"I had a dream."
Hugo discovered a passion for the sea and water sports when he arrived at Ré island, France, at 14 years old. At 18, he decided to stop his studies to focus only on kitesufing. He went to Brazil for several months for intensive training and came back more motivated than ever.
Hugo is part of the younger French generation that pushes freestyle riding, he will compete on the PKRA tour this year while continuing his video productions.
Takoon: "We are proud to introduce him in the Family, next to Mallory and Rodolphe. This approximation is natural because Hugo fits perfectly with Takoon’s spirit. He’s a rider with a lot of style. Hugo is very versatile, able to perform in both freestyle & surfing, always with the smile. "
Hugo: "I am happy to join a French brand that develops products for both freestyle and wave riding. I’m really exited by products as well as the warmth and spirit of the team. I ride the Furia for freestyle and I use the Log in waves. Regarding boards, I’m using Source 136 and 134 Lux with bindings. And of course the Burning Gamma for surfing. For me contests are as important as movies, I intend to really focus on these 2 things! »
Misschien niet het aller verstandigste om zijn studie af te maken, maar dikke respect dat die het wel doet en zijn echt passie volgt!
Als ik de skills had zou ik hetzelfde wel willen doen in het verleden. En heey iemand die er vol voor gaat moet ook de volle commitment aan zijn passie hebben lijkt me. En ja soms moet je offers daarvoor maken de meest succesvolle mensen hebben hun studie ook niet afgemaakt he (maarja kitesurfen is dan ook weer niet echt een vetpot lijkt me, zelfs al ben je pro).
