"You only tell the truth in the dark" is an inspirational short movie directed by Sebastien Zanella - Desillusion Magazine - illustrating a vision of surfing rarely seen, an ode to solitude, introspection and waves pursuit, miles away from the usual « sea, sex & surf » clichés. With just a van, a few boards and a camera, William Aliotti and Sebastian Zanella embarked on a 3000km solo surf exploration road trip along the Chilean coastline, travelling across the dusty Atacama desert, ghost t...

It’s been a heck of a year for William Aliotti. Nicaragua, New Zealand, Fiji, Ireland, Maldives, Russia, United Kingdom (and of course France), the young Caribbean surfer sure added a couple thousands miles to his Frequent Flyer card…Despite the variety of the destinations and the fair amount of time spent in the water, he still couldn’t resist the consistency of Bali’s waves. Here’s what he brought back as a souvenir. Edited by Ludovic Lassere (Falling Angel Prod) Music: "Welcome To The...

With decent swell all week long and somewhat changeable weather conditions, the invited surfers charged hard in the 1-1.5m waves from the outset, despite frigid water temperat...

It takes little time, little observation to understand why Mexico is such an attractive place for surfers: 3 to 6ft glassy open faces, barreling sections, warm water… It was no surprise when Gaspard Larsonneur told us about his trip over there. Hailing from Quimper, France, the 19 year-old regular footer has been literally surfing every existing waves around the craggy coastline of Brittany, from the infamous La Torche all the way to the most remote and savagely protected secret spot. C...

Nixon is proud to welcome German street skater Alex Mizurov to the Nixon Team. Born in Kazakhstan, Alex was previously on the Nixon flow program for several years. During that time, he made a very strong impression on the Nixon pro team riders whenever he joined them on skate jaunts around Europe. The 25-year-old's outstanding technical ability and clinical skate style, coupled with his good-humored nature and determined attitude to getting the job done, made it almost too easy for the re...

While the Northern Hemisphere was hunted by thunderstorms, long nights and cold temperatures, Nixon’s William Aliotti caught some great waves in sunny Tahiti.

The trip in company of fellow Frenchies Maud LeCar and Joan Duru was William’s first time in Tahit...
