ANTOINE D.

Today residing in Sydney, he is nevertheless from the north of France, but is also a child of the Arcachon basin, especially attached to an ocean, the Atlantic.

His passion for sailing grew quickly. Family escapes on catamarans in the Atlantic, swimming in white water and a passion for surfing since childhood. The ocean, the Atlantic, sailing, have become a life credo, to the point of becoming a naval architect.

Skipper to cross, the Atlantic, the Antilles, the Azores, the sea is an escape, sometimes a confrontation with oneself, a
life lesson about one's mental and physical abilities.

Diving and freediving are also part of his life. Feel closer to marine life.

For Antoine, it is also a response to the extreme pollution in development. Plastic floating, even in the middle of the Atlantic. “we encounter so much plastic of all kinds floating there, I became deeply aware of the urgent challenge of cleaning up our oceans and fighting for this immensity in danger. My attention is daily.”

With his surfing or sailing friends, Antoine has this little credo: “a piece of trash, a smile, when one of us picks it up on the beach or at sea”. They try to pass the message on to everyone.
