Our favourite Surf family from Hossegor. Mathiue the coffee roaster and father, Mother Dr. Elodie and 15 years old ripper Leon. And there annual Mentawai Surf Family Trip.
2024 was the Ducros family's third trip to ALAIA. Normally they visit Early season in February, for this year they decided to visit us in April.
Their first trip to Alaia was right before there craziness of the pandemic, Leon was still small and not really into surfing yet.
Now, he is 15 years old, and rips like his father and has all the style of his mother! (check shots of his turn below)
Another thing we love to talk with them is defiantly about "surf boards"
This family's surfboard collections are always cool. Every year they bring something new and interesting. Longboard, Mid-Length Single, Twin, Shortboards. They ride basically everything that feels fun to ride!
Elo has such a smooth style.
Leon, every visit it's great to see his progression. Now at 15 he is ripping!
Mathieu is the founder and Coffee Roaster at his coffee brand and cafe VOLT in Hossegor, France
Elodie is so kind, funny and style icon.
Mathieu just crusin'. He is so chill, and humble.
His surfing improved so much in a year. Can't wait to watch his surfing on his next visit.
