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...
