Who is Tristan Guilbaud?

Yeah, it's a bit of a tired inquiry after Who Is Job? Series 15, but still, the name doesn't register while the surfing is fantastic so it's a question worth asking. In another time I'd have said Tristan Guilaud has a classic Australian power style, but surfing being global and nationalism being uncool, that style can come from any corner of the surfing world these days.

After a quick tap on Google I've just found out old Tristan comes from a little corner called St Gilles Croix de Vie in France. So there you go.
