On March 22nd, Alex Caizergues cross the channel between St Barthelemy and St Marteen Islands, French Caribbean, 30 km in 44minutes and 5 seconds. The Crossing goal was to raise awereness for the Blue Marine Foundation (bluemarinefoundation.com) works and the attempt has been officially timed by Zenith Watches (zenithwatches.com).
We would like to thank our partners, Zenith Watches, le Sereno Hotel (lesereno.com/), F One kiteboarding (f-onekites.com/), Top Loc St Barth (top-loc.com/), and also Enguerrand from St Barths Kite School (saintbarthkite.com/).

The basic frontside off the lip is every rider’s introduction to riding a wave with a kite. A good top turn involves a lot of timing between your kite, your board position, and the wave and it can take some time to pull it all together.

Before leaving, Madagascar was just a wave and some wind. But once in Lavanono, there is much more than that, we discovered an extraordinary people: the Antandroy, the people of the thorns.
We shared our two worlds: we surfed on extreme and beautiful spots, and tried to introduce them to our passion; on the other hand, they opened the doors of their village, their customs, their way of life. Nobody comes back from Lavanono untouched, inevitably we all leave a small piece of our heart.

Antandroy, more than a kite trip, a timeless journey.

The Antandroy (or Tandroy) are a traditionally nomadic ethnic group of Madagascar inhabiting the arid southern part of the island around Ambovombe. Their name means “people of the thorns” in reference to the spiny thickets of endemic plants that characterize the southwestern region of Madagascar
