Twin Bush

 

They might not be using deflow fins, but both Iñigo and Arnaud are pure surfers that love riding different kind of boards. They took a bunch of twins and singles in their latest trip to Mentawais, and the result is… just click on the video and watch it ;)

We know Iñigo for many years. We have always admired his positive attitude and vision of surfing. By his unique way of surfing twins in every kind of conditions earning his life by crafting surfboards, he’s being able to create positive culture in his community in Basque Country, inspiring younger generations.

My main inspirations in surfing , as a girl I would say, Kassia Meador , and in the boys gang , George Greenough , Marc Cunningham , Al knost , Joel Tudor …

When you were a child, and you started surfing, what inspired you? tell as your story

My main inspiration to start surfing were the other girl surfers that I saw surfing around me and having so much fun .. Then when I grew up as a teenager they came to me and brought me everywhere .. I really understood everything I needed to learn about traveling, boards and equipment .. still learning nowadays .

Which surf magazine and video have you watched the most?

I loved surfers journal and looking into art reviews … some of them included surfing .

It ́s said that a surfer becomes a surfer when starts traveling, visiting new countries and getting to know new cultures. Do you remember your first trip?

After a few trips to Spain , my real first surf trip came when I left home to go live in Cali with my mentor Kassia Meador for three months.

Who are your favorite surfers nowadays? The most interesting?

I still look up a lot to Kass , I hang out with a very talented surfer lady called Erin Ashley during my stays in California as well … and all the guys that surf alternative boards and mostly have fun on it , shape dust it off and go surf it .

Apart from surfing what are you interested on?

I love art , music and people.

Which is your everyday board and fin?

My everyday board is either a noserider or a good classic but faster log both between 9’2 and 9′

What kind of board, fins or type of surfing do you want to try next?

I would love to learn more into fun boards , I`ve been having a lot of fun the last couple years but I want to improve myself , I have a couple paipos at home aswell that I want to ride in really speedy but small shallow waves …

 

 

What does progression in surfing means to you?

It means getting there without getting bored out of it .. learning that when you get bored of a board or a wave , move on and change the scene for a week you will feel so happy to be back on it after that. Stay a child as long as it belongs to the beach and the waves (;

Where do you want to see yourself in 10 years?

Somewhere I will call home and doing things that make me satisfied !
