf of day! Back at home, I take care of the garden and cook the fresh yield.

I don’t really like to surf crowded lineups, so I will not reveal too much here ?. That’s also the reason I don’t have photos of most of my favorite sessions. We had a really good winter at home and Pierre Leboucher and Jan Bijl got some good shots.

I spend a lot of time wandering in India. I love the fact that waves are still unknown there so you have to find everything by yourself. Moreover it is an amazing country for so many other reasons!

I’ve been experimenting with asymmetrical surfboards for a couple of years now and I’m in love with my last one. It’s a 5’10 with asym flex-tail and fin setup. It gets more speed but still has the control of a regular shortboard.

I always start my day with ‘5 Tibetans’ postures. It wakes my up, and stretches and strengthens my body. Check out the IGTV channel of@ekambybharatifor detailed practice. Also eating homegrown and local organic products helps me to be healthy!

I have so many favorites! But Ryan Burch‘s style and creativity both on the wave and in the dust stand out for me.

I’m a shaper, so yes:@zeuglodon_surfboards.
