If you’re looking for Larry Warbasse, try the bay at Villefranche-sur-Mer, just round the headland from Nice. Specifically, look for a man standing on an inflatable board, with a pole stretching from his hands down into the bright blue water. 

Paddleboarders have exploded in number in the past couple of years and Warbasse is one of them.
