Yan

37yrs, French

Languages: French, Spanish, English, Indonesian

He has been playing in the snow and sea from a young age- skipping school to hit the slopes or skate park, living on his family's yacht and hitting the surf whenever he could create the chance. As a sponsored competitive free-rider skier he pursued mountain adventures and with that came a love for photography and film to capture the epic moments of skill in the sport he loved. Naturally a kid like this became ski and snowboard instructor and alpinist spending over 10 seasons working in the snow in Switzerland and Argentina preferring to coach more off- piste free ride style or freestyle on kickers or features of course with camera in hand. He also worked the mountain as a high ropes technician maintaining the natural risks of landscapes

But it doesn't snow all year so in the sunshine he found surfing as just an intense passion- also a surf instructor he has traveled to work in surf camps as instructor/photographer and manager in places like Canary Islands, Sumatra and Sri Lanka. Somehow among all that he followed sailing opportunities, became a RYA Day Skipper and crossed the Atlantic ocean twice by sail and since meeting Liz has clocked nearly 20,000nm in under 2yrs doing yacht deliveries around Asia and Australia.
