For some time now, we have seen that padel is attracting more and more celebrities, which helps to increase the visibility of our favorite sport even more.

The music group Boulevard des Airs has just confirmed this trend by joining the Padel Business LeagueThe 1er padel championship 100% dedicated to professionals !

Authors, composers, performers and now producers, the quartet with multiple musical talents also love sports fields and more particularly padel, as soon as their schedule allows.

Florent Dasque, the “padel addict”

Florent Dasque, the group's guitarist and true "padel addict", explains how the padel adventure began and what motivated him to register his team for the stage of Padel Factory in Lescar (64):

"Often on tour between two concerts we like to - break - with various physical activities, in order to get out of the framework and recharge the batteries. We discovered padel in a large indoor activity center a little by chance. Halfway between tennis and squash, with a racket much less difficult to master, padel quickly becomes pleasant to play after a short adaptation time.

This sport corresponds exactly to what we were looking for in our “off” times: a convivial, fun and ideal moment for novices of racquet sports.

During the Zeniths tour in the big cities, we immediately looked for padel centers in order to exchange a few balls and get our legs going before the evening concerts.

For the “former athletes” that we are, we immediately jumped at the opportunity to participate in this new human and sporting challenge, the Padel Business League! We have a fairly heterogeneous team in terms of level, but the main objective is to have a good time to strengthen the bonds of the group and also to meet new playing partners.

Music and restaurant: a very padel note…

But that's not all ! The new brand ambassador Wilson and his brother Jean-Noël also registered a 2nd team in the competition: a very trendy restaurant in Tarbes, "Chez Marcel", in which they are associated.

“Behind Chez Marcel hides an association of sports lovers. From the local to the international level (editor's note: basketball player Céline Dumerc and downhill ski champion Bastien Montès are also part of the partners), the whole team vibrates when we discuss the subject. Taking part in a competition together seemed like a no-brainer ...

Former good tennis players for some, padel came to fill our schedules quite quickly. First games, first training courses & more recently tournaments… We are literally carried away by the padel phenomenon.
Very happy at the idea of ​​sharing a sporting break with people from very diverse backgrounds in order to represent the restaurant, hoping (a little secretly) to see the storefront of Esprit up close. Padel... (editor's note: Spirit Padel will be the club that will host the Masters)
