Pierre Mortefon and his son Léon in action

08/09/2022

A few seconds of video posted on Pierre Mortefon's Instagram account in August were enough to create a buzz. The reason: F-14 is sailing a slalom foil on Lake Garda with his son Léon between his legs! The 2019 PWA slalom world champion tells us about this session.

 

"I had gear tests in August for Fanatic and Duotone, holidays with the family to deal with, and we mixed it up well on Lake Garda in Italy which is a very good place to do both with not too much wind and a good organisation with the club on site. I've already sailed with Léon when he was very young with a baby carrier. I had also done it in the West Indies last winter and there he was the one who wanted to go windsurfing with dad. It was him who asked me, he's starting to understand what his father does, the competitions and everything else and these are important things in his life. He's happy to see what I'm doing, and that day his mum was sailing next door, and it was cool to share it with the three of us! We found it fun to film, he had a blast on the water and I took the opportunity to make this post. Of course, I had some criticisms that I can hear but on the other hand, I know what I'm doing, it's my son and for me there was no risk. We do things quietly, it's a father/son thing. The next step will be with him alone on his board, as he has started to sail slowly with the iRig inflatable sails from Duotone, which are great even if he is still a bit small!"
