EXPLORE PIERRO SURF SCHOOL
Education. Discovery. Pleasure.
Pierro Surf School was born from a passion, a common vision and an unwavering commitment to make learning easy and accessible.
In 2018, I told you about my Hawaiian dream.
Since then, I have taken part in many competitions in France and abroad.
My surfing record is growing, as is my notoriety.
Pierro, as everyone calls me, hard of hearing from birth.
I am also and above all three times champion of France of surfing adapted.
Abroad, in 2018 I became champion in my category at the Hawaii Adaptive Surfing Championships, a competition as part of Duke's Oceanfest in Honolulu.
I also placed twice on the podium of the US Open Adaptive, in Oceanside in California and in Hugtington beach.
My handicap therefore did not prevent me from finding my way, directly linked to the ocean.
In addition to being a high-level surfer, I am now a surf teacher in the Basque country.
It was after my victories that I was contacted on social networks by many hearing-impaired people who wanted to take surf lessons with me.
Be a surf instructor; it's my childhood dream. A dream that I thought inaccessible because of my disability, and made possible by the technological evolution of hearing aids, some models of which are now waterproof.
With this new teaching capacity, I open a surf school in my image " PIERRO SURF SCHOOL ", open to all, where sharing the activity is the central point that binds together practitioners of all ages, disability or not. I discovered surfing in La Réunion and today I live from my passion, and I pass it on generously around me.
I can now read lips very well. I personally chose not to wear a device and to evolve in the water with my entire handicap. In the water, I feel like I'm focused without being tired because I don't strain my ears. I feel like I'm in my natural state.
My portrait can be found on France 5 in the show L'oeil et la main "Pierro une vague de liberté" whose replay is available.
A documentary collection, in French and in sign language, which opens up a meeting place between the hard of hearing and the hearing and in which views and points of view on the world are exchanged.
