Vincent Duvignac’s Road Back to surfing After Cervical Injury
04/05/2026 - 20:52
On January 14, 2025, our rider Vincent Duvignac goes down in a heavy barrel and shatters his cervical vertebrae.
A true legend of the Landes sandbanks, Duvi had already spotted and surfed this secret spot many times. An ephemeral beachbreak — the kind he’s charged hundreds of times in his life.
But that day, everything changes. His career snaps in two, forcing him onto a new path. A long road back to the ocean, chasing his own unique style again — and the self-belief needed to pull into barrels like only he knows how.
For several months, filmmaker Pierre Frechou follows Duvi closely, capturing the raw intimacy of his fight to return — maybe one day — to the very highest level.
A 37-minute documentary, just like Vincent himself: honest, intense, and driven by pure passion.
Premiering in Hossegor, Biarritz, Bordeaux, Paris — and back home in Léon, at the Natura surf shop.
Directed by Pierre Frechou
