Air and Style and Avoriaz

Posted on December 15 2009 at 02:19am by aflore

It was pretty cool to be at the Air and Style and as it has been a bit of a frustration not to see girls riding at this event, this year I decided to make a petition hoping to see girls next year..

So I ended up running around with it and it was great to see all the positive feedback from the public and the industry.. thanks to all of those who signed it :)

Billabong shoot new zealand

Posted on September 30 2009 at 06:51am by aflore

Going to cold winter in the middle of the summer feels always funny.. I always forget half of my gear, and get half sick.. this time we all got sick at some point.. luckily the Fifa Xbox game kept all of us happy and alive through the down days. The house was quite full and I was staying in an RV through the whole trip.. and most of you already know it is my favorite!

Billabong Girls Days!

Posted on July 09 2009 at 09:34pm by aflore

We just had a fantastic weekend in Seignosse, France at the Billabong Girls Days. 150 girls came to share the weekend surfing and skateboarding. Kealla Kennelly, Lea Brassy and I came to share our experiences with these girls and I have to say it was much more a big party weekend on the beach than anything else!

we got balls soccer tournament

Posted on July 02 2009 at 12:08am by aflore


Last week most of the european snowboarders met in Biarritz for the ”We’ve Got Balls” soccer tournament. We are talking about a football World Cup for Snowboarders. The winners received €1000 to give to a charity of their choice. The concept is really fun, each country builds a team of snowboarders and they all play against each other: Switzerland, France, Spain, England, Austrians and Locals all came to play in the south west of France.

MBM Session Austria

Posted on April 18 2009 at 08:30am by aflore

I love it when I get to go back to Europe and shoot with euro snowboarders, even more when I get to travel with my good friend Vanessa Andrieux. I showed up in Bad Gastein Austria for the MBM session (Snowboarder Monster Backside Magazine, German mag). The concept of the week is that about 10+ photographers show up with some riders and each crew tries to get better photos then the others, on the same days and on the same mountain.

Japanese tempura

I jumped in the plane with no idea what to expect from the snow condition in Japan this year, where i was going exactly and whom with.. all i knew was that it was dumping more then ever in europe and that i was truly looking forward to eating veggie tempura!!

Once in sapporo's airport i met my english riding mates for this trip, Scott Mc Morris, Colum Mytton, Josh Wolf and Whiteline's Editor Ed Blomfield.

After an hectic pre season I was ready and excited to leave to Austria with my friend Vanessa Andrieux. We go there every year to find good snow condition, I was all packed, board and bags in my trunk and as i was driving back from Barcelona it started dumping everywhere, and by the time i was in Switzerland my home mountains were covered by a good 60cm of fresh snow !

Busy Pre Season

Hello everyone,
It has been snowing everywhere in Europe and I have just been traveling like a mad woman, I went to les 2alpes where I received the Award of the best French international rider (with both male and female riders) I guess they gave me that just because they still don’t know that I am French.. for those of you who didn’t know it yet, I have 3 passports, I am French, I am swiss, and I am Liechtensteinerin.. That’s a mini country between Austria and Switzerland..

aussie awesome!!

Hey Mate!! I was at the Oakley Style Wars in Fallscreek Australia last week.. I had tons of Fun there! great parties at the Silver Ski Lodge with the whole Epic crew! I got to see my old friend PC.. ride some runs in the gumtrees, watch Travis’ movie That’s it That’s all.. I was hosting the contest for the web.. which was kind of funny.. then we improvised a trip to Torquay on the way down and went surfing, the water was freezing cold, but it was fun to catch a couple waves..


After the surfing, I joined the 2 Kristis ( Leskinen skier, and KT the Oakley marketing girl in Australia). We flew Sydney, ate some kanguru, did a couple PR stuff there with Alpha magazine and Sports Tonight Australia. I pet a koala and flew to New Zealand.. we spent the first day in Oakland for some more interviews for Sunrise (TV), Curl magazine, Sports Tonight NZ (TV), couple radio stations, and last but not least, we got on the Sports Cafe show hosted by some of the All Blacks (NZ national heroes).. they started asking us some tricky questions when a streaker jumped out of the public and shaked it right before my eyes on live national TV!! I was quite stoked to be there when that happened

anyways got to Queentsown the next day for the Oakley Chicks day out! which took place in Snowpark with another 50 girls.. the sun was shining and the park was super good, we shred together all day and went for a bootie shake at the subculture bar where our friend RIA was djing.. she killed it! she played tons of funk, which i love.. and now I m tired and ready to go back to Euroland!
