Jérémy Florès invitational
20 of the best surfers in the world have been hand-picked by Jeremy Flores to compete in south west of France, at the best time of the year!
Surfers will team up in pairs. Each team will earn points as they compete in ‘serious fun’ expression session formats with best airs & barrels, best combos, biggest turns and a twin-fin challenge. 4 days of competition will optimize the conditions during the week of the waiting period. At the end, the top team with the most accumulated points will be crowned champion.
This innovative surf event format will adapt to best suit the conditions on offer in the iconic locations of Capbreton, Hossegor and Seignosse.
