The ILES-USIONS: Self sufficiency and coconuts

They are well prepared, carrying 160kg of equipment (including solar panels, surfboards, hammocks, one pan and two hens). By hitchhiking canoe lifts, Aurelien, Ewen and Ronan go from island to island in search of one that can support them for an indefinite amount of time.

Having found the ideal island, the adventurers set up a makeshift camp. They quickly adapt to their new lifestyle which involves fishing, coconuts, storms and drenched hammocks. Daily chores supply the basic necessities but often inhibit the surf sessions. How will these long-time friends and surfers react in such a situation?

Follow their adventure every week
With the help of solar panels Ronan was able to film the whole adventure, which is being released online. Every Tuesday and Thursday, a new three minute episode will be released. There will be 10 episodes; therefore the series will run for 5 weeks. In the meantime you can check out the trailer. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the occasional bonus videos.

Two great surfers and a well known cameraman

Having grown up together, Ronan Gladu has been photographing and filming them for years. With Aurel and Ewen starring, he released the first film on surf in Brittany; Barravel. The film, which was shared on social networks, received considerable attention from surfers and Bretons alike.

In partnership with Surfrider Foundation Europe, the Première will be in Brest, on Saturday the 17th of September 2011.
