Coming directly from Dakhla, he didn’t make it very hard for us to choose the next subject for our Up Close & Personal series.
…spending our days waiting for the wind next to a healthy spread of pro riders we clearly had a lot of inspiration and we are nice enough to share some of it with you in the form of the super cute Val Garat.
Team rider for Best, he is flying the French flag at the world championships, waiting patiently for his heats should the wind decide to blow.
He is also an ambassador for the brand tshOtsh and supported by Pro Limit.
…even if we obviously prefer to see him in a pair of boardshorts than a 5/4 wetsuits.
2x vice european vice champion and junior French champion in 2012 he also placed 4th in the KTE (Kitesurf Tour Europe) in 2013.
