Growing up by the sea in Leucate, southern France, the beach has always been Sam Esteve’s playground. Born into a champion family who managed a windsurfing school permitted him to discover his passion for outdoor sports really early.

Where he is based, there is plenty of wind so at every opportunity he wants to be on the sea. He made this possible by collecting masses of phone numbers from fellow surfers so he always managed to get a lift to the Spots.
