Leon Jamaer and Thomas Traversa slicing up waves as smooth as butter in Madagascar

Earlier this year, Leon Jamaer (JP / NeilPryde) and Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) were invited on a trip of a lifetime by Gilles Calvet, which would see them travel to Africa in hope of scoring a wave founded 25 years ago.

Where in Africa? Madagascar - which is the fourth largest island in the world - situated off the southeast coast of Africa. Madagascar is primarily famed for it’s rich diversity of wildlife, but this isn’t why Jamaer and Traversa were travelling there… the island also offers world class waves and their latest video shows just how epic this place can be…

Leon Jamaer adds: “When Gilles Calvet asked me to come along with him and Thomas Traversa to rediscover a wave that he found more than 25 years ago in Africa I didn´t hesitate to say: sure, lets go!”
