Notre Dame Beach - Capbreton
Relive the Ocean Perf Challenge 2025 with me, the largest international lifesaving sport competition on the Atlantic coast. During this spectacular event, held in Hossegor / Capbreton in Les Landes, I had the honor of officially being the aquatic lifesaving photographer at the event and producing the promotional video for the Ocean Perf brand.
Beyond the sporting challenge, this event represents the perfect alliance between physical performance and the raw beauty of the ocean—a playground that I know and master perfectly.
My goal? To capture the power, emotion, and technical skill of the athletes facing the Landes waves.
Ocean Perf Challenge: The Intensity of Coastal Sports Rescue
The Ocean Perf Challenge is not just a race; it's an intense demonstration of the commitment of coastal lifesavers and athletes from around the world. The disciplines, ranging from board rescue to open-water swimming events, demand a perfect reading of the ocean.
As an aquatic sports photographer, I position myself closest to the action. This allows me to immortalize rare moments:
The palpable concentration of athletes before the start.
The struggle against the current and the power of the waves.
The precise moment of catching a wave on a surf ski or paddleboard.
My experience as a former performing artist (aquatic) allows me to decode and anticipate movement in the water, transforming every coastal rescue photo into a dynamic work of art.
The Official Video Production for Ocean Perf
In parallel with the photographic coverage, I was tasked with the video production of the event's promotional clip for the Ocean Perf brand.
The objective of this video was to transmit the energy and passion of the competition while showcasing the athletes' equipment. My cinematic approach to the aquatic element guarantees a unique rendition:
Total Immersion: Aquatic video shots and footage taken at water level for an unprecedented perspective of the race.
Rhythm and Editing: Dynamic post-production that amplifies the competition's intensity.
Brand Visibility: Seamless integration of the Ocean Perf brand as an essential partner in athletic performance.
