Laurent Inne is a father, artist, architect, surfboard shaper & host with the most. Born in Paris & unquestionably one of Guethary's Finest: Over the last 25 years, he has become a key fixture across the surf scene in French Basque Country. At the age of 10, he discovered surfing while traveling with his father in Morocco (he has also lived in Holland, Italy & Algeria). In the mid 1970's, he started experimenting with spray-paint & airbrush art on surfboards.

Today, both Laurent & his son, Nils, are brand Ambassadors for POSCA markers. As a shaper, Laurent has worked with Stark, Pukas, Rougé, Minvielle & Lorentz. As an artist, his influences include Basquiat & Haring. More recently, Laurent was the designer of 10 Trophy pieces for the infamous ALC Biarritz: Held in Biarritz from September 4 to September 6, 2026 — via the Plage de la Côte des Basques beach. 

Big ups & much appreciation to Laurent for representing CKTH & XIIIG in the EU — & for sharing his friendship, hospitality & infectious sense of humor with everyone in his community
