Chanet

It’s hard to say what Justin loves most: surfing or eating pizza.

Born in Paris, he discovered the sport thanks to many family holidays at his grandparents’ house in Hossegor. Between school and then eventually working in sound design for advertising, he could only surf during his vacations from the age of 7 until 28.

Missing the waves too much, he finally said bye to the French capital to move to the Vendée region. Now working as a surf instructor, he also likes to devour pizza and spend time with his family, teaching his daughter to surf.

STAY A PIZZA LOVER.
