'STARFRUIT'

A short clip starring at Issam Auptel surfing Guadeloupe's finest reefs.

Like a lot of students, when the Christmas holidays come It is usually time to leave the messy 15m2 studio and go back to the comfort of your parents home for a couple days. For Issam, this means an 8 hour plane across the Atlantic Ocean to finally land in Guadeloupe and be gifted with a tree full of star fruits (also known as carambola) in his backyard that are just waiting to be picked.
We happen to be on this small French Caribbean island at the same period and mother nature decided to cooperate, Starfruit was born.
