Cyril is a bon vivant, a world-traveler and avid adventurer. His unique enthusiasm, joy, and creativity are palpable. He’s currently based in California, and has lived in France, Spain, England, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, throughout the US, and speaks 5 languages fluently. We stuck to English on this podcast. Adventure seeker since childhood, Cyril backpacked around the world for a full year at the age of 25. Cyril’s a father, and it’s amazing to see him look at his adventurous nature now through his kids’ eyes.
Cyril is Ultra, Human for the passion he brings to what some would call ‘crazy’ challenges. Cyril has a long list of expeditions under his belt- rowing, outrigger paddling the famous Molaki championships 4x, kayaking, and canoeing on multiple expeditions.. In the summer of 2016, he successfully rowed across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii, in an expedition of just under 40 days, earning him and his teammates a Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing. Up next for Cyril is another MASSIVE project: a solo, unsupported kayak crossing of the mid-Pacificstarting in May 2020 (correction- the date was 2021 at time of the podcast, but has been since ambitiously updated to May 2020).
