Low tide and GROWING!



"... Surfers getting confident after a few hours of hollow low tide tubes, my friend Justin Delanne (Bolt Rider) thinks he has everything under control, the lip clips him in the head and sends him straight to the reef..."
Check out the mayhem!

Surftrip-Bali---Uluwatu---Hadrien-Ballion-01

On February it was time for Hadrien Ballion and Léa Mengual, our youngest french team riders, to spend one month exploring Bali. The surfers from Bordeaux just loved the trip.

“This surftrip was incredible. 1 month in the sun, warm water and all time good waves. Never less than 3 feet. We were 5 friends, there were good vibes. We didn’t stay at one place. We visited all the island (the waterfalls, the inner land, rice fields etc). But we stayed a lot of time in Uluwatu for this perfect left. The people from Bali are really friendly and peaceful. The nightlife in Kuta was great too. A really nice experience and I want to be there again” by Hadrien Ballion

Jeje Brasset surfing around the Pacific Ocean


Jeje Brasset, our french team rider is now on his dreamed surftrip. He’s travelling five months to surf the best spots in the Pacific. Fuckin lucky guy. He leaves us his first impressions:
" I am in a five month free surftrip around Pacific Ocean with two of my best friends, going first to Indonesia. We already have been to G-land and Lakey Peak in Sumbawa, scoring pumping wave without crowd.


 In a few weeks we are going to Australia to catch up with two of our best friends, Antoine Cardonnet and Thibault Dussarat.
After Oz we will fly all the way to Tahiti and spend one month in this paradise island, then we'll go to California and will cruise down to Mexico. 
I will then end this trip in Hawaii with the Bolt Team.




We all three had a strong working time this summer to go on this adventure, it’s a dream coming true, we are living what we have deep inside since we first jumped on a surfboard, going for a half year trip with your best friend; remember endless summer, it’s our time now, we are living it!!!

So the crew, I am with Tim and Makina, easiest and funniest friends I can travel with,
Tim is 23 nice looking gentleman, with his moustache, always spreading love to everybody everywhere he is going. Also he is a really famous french longboarder, number five last year at the World Longboard Tour, and he is improving his shortboard attack on indonesian waves with my boards. 

It’s so good to see him ripping the waves like this and enjoying all those feelings.



Makina is 23, strong and clever guy, he is the engineer, that’s why we call him the Machine, he is surfing better and better everyday, never afraid of how high are the waves or how shallow is the reef under his feet. Always going and always frontside, he loves trying new things,he loves spicy food but really really spicy.
So all together we have been to G-Land, Sumbawa and Bali, have spent great time with locals, have ridden fantastic waves and had times that we will never forget!!!
It’s just the beginning of our trip, buts its already an incredible journey that we are living together!!!"


Notre french  ambassadeur  Jeremy Brasset est parti avec son pote Timothée Creignoux rider les plus beaux spots de la planète.
Une halte en Indonésie (un mois quand même) et quelques tubes sur Uluwatu, ensuite nos compères se rendent en Australie afin de rencontrer Thibault Dussarat et Antoine Cardonnet. Quel programme en perspective ?
Thématique Vintage pour ce séjour Australien. Avec sa board shapée par Graham Smith (notre shaper officiel avec Craig Hollingsworth et Rory Russell), ils vont  certainement se la jouer remake de « Freeride » sur la balançoire, Jouer au cricket, ou encore course de Kangourous….
Il s’en suivra une session  « Tahitian dream » pour quelques semaines, puis La Californie. Enfin une session Photos Shooting à Hawaii est prévu au quartier général Lightning Bolt en direct de chez Rory Russell.
D’ici là nous aurons d’autres news en direct des frenchies…
