MERCI de sauver nos océans!

PleinSurf souhaite le bienvenue à Igor Goni, le nouveau collaborateur anglophone pour notre blog. Igor est un habitué à Habitat 67. Il est reconnu pour sa joie de vivre, ses connaissances en surf et son talent. Il adore partager son savoir-faire et il est définitivement un surfer qui met les surftrips en priorités. Originaire du Vénézuela, Igor habite maintenant à Montréal et surf aussi souvent que possible à Habitat 67 et aussi souvent qu’il le peut sur les côtes du Maine et du New-Hampshire aux États-Unis.

PleinSurf désire partager les nouvelles du surf au Québec également à la communauté grandissante de surfers anglophones à Montréal. Igor sera donc notre premier correspondant anglophone dans l’équipe de PleinSurf.

Here’s Igor’s bio that you can also find on the “équipe” page:

Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela I started surfing at 16 through a friend (we were 3 closed friends always going together) and I have been surfing ever since. Surfing started as a mere sport but soon took me in and changed my life. Starting at such age we used to go with parents on Sundays as a social activity but soon,after getting the independence of the driver license (18 years old back home) and with the ability to go to the beach at will (sort of cause university came always first) it turned into a more organic experience. I remember while studying mechanical engineering in many opportunities we came across problems which solutions never came evidently. In such occasions I used to leave everything and drive 2 hours to the beach (in the car always my beach chair, a towel and a pair of shorts) just to go there and clear my head and 95% of the times the solution will come while seating in the line-up looking at the horizon. Avid surfer back home I surfed most of the beaches on the Venezuelan coast, once in Hossegor France, once Mundaka and twice La Zurriola both on the Basque part of Spain, usual suspect at Maine and addict to the the wave at H67 right here at my second home…Montreal Canada.

The day I leave you guys, please burn my sorry behind and spary my ashes in the ocean.

BIENVENIDO IGOR!

Some surfers FIGHT… some other SUE. Next time you drop-in on somebody… first you’re a kook and then you might find yourself in court!
Surfing etiquette revisited by a surfer from Halifax…
(…)
“Instead of fighting — the way Crowe said disputes are normally settled — he decided to sue. He demanded $750 US for a replacement board, claiming Adams broke an unwritten rule in surfing circles by paddling into the breaking point of the wave while he was riding it.”
