Reunion Island's Romain Cloitre

Filmed towards the end of last year, island boy Romain Cloitre talks about home, surfing, tennis and tour aspirations all set to Mentawai tropical reefbreak perfection. With an early promising result in Brazil, the French natural footer is up there with Joan Duru and Jonathan Gonzalez as the leading European WQS contenders and will be looking to build on the result as the tour comes to Europe.
