Carine Camboulives, Manu Bouvet and Ian Alldredge are professional ocean athletes who have been traveling the world for the last 15 years in search for perfect waves. Their appetite for uncrowded surf matches their desire to experience new culture, reach remote territories and connect with people. In the “Explore South Pacific” webisodes we share their experience in the Tuamotu Islands in French Polynesia. Aboard the around the world vessel, Sauvage, we dive into the daily life of such an expedition. From world class surf discoveries to travel hassle, the unique beauty of these images will get the travel bug inside you instantly, so go get your backpack and board bag ready.

Episode 1: IN TROUBLE IN PARADISE
“It is not an adventure until something goes wrong” says the old saying. The expedition is about to collapse before it even starts!

Episode 2: THE QUEST
Everyone adjusts to life onboard. The discovery of the Tuamotu and the first sessions reveal breathtaking landscapes…and everyone’s character.

Episode 3: THE PAY BACK
“It is about the journey not the destination”. No matter how perfect is the wave their score, the old saying says it all.

Ian Alldredge wears Kaenon Gauge polarized sunglasses.

Longtime Olympic French Windsurfer, Julien Bontemps is showing the world he’s not done yet, in fact, he’s just hitting his stride. Bontemps won the final World Championship at Cadiz, Spain, in the Olympic Windsurfer (RSX Class) before this summer’s London Olympic Games.

Sailing in Hard Kore Black G12, Julien dominated the very windy championship, marking his first world title in over a dozen tries.

Kiwi Olympian JP Tobin finished 3rd, also wearing Hard Kore, establishing this longtime champion as a serious podium threat in London.

British Bronze Medalist at Beijing, and podium favorite in London, Bryony Shaw, wearing Soft Kore Pearl White C12, took fourth on the women’s side.

“As a former Professional Windsurfer, nothing makes me more proud to introduce a movie like this. It has been a long time since I have seen a windsurfing movie that left me wanting more. The photography, locations, music, conditions and the pro windsurfers make this nothing short of 5 stars. Check out the trailer to ‘Minds Wide Open’ featuring Kaenon sponsored rider Marcilio Browne, who wears Burny and Gauge. What these talented youth can do will blow your mind. Go to: www.mindswideopenmovie.com for more details about the movie.”

Great food, beautiful girls and some fun windsurfing in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Lago di Garda, or Lake Garda. It can’t be all bad living there this time of year.

Matt Pritchard and a few of the Maui pro windsurfers came over to California for a week of motocross. Unfortunately Matt came up short on a jump. He had a compound fracture on his right leg and shattered his left leg into over 90 pieces. Here he is wearing Arlo Matte Black G12 sunglasses in between surgeries.

Hi Everyone,

Robby Swift on Maui scored some good conditions. Sometimes in the winter the wind blows from the opposite direction of the trade winds. This creates insane port tack windsurfing. When it comes to sunglasses Robby wears Lewi Black G12. Check out this 3 minute video showing some insane wave sailing, well worth the watch Robby Swift Insane Wave Sailing
