SNOWBOARDER
by Olias Barco
synopsis
Gaspard, 18, is a young snowboarder living in Avoriaz. Beshop, a former professional trainer, allows Gaspard to stay and train with him in exchange for the latter putting in a few hours work in his surf store. It’s a tough life for Gaspard, but he seems to like that. Despite his obvious talent, he is not overly ambitious. But all this changes when his idol, Josh Hankessen, snowboard champion and renowned bad boy, suggests he leave Beshop and come and train with him in Switzerland. Little does Gaspard know the champion’s true motives…
