  • Summer ITW of Xavier De le Rue - PART I 2008-06-24

    Xavier has now finished the season, he's going to have a sporty nice summer. Questions and answers to a freerider:

    Rossignol: After a really fat season, what are you going to do this summer? Any plans?:
    Xavier De le Rue: At first this summer, I will stay and rest at home a little bit in the Pyrenees, to spend time with my wife and my daughter. I will have surf sessions in Biarritz and I will also do rock climbing. This summer will be the ocassion to have a small surgical operation to take some old screws off my shoulder ! Then I will travel, first in Argentina where I've got a photoshoot, then in Australia for holydays. I've also won the prize of the "Oxbow back to powder" contest which is a trip to Hawaii with the legender pro surfer Laird Hamilton ! For end october, I will go to Antartica for two weeks, where I will go on board from Ushuaïa. Activities planned are free rando, snowboard and kitesurf.

    R: You talk about rock climbing and kitesurf, is there more sports that you practise during summer?:
    X: A part from  rock climbing and kitesurfing, I do mountaineering, surfing and also lot of biking.


    Part II coming soon...

    Snowboard - Boards - Men - Freeride - Freeride series -

    The most versatile, mind-blowing, all mountain-all condition freestyle-inspired freeride board on the market.

    From twin profiles with directional shapes and soft tails, all the way up to super long tips with very short tails, this quiver of one was designed by Jeremy for the 40+ days rider whose talent is only limited by vision.

    Graphic story (words by Craig Melchiano)
    The idea behind this board is the environment Jeremy lives in, from the ocean through the redwoods to the tops of the mountains.
    I chose graphic novel (comic book) illustrator Jon Wayshak to execute the concept and help give it more of an edge and eshew any "tree hugging hippy" conotations. Caring for and respecting the environment is not solely a "hippy" mentality, it is something we all must be aware of. We wanted to keep this graphic readable hence the use of black and white colors to show the level of detail in the illustration and to clearly tell the story. Then we went a step further and had Jeremy handwrite quotes that we put in a matte varnish layer.
