France - Extreme sports - Tandem Surfing

Rico Leroy, 35 and Sarah Burel, 19, demonstrating a tandem Surfing lift the day before the French Tandem Surfing finals. Tandem surfing is a hybrid of surfing and acrobatics. Originating in the 1930s in Hawaii when the Waikiki Beach boys would take female tourists for rides on their boards. The sport was most popular in the 50s and 60 s. It is however currently enjoying a renaissance after several decades in the doldrums thanks mainly to the work of Rico Leroy, a passionate ex-French pole vaulter who has set up the International Tandem Surfing Association (ITSA).
