  • 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...

    Last summer hero-hucker John Jackson
    joined Rossignol and started working with our
    best board designers from the NW and
    Europe to come up with his new badass shape.
    His brother Eric rides for Lib-Tech and let
    John try out his Magne-Traction sidecut which
    John said ‘damn’ and after a few phone calls
    we were able to license what is arguably the
    most innovative technology put into a board
    in the last 10 years. The MT version is a bit
    narrower and the standard version is a
    mid-wide. Matt French did the graphics so get
    ready to see this (bill)board a ton in Standard
    Films and all the mags. • STYLE: Directional Twin with power tail
