VISION.
I love bodyboarding. I often say it but the more I grow as a human being, the more I understand how much bodyboarding has shaped my life and the individual I am today.
It is more than a sport, it is a culture, a way of living your days. It can also happen to be a way to escape reality. It is proven that spending time in the ocean re-energizes and revitalizes your mind and your body. So what better way to be doing so than riding waves on a bodyboard for unlimited time?
Bodyboarding has given me everything, I travelled the entire world, met incredible people and discovered new cultures, it gave me a family and even a successful career as an athlete. I lived experiences of a lifetime and I was lucky to share them with friends and people I love.
My passion and love for bodyboarding is so strong that I felt it was time to move to the next step and now build something where I could pass on my knowledge and the values of our beloved sport & lifestyle to the people who are willing to. This is why I decided to create COSTES CAMPS, a project inspired by my history and my belief that sharing what makes us happy is something fundamental that makes this world a better place.
This project is something I always had in mind, one of the main reasons that makes me adore bodyboarding so much is the joy and the fun it provides to a person regardless of their skills. The smile on their face after simply catching a good wave or coming out of a barrel is something priceless and it is this happiness and satisfaction, I want to help people to reach. It doesn’t matter if you never rode a bodyboard before or if you want to improve your skills to become a professional athlete or even just discover a new place using bodyboarding as an excuse, the purpose of this project is to give a unique experience and an opportunity to spend a week chasing waves together and simply live the best things that bodyboarding has to offer us.
I honestly can’t wait to have you at COSTES CAMPS and start this adventure,
Pierre-Louis Costes.
