Zoe was born in the French Alps, first experiencing riding on skis. At age 12, her family moved down to the South West of France, in Anglet, a town famous for its beach break. There, Zoe was initiated to the world of surfing by her stepfather, Leny. A year into the sport, she drifted towards longboard: “I fell in love with longboard as soon as I tried it. I was fascinated by Kelia Moniz’s style and her take on the sport.”

Four years later, her results speak for themselves: 3rd at the 2015 and 2016 French Championships, 2nd in 2017.

Today Zoe, combines surfing and studies: she has just returned to business school and stood on the second step of the podium at the 2020 European Championships.

 

Q&A WITH ZOE:

Favorite place to travel? My favourite place to travel is Australia. I fell in love with that beautiful country, charmed by the landscapes and the waves and felt all the positives energies. I have so much to see and I am sure that each place has its own thing that makes you love it.

Best moment in your career? The best moment in my career was simply finding out who I am and what I wanted in life!

Favorite things to do when you’re not riding? I love food and health so I really like to take time to cook healthy meals, read and learn about body/mental health, care and fitness. I also like to spend time with my family and to work out.

Fashion essentials? As a surfer, my bikinis are my fashion essentials! Comfy, easy and trendy... all I need!

Favorite moment with ROXY? I have two favourite moments with ROXY. The first one was in France, in 2018 during the ROXY Pro! I met Kelia Moniz -my favourite longboarder- and spent a week with all the ROXY Girls! We had so much fun. The other one was in Noosa, surfing with the ROXY family all day long during 2 weeks! It’s such a good vibe and I really appreciated this sisterhood!
