Lost in the Swell

Surfers, Adventurers
Every adventure is a dream come true. For 10 years we (Ronan Gladu, Aurélien Jacob, Ewen Le Goff) roam the world searching for never surfed waves. This allows us to meet different cultures in an environmentally-friendly dimension, which usually consists of using non-polluting transport. Whether by bike, by foot or by donkey, each expedition brings its lot of novelty, unexpected factors, and challenges. For several years we have been scouting this interesting Patagonian coast, which offers good potential for surfing. But finding a good way of getting there was not that obvious. Until the day we met Marion and Erwan, and found out by chance (it must have been) that their next stopover was precisely the place we wanted to explore. I won’t tell you how it ended and I invite you to watch the web serie of the adventure!

Erwan, it’s firstly a story of friendship, born during our encounter at the Mer-Montagne award. For me, Maewan is pure adventure. I wanted to be part of something that looked even more like adventure than my usual offshore races.

- Asset on landattract all ladies, but it’s pity because they speak only Spanish
- Distinguishing featureLittle blue-eyed Breton, definitively the most handsome of the group
- Sport achievement with MaewanWe have not done a lot of sport activity. It was mostly about coastal navigation, except for raising the anchor I do not know what else would count as sport (laughs)!
