Lost in the Swell, à la découverte de vagues jamais surfées | Ewen Le Goff | TEDxUBO


good evening so tonight I ‘m going to you

present

lost in the swell so the only one is

what is it that is an asso and its

three friends it’s me will be enormously

so fate you can see I’m

all alone so he apologizes they can

not be here tonight so we’re three

childhood buddies

so me and ronan know each other since

sixth since we were 12 years old

did a moment 23 years and with noo so

it’s the little name of aurelien

knows for fifteen years and so we’re going

to be common passion the surf so less

nothing one is the two surfers of the

tape and coming back to him and the cameraman

donkey surf a little too but during

our journeys there is more art the

camera and so

the first time we wanted to

cut a bit of all this modern world

to try to see if we could bind

our passion surfing a way of life

more respectful of the environment and

so we went to try to survive

to surf on a desert island

so we went in gold so daisy

the time we had as a partner

cannabis so basically they have us

given 3000 euros to go there

so that allowed us to pay the

plane tickets and then we took

two hens so clara morgane for

the happy one took ten kilograms of rice 40

kg and shotguns to go

chasing fish so the idea was

to be autonomous and to see if we

could stay 40 days out of 7 so he

basically we contacted a water peach

Indonesians who dropped us off

on the island and he was told to come back

we look for carouge years later so

at the time we are really not

budget you do not have phone

satellite we have no way of

communication and basically it was not

wrong but it’s still not very

well spent so we had good

waves and in fact it rained a lot and

so we have gotten worse we have

at the end of the more to eat we lost

clara morgane is the cherry on the

cake we had more fire so all

our bricks are dead and so with a little

pork has never been able to redo and

fortunately a storm has arrived

and Indonesian fishermen came

take refuge on the island and so we

swapped everything we had for

to be able to go back once

back home you see a little galley there

raining and everyone is trying to do the best

that they could but with our our

talents of townsmen we have not been

far, but on the other hand once

went back so ronan was busy at

make a movie

so we called disillusionment so the

little yellow words and that we broadcast

free as a web series

on the Internet

so that’s pretty much a market so we

is not bad of my return and following

so that allowed us to dymagym

of another

another journey and therefore of power

go see other partners and have

a little more budget to leave

so basically on the island it was good we

a lot of trouble at the level of the less

of transportation by being car so

we realized that to access

to surfed waves the ideal without

stop going there by boat

so for that we wanted to bring a

environmental aspect so who

is called eco-design does that

was already several years that I

use eco-designed boards

what knows when design

the idea is to replace the

materials from oil by

natural materials so in

the occurrence surfboards it’s

made with fiberglass from the

resin and polystyrene foam

so is there our boards are whose

fiber it is flax fiber with a

part of the resin that is bio

sourced so he made a matter

natural and so we wanted to bring this

side there to our boat is so for

so we first thought about it

which stick model wanted to take

so we opted for a small boat

with a weak fief force of water it is

to say we could really go to

closer to the surf spots without

touch the pebbles so to gird

Antoine Audet met so right

who is the director of the shipyard

tri cat and we were also seeing

Roland Daydain who on the left who is a

recognized browser so he won

twice the road of rum and that is

especially very influential a very

involved forgiveness in all that is

precisely environment the parts

eco-design and so with his

kairos company that suddenly

specialized in it and

gave us a boat called

goualade so basically it was the

first eco-designed trimaran of the genre

so we prayed the boat model

so trick at classic and so roland

daydain brought all the eco part

design

the idea is the same you can see

there so all parties maru actually

it is the flax fiber that appears and

so all the fiberglass is

replaced by flax fiber and

boat participle is also actually

made of cork

so before we when we registered

as soon as we were to see Roland DayDain

it was to go to Solomon Islands

so always looking for a wave

a spell made at the meeting of

populations

and when he asked us what was

our experience in navigation we have him

said it was not very big so

basically run in him already had a little

sailed on his parents’ boat

I had been a bit optimistic but

never came out of the harbor

brest and for aurelian he had

never set foot on a sailboat

the dressmaker to look great

diesel and 10 for guys that would be

good to make you a little sailor

is first to go around the

bretagne before going to the other end

of the world so that’s what we did

made for brittany for two months

so we will test the boat a little

did seafoot found that

aurélien not seasick it

fell very well and then we went

put the boat in a container and we

went to the Solomon Islands whose

islands salomon ti geography lesson

it’s in the Pacific it’s the east of

australia

I was above papua

new guinea and so we decided

to go to that place for

precisely the potential of waves to

discover and so we left during

three months so we got the boat

we offered total freedom

so we really had you can

to really go we wanted according to others

lives according to the weather according to the potential

good jokes to always find

in an idea of ​​autonomy so

food also at level 2

of our batteries so we had a

solar panel on the boat and we

it allows your license to travel

for three months across the islands

of discovered waves what can

call perfect for us so surf

beautiful waves you do not see in front

tubes can go both ways

so that was really the ideal of

it was really idyllic

we will also share moments

nautical and artistic with children

villages and so after that we

we had we went back to France

we also realized another

webseries so this time it was

called lost the swell and so it’s a

earlier also worked well and

our desire to go back and is that more

great because when we come back from this

kind of adventures well we really take

taste for the unknown and for discovery

and it’s true that when we enter

our comfort and ben we appreciate the

comfort we appreciate the shower

the fridge filled etc

but there is always a lack a lack

of adventurous so once we put the

foot in it’s gone so we’re going

think we wanted to do something

something different so leave again

differently forever so

look for waves

a surf m is accessible with a

transport subscription as the boat

So that’s why we opted for

bicycles whose bikes these bikes do not

was not any bike these are

bike facs you can see that

the tires are big enough so

the interest is to be able to ride on

soft soils like snow

sand and so the idea was to

to have waves with

we must follow

the quota the beach and so of

to be able to discover new waves

potential sees in a first time one

is gone one elongated and the whole coast

aquitaine so first to test our

calves our ideas to see what

was going and what was wrong and all

just see if it works so is

since we always have a notion

of food and energy autonomy

Well, we have a lot of material to

lugging so that’s why we have

made our hands we built ourselves

remarks we improved to have seen

who exist and then we decided

to go to Gabon so the Gabon is

a small safe country in central africa

and that has a 405 code portion 50 km

who was exploring where Gabon is one of

last one of the last countries where there are

primary coastal forests of the

planet and so by that aspect there

that there were all the ingredients

were gathered to find good

waves and that the adventurer is at the rendezvous

So you know that’s the sign

solar we had on our boat

we put on the ronan trailer

so Ronan is in charge of filming

but also to recharge all

batteries whether devices

pictures there this time we had a

drone also our flashlights and

this is how the satellite phone

because there had been a phone

his head to give news

and also for the security side

so before leaving alone

we wanted to have some advice from

wise people so we went

closer to the pnc the national agency

national parks of gabon is roughly

we met this eco guards who

is called alice and who have parts

for ten days in total immersion

in the forest so he has us during

these ten days taught him

animal behavior things

to do or to find them

water from food etc

it was really important for

us before leaving alone to the adventurous

so we met animals so

there for example it was a small

approach whales so this is the

humpback whale season pass

in front of the coast

so we wanted to go you want to go

to rub them so there for the blow she

was a little close to me I do not have the

time to be scared but after that I

I’m quickly back on the boat then

I am also at the side of

elephants including elephants from

forest who have warm blood whose which

are potentially very dangerous

because we do not hear them in the

forest and he sees not much so

they are pretty loath that loads everything

which also moves side by side with

hippopotami buffaloes and

crocodiles so that’s a footprint

crocodile who I’m made of 44 and

half so that lets you imagine the

size of the beast and also of the

gorilla so it was really a

unique place in the world where all these

animals there meet on the beach and

so we had to do that

so in general we made a big fire

from 4 pm of the aprem story to be

sure not to be bothered once

in the water it was there was

also of the world so no surfing

but many fish also

sharks so not just any shark

Bulldog sharks which caused the

worst for surfers we will try to

put all the chances of our

side with different systems

whole rocha so for example the combi

gwen-ha-du there so it’s not for

remember gwen-ha-duke but it’s for

remember the coral snake as

most venomous snakes of the

planet and apparently the sharks

would be afraid of them series gold there we

also had small species

actually shown it’s bracelets

it’s magnets that would disrupt

shark electro receivers we have

could

except that beautiful waves it was in

top we discovered five surf spots

some of whom really have a ring world

we did a lot of cycling a lot

too much for our taste because we

was there for surfing

so some day we rolled over

eight o’clock it was really

stressful

we were on the laterite we

also crossed portions of

forest while avoiding the

elephants so that was also

quite tense is pretty physical and the

beach that’s the 450 km of beach

has traveled them now know them

well where the ideal was to ride to

low tide or the sand was over

hard and but good funds is not the

choice so with my role anyway at

high tide and it was really very

physical

here you can see the little nap

from nono around 16h and

So that’s it, it’s going to be reached

will surf we will find so it was

really grail the cherry on the

cake is going that rolls out on the

cost of one kilometer it was ultra

wild you can see the lagoon at

left who camped there upstairs

there in the savannah that burned Aurelian

without doing it on purpose I will invite you to

see the following web series and therefore

So here we come back

France last year but that’s

it was july august september

last year we broadcast the

episodes form of web series we have

also organized

previews so we did a

tour of previews or the

first it was in brest obviously

so we did that with quartz there was

1500 people

it was really impressive to see

that so many people were motivated

see our holiday movies well and

then we made France turn

we went from Bordeaux to Paris

cherbourg saint malo and I will pass you

and since then we’ve just come back from

the island of the meeting so we were

invited to the adventurous film festival

of the meeting that we have to win and

so that’s all to tell you that

if you have a dream

do not hesitate go to the end and

it’s all about getting there

will surely bring beautiful things

in your life anyway for us that

was the case here thank you

[Applause]
