I had a spontaneous photo shoot with the local skim crew of Hossegor[less]... read more »[/less].[more] Got a really friendly and warm welcome when I turned up with my skimboard at the beach and they invited me to skim with them. Thank you guys, I really appreciate it but I also wanted to catch the moment to take some photos. Besides, I'm a complete n00b at wave skimming and didn't want to make a complete fool of myself :) I finally got to try a few runs. It's even harder than it looks! I think I'll stick to skimming with my kite and occasionally the flats when I'm out of wind. It's still great inspiration to see your style and technique and I'm trying to incorporate into my kiteskimming.

Here are the best of the photos and there are a few more in the high resolution zip file. They are yours to use as you like but I'll be happy if you give creds to Yann Hervy and link to gubbsurf.se . Grab it now because it will only be available for a few weeks. Please drop a line in the comments so I know when you got them. I haven't had a look at the video footage yet but I will get to it.
