This Is What Surfing Iceland’s Endangered Wave Looks Like

Juliette Lacome and a Tour de Atlantic righthanders.

Vans signed Juliette Lacome about a year and a half ago.

In that time, she’s released three stylish freesurf clips, crashed two cars (that we know of), and hosted one snail dinner. 

She also catalyzed that haircut (the one which sent McKenzie Bowden into a spiral of the scaries).

Juju was a lovely staple in our European Highway scramble, and has put out more freesurf content in the past year than just about all of your favorite female surfers.

You can watch her previous two clips here and here.

Above, watch her tour a variety of Atlantic point breaks — one of which is the endangered Icelandic headland which may be lost to corrupt development.

Juliette’s poised swoops — filmed by Theo Preuilh — make a terrific case for keeping the wave around, and you can sign the petition to ‘stop the greedy fuckers ruining one of the best waves in Iceland.’
