Definition: "Prio" priority

Definition: Surfing priority is a rule that determines which surfer has the right to catch a wave or not. The surfer closest to the peak of the wave usually has priority. It must also be at the top of the wave. There are, however, different rules for different destinations.

In California, for example, it's the person who gets up first who has priority, not the person in the best position.

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!
