Brittany

Thomas Traversa painting perfect lines on glassy clean canvases in Brittany

Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) is one of the biggest wave chargers in the world - winning the PWA Wave World Championship in 2014 and the Red Bull Storm Chase. In 2017 TT finished 6th in the world after one 3rd and two 7th places.

In December TT teamed up with Jamie Hancock (Tabou / GA Sails) on a mission to Brittany and they have just released their new stunning edit, which sees Traversa slicing up perfect wave, after perfect wave.

Jamie Hancock about his latest video edit featuring former world champion Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails): “Filmed with the new Lumix GH5S.

In December I got the ferry over to France and drove to meet Thomas in the North of France. We scored a few waves and it was the first chance for me to test out the new camera and capture Thomas in some pretty perfect conditions.

For filming it was pretty horrendous with constant squalls and nowhere to hide. But despite the harsh weather the shots came out great with me and the camera gear surviving the day.
