THE PADDLING BROTHERS

Born in the French capital, then raised in Geneva, Switzerland, nothing predestined the Teulade brothers to spend their lives on the water. As teenagers, they turned to water sports and discovered windsurfing. Gliding on the turquoise waters of Lake Geneva with the force of the wind instantly became an addiction. When the wind drops, the two brothers crave that addictive sensation that all riders know. To satisfy this dependence, they set out to find a new board sport. This was the start of their stand-up paddle adventure.

Tireless workers, they paddled early in the morning and late at night to push their limits. Their fraternal complicity matched any adversity met on the water. Together they pushed, challenged and dared each other. Sons of parents who are sports teachers, their father, former coach of the French National Water Polo team, undoubtedly transmitted the culture of winning and surpassing oneself to his two sons. Fearsome competitors, SUP enthusiasts are used to seeing them on the podium. The two brothers quickly made a name for themselves in the stand-up paddle industry: “the Teulade Brothers”. Today, Ludovic and Jérémy are among the best paddlers in the world.

“If one day I don't race well, I know my brother will represent the family on the podium.” A conundrum for their competitors who see double!"

If the two men like competition, they also travel the beaches of France and the hotspots of the world in search of the most beautiful places to just glide on the water. Marseille's coves, Indonesia's waves, the lagoons of the Canaries, the Polynesian Islands… Postcard landscapes they share on their social networks. Eager for discovery, they gave a metropolitan dimension to stand-up paddle by visiting the most beautiful cities in the world from their waterways. An innovative concept they shared through the web video series “SUPin 'the cities." A first episode in New York, another in Venice…The adventure became urban.

Those who have crossed their paths on the water or outside will tell you the same thing, Jérémy and Ludovic radiate the joy of living. Sharing their adventures naturally arose out of the desire to pass on their passion. Today, the two brothers have set up their stand-up paddle club where it all began, on the shores of Lake Geneva, where they initiate the young or advise regular practitioners. With open hearts and a smile on their faces, the next adventure is always in the back of their minds...
