Ludo Strohl - Areche Beaufort - France

This guy is riding a Dupraz, a small Swiss/French brand that proposes very different shapes for their snowboard.. A kind of swallow, but quite different.
Well.. I have to admit that at first sight i was not convinced, just as any freestyler would be i guess.. :)
But i got to ride one for two weeks in Mt Baker and Whistler/Squamish, and i have to say it is so impressive.. Both on piste and in deep snow (where it is so soooo good...)
Anyways, this was just the little story behind the pic.. These boards give such an amazing surfing feeling.. Just like surfing.. On snow..
So i shot this one with Ludo, one of the rider of the brand, when we came back from Canada.. and i find a little bit of this surfing feeling in it.. You'll tell me..
:)

And if you wanna know more about these boards, here is the link :

Super flowy photo with awesome composition. It has a real energy to it

The boards look like a snowboard crossed with a nordic ski
