GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Wednesday, February 23, 2011) –The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover is just a few short days away from commencing and the opening event of the season will be headlined by none other than reigning 10-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 39.
The iconic natural-footer utilized the off-season to recharge in his adopted homes of Hawaii and California, working on equipment and taking advantage of the winter swell season.
“I’ve been hanging in Hawaii and getting boards sorted out in California and having down time,” Slater said. “Surfing myself out most of January was fun.”
Historically coy about his annual plans, Slater maintains that his agenda for 2011 is still undecided, but is motivated to open the season up in high-performance righthand pointbreak of Snapper Rocks. (Lire la suite…)

“UN GENRE À MOI TOUTE SEULE.”
Par Stéphane Robin – Photo Hassan Hajjaj
A QUOI PENSE-T-ON QUAND ON ÉCOUTE HINDI ZAHRA ? AU SABLE CHAUD DU MAROC, À UN CAFÉ DU 18E ARRONDISSEMENT DE PARIS, AU CIEL BLEU DE L’ARGENTINE… ? PEU IMPORTE. ON EST BIEN.
… I want to lose myself.
Arabo-andalouse, soul ou folk ? On a du mal à classer la musique d’Hindi Zahra. Ce qui est sûr c’est qu’elle chante en anglais avec un accent franco-arabe savoureux. “Je veux être un genre à moi toute seule”, une révélation qui traduit bien l’état d’esprit d’une jeune femme autodidacte qui écrit la nuit et rêve le jour.
