Located right across from the castle of the Dukes of Brittany, the water mirror is usually a peaceful spot where kids, tourists, and locals come to cool off or just hang out. But with Adrien Raza, this shallow body of water has turned into a true urban skating hotspot.
Skimboarding, the art of surfing without waves
Skimboarding is like the urban cousin of surfing. Just a board, a bit of water, and plenty of style. Unlike surfing, you don’t need big waves; just a few centimeters are enough to slide and show off impressive tricks. And Adrien Raza is a master at it. This Dutch guy travels around European cities, transforming public spaces into playgrounds, blending technical skill with artistic performance.
A breathtaking video
In the video, you can see him launching himself on his board, gliding smoothly across the water mirror, executing perfectly timed tricks, all against a stunning urban backdrop. With Nantes' architecture, the perfect reflection in the water, and Adrien's mastery, the result is truly amazing.
This is not just a performance—it's a celebration of creativity and skill!

Thanks to Adrien Raza, the water mirror has found a new, albeit temporary, but unforgettable purpose. It's unclear if the city would officially back the idea, but one thing's for sure—it's inspiring people to grab their boards or at least their phones to film the next waterfall.
