Talent spotted at the tender age of 10 years old by Quiksilver, over the course of just a few years, he would become the most decorated French snowboarder in history.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After four World Titles (2005, 2006 and 2007 x2), a silver X-Games medal, and two Olympics participations (2006 and 2010), Mathieu Crepel felt it was time to hang up his competition bibs and take some time off. Looking for new challenges, he decided to launch himself into an adventure that would allow him to unite his two passions: snowboarding and surfing. Since then, he has been around the world, hunting down the most beautiful mountains, and the world best breaks for an unprecedented challenge.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I want to share, to learn from my experience and to enrich those of other people. Surfing and snowboarding are vital for me, they allow me to be close to nature, and have taught me about how fragile it is. This is what motivates me to go on an adventure, far from my comfort zone, and to continuously challenge myself.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>MORGAN LE FAUCHEUR</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Morgan Le Faucheur is a former professional snowboarder is a respected film producer and</div><div style="text-align: justify;">founder of the production company, ALMO Film.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SPINDYE JACKET</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Mathieu Crepel is out snowboarding, he is rides with the isolating Quiksilver Snow SpinDye® jacket.
