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...

STORM

Snowboards - Boards - Men - Freeride - Freeride series -

A smoother version of the freeride-with-style Jeremy Jones signature model.

The exact same shape as the Jones but with no carbon or Kevlar and no Torsion Box to make it smoother. Designed for the 10+ days riders ready to challenge their skills and fueled with Jeremy’s own field experience.

Graphic story (words by Craig Melchiano)
We really started to take some risks and illustrate a problem with the environment affecting the mountains of Alaska. The illustration of a mountain made of oil barrels with Uncle Sam on the top cowering under the American flag with Eagles coming to take back their mountain was also illustrated by Jon Wayshak. Technically the board was handled very much the same way, yet the concept was much more "in your face". It's one of my favorite boards that I have designed.
