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


goodnight So tonight I’ll
present
lost in the swell is therefore the only
What it is that it is an asso and
three friends is me enormously aurel
So out you can see that I am
alone so he can apologize
not be here tonight so we three
childhood friends
so me and Ronan knows from
Sixth So since we were 12 years it
been a while 23 years and therefore with nono
it is the pet name we aurélien
known for fifteen years and so we will
be shared passion therefore less surfing
no one is both the surfers
band and back him and the cameraman
donkey surf a little but also for
our trips it is more of the art
camera and so
the first time we wanted to
cut a little of everything modern world
to try to see if we could bind
our passion surfing lifestyle
more environmentally friendly and
so we went to try to survive
to surf on a deserted island
so we went in gold so daisy
then we had a partner
cannabis so basically they we
given 3,000 euros to go over there
So it allowed us to pay us
tickets and then took
two hens so clara morgane for
happy we took ten kilos of rice 40
kg and shotguns to leave
hunt fish so the idea was
to be autonomous and to see if we
could stay 40 days 7 so he
basically we contacted a fish in water
Indonesian who dropped us
on the island and was told to return
we look carouge years later so
at the time there is really no
budget you do not have phone
satellite we have no way of
communication and basically it was not
bad but it’s still not very
gone well so we had good
waves and in fact it rained a lot and
so we are in ps it got worse
at the end of the room was lost
Clara Morgane is the icing on the
cake had more fire so all
our bricks is dead and so with a little
Pork has never managed to rebuild and
Fortunately, a storm arrived
and Indonesian fishermen came
take refuge on the island and so we them
swapped everything we had to
able to return to earth after
back you see a bit of a drag it
raining and everyone tries to do the best
they could but with our our
urban talent has not been
far but once you against
Ronan is back has been busy
make a movie
So we called so the disillusionment
small yellow words and we aired
free as a web series
on the Internet
so it pretty good so we market
not bad for my return and following
it so it allowed us to dymagym
of another
another journey and therefore can
go to other partners and have
a little over budget for start
so basically on the island it was one
no evil struggled at the least
transport being so drive
it was found that account to access
surfed waves to the ideal without
stop there by boat
So why we wanted to bring a
environmental aspect so that
called eco-design makes it
had been several years since I
serve made boards ecodesigned therefore
what knows when designing
is the idea is to replace
materials derived from petroleum by
therefore natural materials
namely surfboards is
made with glass fiber of the
resin and polystyrene foam
then, is our boards are including
fiber is flax fiber with a
part of the organic resin which is
So he sourced material
natural and so we wanted to bring this
next to our boat there is to
it was therefore initially thought
what model wanted to stick
So we opted for a small boat
with a low fee draft is
to say that we could really go
closer to the surf spots without
touch the stones so undergirding
Antoine Audet met so right
who is the director of the shipyard
cat sorting and we also see
Roland Jourdain who left that is a
browser so recognized he won
twice the rum route and is
especially influential a
forgiveness involved in everything
precisely environmental parties
eco-design and therefore with his
kairos business which suddenly has
specializing in there and
gave us a boat called
Goualade so basically it was the
first eco-designed trimaran gender
so we requested the model ship
So trick at classic and therefore roland
Jourdain brought all the eco part
design
the idea is the same you can see
there so all parties actually maru
it is apparent that flax fiber and
So all the fiberglass is
replaced by flax fiber and
boat involved is actually
made of cork
So before us when we registered
as soon as it was see Jourdain
it was from the solomon islands
always in search of wave
the fate of the meeting
populations
and when he asked us what
our sailing experience we had him
said it was not very large so
wholesale run on him had a little
sailed the boat from his parents
I had done a little optimistic but
was never out of the harbor
Brest and he had to aurélien
never set foot on a sailboat
Dresser watching great
diesel and 10 guys that would be
well you do some sea legs
is first to tour the
Kingdom before leaving at the other end
the world so this is what we did was
made to Brittany for two months
so we will test the boat was a little
sailor has been found
aurélien not seasick it
fell very well and then so we
put the vessel in a container and
went to the Solomon Islands which
Solomon Islands ti geography lesson
it is in the Pacific is east of
australia
I was above the Papua
New Guinea and so we decided
to go to this place there to
just waves the potential to
discover and so we went in
three months so it was us the boat
we have offered complete freedom
So we really can
really wanted to go there in other
lives according to the weather as the potential
good jokes always find
in a sense of independence so
also food at 2
our batteries so we had a
solar panel on the boat and we
it allows your travel permits
for three months through the islands
Overdraft waves that can be
So we call perfect for surfing
beautiful waves not see before
tubes can go on both sides
so it was really the ideal of
Lessard made it really was idyllic
we’ll also shared moments
Water and artistic with children
villages and so after that we
so we had it returned to France
was also carried out another
webseries so this time it was
called lost the swell and so this is a
earlier also well and
we want to leave and that is more
great because when it comes to
kind of ventured well we really takes
taste the unknown and discovering
and it is true that when entering
our comfort and well we appreciate
comfort the sofa shower is appreciated
the fridge filled etc.
but there is still a lack a lack
ventured to so once you put the
walk in it is left we will
think we wanted to do something
something different so start
differently so forever
search for waves
a m surfing is available with
subscription transport the boat
is why we opted for
bikes including bikes these bikes
was not any bike are
facs of bike you can see that
the tires are large enough so
the interest is to be able to roll on
So soft ground like snow
sand and so the idea was to
just to have the waves to
So we follow
the share the beach and so
to discover new waves
potential seen at first is
left and lengthens the whole coast
So first of Aquitaine to test our
calves ideas to see what
was going and what was wrong and everything
just see if it works is
since we still have a notion
food and energy autonomy
well then we have a lot of material
lugging so this is why we
made our hands it was built
remarks have to see it improved
that existing and then decided
So go to the Gabon Gabon is
a small safe country in Central Africa
and which has a code portion 405 50 km
that explored the Gabon where it is one of
last one of the last countries where there is
primary coastal forests
planet and thus by this aspect
it had all the ingredients
gathered to find good
waves and that ventured either appointment
there you are that’s the sign
Solar we had on our boat
we put on the trailer Ronan
So Ronan is responsible therefore to film
but also to recharge all
batteries whatsoever devices
pictures there this time we had a
Also drone our flashlights and
thus the satellite phone
because there had been a phone
his head to give news
and also for the security side
So before you go alone
we wanted to have some advice
People therefore advised it was
Close the pnc national arranged
Gabon’s national parks is big
we met this eco guards
called Alice and have parties
for ten days in total immersion
So in the forest it for us
these ten days the learned
animal behaviors things
do not do or find
water food etc
that was really important to
before we go alone ventured to
So we met the animals so
for example there was a small
approach whales so this is the
season humpback whales pass
off the coast
So we wanted to go you want to go
rub shoulders so there to blow it
was a bit close to me I am not
time to be afraid, but after that I
I soon go on the boat then
I was also alongside
including elephants elephants
forest that are warm-blooded which that
are potentially very dangerous
because we not hear in
forest and not see much so
they are fairly sucks that loads all
which also moves rubbed shoulders
hippopotamuses and buffaloes
crocodiles so it is an imprint
crocodile that I am made of 44 and
half so it let you imagine the
size of the beast and also
gorilla so it was really a
unique place in the world where all these
animals end up there on the beach and
So we had to accordingly
so usually a big fire there was
from 16h aprem history of being
sure not to be bothered again
in water that was there was
also the world so no surfing
but also a lot of fish
Sharks therefore any shark
the bull sharks which caused the
worst for surfers we will try to
put the odds of our
side with different systems
whole Rocha therefore e.g. combi
gwen ha-there’s so it’s not
remember Gwen-ha-of but for
remember the coral snake because
the most poisonous snakes in the
planet and apparently sharks
would be afraid of them or there one series
were also small cash
in fact it is shown bracelets
is magnets that disrupt the
electro receptors sharks we
could
except that it was nice waves
top was discovered five surf spots
some truly world ring
we did a lot of cycling much
too much for our taste because we are
was still there for surfing
so some day we drove more
eight hours it was really
stressful
we were on the laterite was
also through portions
Therefore forest while avoiding
elephants so it was also
rather tense is quite physical and
beach so that the 450 km of beach you
driven them now know
well when the ideal was to ride
low tide or sand was more
hard, but good money is not the
choice so my role still to
high tide and it was really
physical
Here you can see the nap
nono 16h and
So here it is the reach that
will ride we will find so it was
really the icing on the grail
cake was that will place on the
cost of one kilometer was super
wild you can see the lagoon
left who camped there upwards
there in the savannah burned aurélien
unintentionally I invite you to
see the following web series and therefore
So here we just returned to
France there last year but it
it was July of
last year we disseminate
episodes as web series was
also organized
previews so we made a
tour previews or
First it was obviously Brest
So we did that there was quartz
1500 people
it was really impressive to see
as many people were motivated
to see our holiday films
then was rotated the France
we went from Paris to Bordeaux
Cherbourg St Malo and I pass by you
and from there it just cost
the island so we were meeting
invited to the film festival ventured
the meeting and we must win
So that’s all that to say that
if you have a dream
please go to the end and
that is all do to get there that you
surely bring beautiful things
in your life in any case for us it
was the case here thank you
