FULL CORNISH
After the Duct Tape in Portugal, Vans riders Adrien Toyon and Ainara Aymat continued their journey to Cornish, heading to Sir Seb Smart’s kingdom.
Far from the surf trip cliché, Cornish is full of surprises: Celts myths, fish & chips, culture, language… and sometimes even good waves for surfing. With their local guide Seb, Ainara and Adrien discovered all these richnesses.
“My favourite thing about the trip was the response by the locals. They often suggested that they hadn’t seen many new faces in the area before. Previously, I remember being a grom and getting so stoked every time I saw a pro surfer out in the sea. It was always inspirational. So now, seeing those same looks from the locals made me feel proud. It’s those moments that remind me of my roots and how special these sorts of things are. I’m proud of where I’m from and love showing people around. It’s memories created that’ll stay forever,” asserts Seb Smart, Vans Surf Team.
