Interview
Romain! How has the season been?
Really good so far, haven’t seen this much snow in my home village since i was 10!
Any plans for the rest of the winter?
A lot of BC-kickers around Val and Tignes. Shoot and get some pics and video.
Who’s batman and who’s robin between you and your brother?
I guess Leo is Robin, he’s a cirkus artist, he’s been saying so since he was 10. So that makes me Batman, I have a bit more of a darker side I guess…
Any tricks you wanna film at the moment that keeps you sleepless?
Switch bs 7 in the pow, and fs 10 double, but I actually hate to see that trick… But it’s actually a pretty good feeling to do. So I have mixed feelings about it..
What are you doing when your’e not snowboarding?
Travelling a lot with my girlfriend Lorraine, learning to surf, working with my dad with building wood furniture.
Favourite place to travel?
Quebec for snowboarding and for the people, Encinitas for surfing and chilling and to see my godmother.
What do you feel about riding for Monokel?
I’m stoked to be part of something underground, a brand with human concern about the riders. Trying to do my part to help it grow!
Anything you want to add?
Enjoy! That’s it!
