Bastien Bollard Paris Underground shooting

16 November... I'm back from Brazil. Like each year I spent 2 months around Icarai de Amontada for training and enjoying Brazilian lifestyle.
Before going to Essaouira for the 2009 KPWT ' s final schedule, I had 2 weeks off . I decided to stay in Paris to meet with sponsors, friends and to organize photo shoots.
I will be powered in 2010 by 3 Urban "brands" which fit very well with the " UNDERGROUND " spirit. So we decided with my friend Karim to take photos around Paris with 2010 gear  from TEN80, MOOD, G shock and UNDERGROUND of course...
My new FLX 8-bit was delivered two days ago... it was perfect, just on time for the photo shoot . TEN 80 clothes were perfectly assorted to my FLX. We started in Paris' suburb with a big wall all coverded by graffiti. It was perfect to express an UNDERGROUND feeling ... But what a temperature !!!! After the 30° of Brazil, i was in Boardshort and teeshirt, under the rain with approximatively 5° ... Brrrr !!!Welcome home !!
So we decided to go to 'The' spot, for a real UNDERGROUND shooting !!! The Parisian subway. It was so funny to work there with my friend Karim... Everybody was curious and wondering what we were doing with this "nice boards" ? Is it a surfboard or a skate ?  Yes... Parisian people are not really informed about Kitesurf !!! So we explained what it was, and why the subway was a great "spot" to make this kind of lifestyle pictures with this board.  UNDERGROUND spirit I mean !!!

Some pics can be seen in the Underground gallery already.

All pictures really soon on my "pictures gallery":
