Adrisurfsport, the multi-sportsman in love with vanlife

ADRI AND HIS VAN TAO.

Adri is not from this world… And even though he has his feet firmly planted the ground, only in the water, a dozen or so meters below the surface, does he feel right at home. A highly talented diver (freediving and scuba), he is also a surfer from Marseille (yes, there are are many), a Polynesian outrigger canoeing pro, and a stand up paddle boarding enthusiast. He competes in triathlons (so loves running, cycling, and of course swimming), plays beach volleyball, and does lots of other stuff … in short, a real all-around athlete.

Adri is also an autodidact (although he did a lot of studies). Passionate about traveling, he decides to buy an old VW T3 from 1982 (a great vintage, eh Susi ;-)) all rotten, to renovate it … although he knows nothing about bodywork and even less about mechanics! It took him a full year, a little bit each day, to bring Tao (which means “on the way”) back to life.

WHY WE CHOSE HIM.

Because he’s such a great, handsome guy. Because he likes to share his passion for sports and travel. Because he managed to turn Tao into such a great little van. Because he does va’a (Polynesian outrigger canoe), and of course surfs in Marseille!
