Born to a French mother and Lebanese father during the war, and when we say during the war, it means born in a hospital basement, dust shaking from the walls from the shelling above. At the age of 4, Adrien and his mother relocated to Reunion Island, from where his mother hails. It is here he learnt to surf, the famed jewel of the island, nay indian ocean, left of St Leu providing a perfect canvas for the goofy footer with a highly polished style. He now resides in Biarritz.
