English version follows.
The young talent today is called Loïck Lesauvage, is a waver almost French 13 years. Its appearance is clean and polite, but don't be fooled, This little loop in French water turns and offers incredible numbers. See him run around indefatigable in the waves of the South of France is a real pleasure. And then, also under the aspect of media, It has an image of quality and well taken care of. Beautiful photos, video and even a blog that I recommend to visit.
