Questions for Aurélien
You describe yourself as a "try-everything" gliding sports enthusiast?
Yes, indeed. Whether it's kitesurfing or electric surfing, as long as it rides, I'm interested! Combining my passion with something new like electric skateboarding is a no-brainer for me.
Did gliding sports help you in the Koh-Lanta adventure?
Practising a gliding sport undeniably improves balance, a major asset for certain challenges. Being a good swimmer is also essential. Yes, gliding sports gave me an advantage. I even discovered that Denis Brogniart is a big kitesurfing fan – we rode on the same spots in Mauritius!
More of a seaside longboard or all-terrain rider?
The riding sensation, the carving you find in all-terrain, that's really what I love. Even if I'm never against a family outing on cycle paths.
What gliding activities have you done?
Skiing and snowboarding since childhood, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, OneWheel, Monoski... I'm also the ambassador in France for RADINN, which sells the most powerful electric Jetsurf on the market. A versatile profile: I'm not excellent anywhere but decent everywhere!
Why did you choose Evo-Spirit?
I know that in France we are capable of great innovations. It was important for me to contact a French company sharing my values. Passionate gliding enthusiasts who seek to offer the purest sensations to their users.
What sensations do you expect from the Switcher HP?
I think hybrid models, equally at home on all-terrain and tarmac, represent the future of the sport. I love the freedom of carving and I hope to find that with the Switcher HP.
