Question- When did you begin windsurfing? Where?
Antoine- I started sailing at the age of 9 with my uncle who had been windsurfing a long time. The very fisrt time I tried windsurfing was at the Grand Cul de Sac Lagoon in St Barthelemy, 200m from my home! Since that day I spend my all days enjoying my windsurfing and racing all over the world.

J'ai commencé la voile à l'âge de 9 ans grâce à mon oncle qui en fait depuis très longtemps. C'est sur le lagon de grand cul de sac à Saint-barthélemy situé à 200 mètres de chez moi que j'ai mis le premier pied sur une planche à voile. Depuis ce jour là, je passe mes journées à naviguer et maintenant je prends beaucoup de plaisir à faire des compétitions partout dans le monde.


Q- Describe one of your perfect windsurfing days.
Antoine- The HIHO 2000, to tour around the Virgin Islands, everydays racing between the islands, into these huge lagoons and beautiful views….

La HIHO en 2000, c'est le tour des îles vierges. Tous les jours, des courses entre les iles sur des immenses lagons avec des paysages magnifiques.


Q- What was your most memorable windsurfing competition?
Antoine- My best windsurfing day was for my first French Championship title, June 2001

Mon meilleur jour en windsurf, ça a été mon premier titre de champion de france jeune en 2001.


Q- What are your plans for 2009?
Antoine-
  - TOP 20 PWA
  - TOP 15 mondial Formula
  - TOP 15 Europe Formula
  - Champion de France longue distance
