Freediver Loic Leferme Funeral

April 17, 2007 in Champion Freediver, Video by Jorg Jansen

Today Loic Leferme got cremated in a private ceremony with his family and closest friends. After his accident last Wednesday there was a slight worry that it would take some time before the funeral could take place, but the coastguard gave permission to release the body to the family without an autopsy or an official investigation. Tomorrow there will be a public ceremony for Loic in the Citadel of Villefranche-sur-Mer at 15:00 hours.

On one of my other websites I keep track of all kind of extreme sports video clips. Last year I put on a very special one. It was the video clip Loic had made about his record 171 meter dive. He told me how he tried to get his emotions of each stage of the attempt in the video clip by using specific pieces of music. It’s one of the best freediving clips I have ever seen, especially how Loic succeeded by transferring his emotions onto the screen. I thought I would share this video again, but this time on this website. Enjoy…

This is a post by . There is a big difference at the moment between trying to execute a correct technique with a monofin and enjoying being underwater with a monofin.

This is a post by . So it seems from the training last night that my horizontal alignment is getting somewhere.

When I do static training it is always mental, but with dynamic the focus has been to technique only. So it’s time to change [...]

Lung volume is still a secret, but with this gene pool, it will for sure become a very special freediver.

Congratulations from Shark Freediving!

AIDA International has a new website and a new web address. It is not yet made public on the old website. Probably because it’s still work in progress. But it is already looking to good for not mentioning it here. http://www.aidainternational.org – so the ‘-’ has disappeared. Have a look around! What do you think about it? [...]
