Surfer Profile - Rafaële Deguéhégny

Favorite Spot 
I love my home spot Anglet when it gets good, but it’s always overcrowded...Any warm fun sized wave could be my favorite spot!
Best Trip
Among others  I would say that my latest trip has been the best ever. I was in Peru. It was good because it was a surf trip that wasn’t only about surfing. Still be aware if you want to go there as the coast has nothing that looks like paradise. It’s the worst place to go if there is a bunch of you, some surfers and some not!
Favorite Board
The board I gave away during my last trip. It was a magic board. I really get nostalgic when I think of it! It was a Byrne 6’2.
Favorite Manoeuvre 
I like the old school style with big curves.
Worst Wipe-out 
Probably when i was just starting, i tried to catch a wave and i saw a man who I thought was too close to me (of course now with more experience I realize he wasn’t at all). So i threw my board away and crashed...In the end both boards where broken, mine was recently bought. I went back to the sand crying and i was so ridiculously angry that the guy never came to say anything....
What do you love about surfing? 
I love the fact that any time you go in the water, even if it’s crap,it fills you with good energy, makes you feel good and happy even if you started the day in a grumpy mood.I love feeling the water (of course summer is better for that!).
Surf story
A good surf story…? They are all good! :)
