In a new regular feature for HUCKmagazine.com, we ask the great, the good and the down right talented about the things that mean the most to them.
Already riding high in the TTR World Tour rankings with a win in the slopestyle at the O'Neill Evolution, we catch up with the 18-year-old French Canadian wünderkind ahead of his appearance at the Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck on next month to find out what makes him tick.
What?
My Signature Jacket with O'Neill. It's my style and it has my name on it! When I was younger, it was my dream to have something with my name on it and to have this jacket it's mean a lot to me.
Where?
New Zealand is my favourite place for snowboarding because it's so far away and when you get there it's like a different world. The park there at SnowPark NZ is great. You can do a quick lap so it's perfect for practising new trick. The scenery is beautiful too.
When?
When I'm trying to get a shot on a street rail or a kicker and, after couple hours of trying, you think you'll never get it. To finally land it is the best feeling ever.
Who?
My family. They are always there to support me and to give me advice. I'm lucky to have good parents and be where I am right now.
Why?
Snowboarding is my passion. When I wake up everyday to go snowboarding, I don't feel like I'm going work but just have fun learning new stuff on my board.
