Journey

A life built around the ocean

My name is Anne-Cécile Lacoste. Born in 1982, I come from Arcachon in south-west France. I love the ocean. That is why I built my life around surfing and bodyboarding, which I now teach on the Landes coast.

I spent many years travelling the world — Costa Rica, Brazil, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Australia, Hawaii, Indonesia — for competitions, for the joy of discovering other cultures, and to admire breathtaking landscapes.

I have always been adventurous and in love with nature. The world fascinates me and awakens my curiosity. I had the privilege of representing my country abroad and winning meaningful victories.
