Definition: This is the positioning technique which consists of starting from the inside of the wave (in counter bowl) and therefore before the tube. This allows you to enter the tube from, you guessed it, the rear door.

The tube will then have to form in front of you and leave an entrance from where you are, like a tube in a-frame.

The lip a bit like a slab.

Born in the hustle and bustle of Paris, Samuel Rosemain first explored the city on his skateboard. His life changed at the age of 13, when he moved to Martinique.

Between the waves of La Caravelle in Tartane and the hidden spots of Sainte-Marie, he discovered his new passion: surfing.

After five years at sea, Samuel turned to marketing while staying close to the ocean. He created Surf Tribe, a website merging his career and his passion for surfing, offering a platform for knowledge and sharing about the sport and its culture.

Because surfing is above all a tribe!
