Simon is an early days Pirate. He tripped on a staff in 2005 and has been trying to figure out everything you can do with it for over 15 years.

On this long journey he has been surrounded by pirates, meeting them in their natural habitat everywhere around the world. A trip that finally took him to a tiny island in Indonesia…

A performer and also a teacher, he is passionate about this practice as well as the learning process, and has been trying to break down the ancient knowledge of the POI king and bring it to the new generations, connecting the old school and the new. In the meantime he also developed his own form and techniques, with one, two, or three staffs.

He’ll be taking you from the fundamentals to the craziest things you can theoretically do with a stick.

Whether or not you go to his workshops, you’ll probably hear him, representing the Pirate Brigade and the Fish Tail Task Force.

It all started at the age of 15 when I discovered Diabolo and became instantly addicted to juggling.
After a degree in engineering in France in 2001 I decided to move to the beautiful South Pacific island of Tahiti where I worked for almost 15 years. I explored and practiced with various props when, in 2013, I got my hands on my first Dragon Staff. I fell in love with this prop right away. I began practicing every day, influenced by the work of Brettstar Galactica, Mickey Khoury and Jed Flowler.
In 2016 I moved back to Europe and dedicated my professional life entirely to Dragon Staff. I participated as a performer as well as an instructor in various juggling conventions, flow festivals and other retreats around the world.
I now share my time between finding original Dragon Staff moves and sequences, and running Flowbonacci, the brand I created in 2018.
