A customs workshop attracted people, especially if the performances were good and the people had fun! From a distance, it is difficult to measure the incredible craze that occurred at the time, it was fun, it was trendy, you could afford a lot of things Here are some of the people who participated in the story.

From left to right: Claude Sommer - Anne Sommer, French championship rider - Patrick Limousin, rider/tester from Caledonia - Matthieu Leblanc, young and talented graphic designer - Didier Roy, in-house tester - Fred Laplane, who will become Hollywind's shaper for a while - François Germain, who drives all this.

Umberto, Hubert Guy, my friend, with whom we had a lot of fun!

A carpenter by trade, he had made this shaped gun stand and some magnificent board stands for a boat show. It was nicknamed "Snow White and the 7 dwarfs".

At the same show, Didier Roy and François Maguerez, World Cup rider.

Didier Roy, at the workshop in La Blaque. NB: On this photo, one can clearly see a particularity of the foam blocks that I had made exclusively by Clark Foam: the double slats had a variable thickness, thin at the front they thickened at the back to constitute a very effective reinforcement of the fin box.

Patrick Limousin and Fred Laplane, hugging?

Olivier Schnerb, the only one I would continue to work with after the change of workshop in 1988. An outstanding glasser, Olivier was an expert in finishing protocols. Afterwards, I would sell interventions to dress and polish the master models of boats on site, in the shipyards.
We carried out these missions in record time and the hardest thing was to leave with the cheque. A pinch every time !
