Lee-Ann Curren is a European surf champion, a French-American musician and so much more...

While sitting in my campervan on a busy street in Biarritz, Lee-Ann told me a bit about the chance and burden of being born in a family of surf legends, what it is like to be openly gay as a pro surfer and how surfing can become part of the performing arts.

In order to reach a broader audience, we recorded this podcast in English - which felt funny, because we normally speak French when we meet. She was part of my arte documentary CHICKS ON BOARDS, together with her aunt Christine.

Lee-Ann spoke softly and thoughtfully, which may have had something to do with the change in language, but also with the calmness and modesty she exudes.

I am sure we'll meet again for another podcast recording, la prochaine fois in French!
