Beau Foster, foam slice, France

Beau Foster, pictured here, has been hanging out in France while the Quiksilver Pro rolled out at Hossegor. After the event ended, the beachies have been lit up for a coupla days before the 34 heads for Portugal. Along with Ev Geiselman, Beau’s riding under the wing of Life Without Andy and Hurley team mate Yadin Nicol. The Central Coast kid’s been receiving the kinda light-hearted torture that any grom is sure to be subject to at some point in their career. Them’s just the breaks. But, it’s character-building, and is good motivation to clock more time in the water. And there ain’t nothing wrong with that. All the more opportunity to perfect face-burns like this one.
