The same goes for the numerous readers who, in the flavor of this presentation of surfing, become the indirect guarantors of its memory. Surfer's Journal is a family publishing company, based in San Clemente, California.

Mathieu Crépel discovered snowboarding at the age of 6 in La Mongie in the Pyrenees. It was during a trip to Greenland that the young boy realized that he wanted to make it his profession. At the age of 18, he won the French snowboarding championships and two years later, he became the winner of the world halfpipe circuit.
The ocean and the mountains are for him an inseparable pair. Since he was young, he has traveled with the seasons, following the cycle of the water, looking for snow in the winter and waves in the summer. He joined the professional snowboarding world after a trip to Greenland at the age of 10 with some of the best snowboarders of the time. At first, he turned to competition, first on the national and then on the world circuits, travelling the world in search of medals. 4 world titles (2005, 2006, 2007 x2), 2 participations in the Olympic Games (Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010), a silver medal in the X-Games (2010) have more than fulfilled his objectives. Magnificent moments and beautiful encounters but he realizes that going to the same places, from hotel to hotel, and from resort to resort is finally rather reductive whereas the trip offers infinite possibilities of discovery...
He is the most successful French freestyle snowboarder and is considered one of the most versatile riders in the world. He has known surfing since his youth. What started out as a simple passion, a way to recharge his batteries between snowboarding competitions, has now become an inseparable part of his lifestyle.
He is now challenging himself to combine his two main passions for snowboarding and surfing, which makes him a "waterman" with a unique profile in the world.
"I also want to share and exchange my experience and learn from others. Surfing and snowboarding are vital for me, they allow me to be close to nature and have taught me its fragility, it makes me want to go on an adventure, far from the usual comfort, and to constantly challenge myself.
That's why he embarked on a unique quest that takes him around the world in search of the most beautiful mountains and the most beautiful waves for an unprecedented challenge.

En présentant les origines du surf dans la migration polynésienne à travers l’océan Pacifique, Gibus de Soultrait montrera, à travers des points marquant de l’histoire du surf, comment l’idée de résistance est également constitutive de la culture surf.
Le développement important des puresplayers internet, et du premier d'entre-eux, et le poids grandissant des ventes directes aux consommateurs des marques via le web et les magasins, changent l'équation économique pour les magasins multimarques multisports et monosport.

Dans une industrie de la glisse en perpétuel changement, le métier de « rider » a énormément évolué. Pour continuer à pouvoir vivre de mes passions, il a fallu, grâce à mon profil de rider touche-à-tout et curieux, que je m’adapte et que je cherche sans cesse de nouveaux challenges. A travers mon histoire et mes expériences, nous allons aborder différents thèmes pour comprendre qu’une remise en question permanente est indispensable pour durer et se renouveler.
L’hypnose permet de développer les potentiels : concentration, mémoire, énergie, stratégie, gestion du stress et de combattre la douleur.
Mais jusqu’à quelles limites ?
Les consommateurs et les marques évoluent dans un environnement en constante mutation. Les sociétés et les cultures évoluent constamment. Les nouvelles technologies et les nouveaux canaux de communication accélèrent ces changements. Comment anticiper et rester pertinent pour les consommateurs dans ce contexte ? Comment rester une icône à travers le temps ?
A une heure où les modes, les outils et canaux de communication, les moyens d'informations et les attentes évoluent très rapidement, il nous a paru clé de faire une photographie détaillée pour comprendre le lien entre la population et notre industrie de l'action sports. Julien Vivier présentera un aperçu de l'étude "Fans d'action sports : qui sont-ils ?" afin de mieux comprendre nos cibles et la façon dont ils consomment nos marques.
