Julien, F-ONE Surf Foil & Wing Ambassador

My name is Julien, born in 1985 and based in Vendée. I've been riding for over 30 years, having tried almost every watersports discipline.

I started with wave-ski, then moved on to surf, longboard, and outrigger canoe, before discovering kitesurf (surf, twin-tip, and foil). Today, what I'm most passionate about is surf foil and wing foil, which I've been practicing since the beginning of the discipline. I still manage to get in some "classic" surf sessions when the conditions are right.

Foil offers a unique sensation: infinite glide, silence, freedom, new lines on the waves... and above all, a mindset focused on sharing.

I mainly ride between Les Sables-d’Olonne and La Tranche-sur-Mer, sometimes with a few freelance projects on the side.

Here's the gear I use depending on the conditions:
