The Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France Winners

The Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France Winners

Date: 2018-10-19

Plage Des Culs Nus - Hossegor, Landes, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France where Julian Wilson (AUS) and Courtney Conlogue (USA) won the Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France, Stop No. 9 of the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT).

The final day of competition witnessed Wilson and Conlogue plow through a stacked field to earn their momentous wins at the 17th running of the iconic French event.

Wilson's victory in France is his second of the season after the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast earlier this year. Only a month before the 2018 season opener on the Gold Coast, Wilson suffered a serious shoulder injury and it was unclear whether he would be able to compete. The win today proves his determination and the fact that the 29-year-old is not giving up his hopes for a maiden World Title. Wilsonnow strengthens his third place position with only 4,645 points separating him and World No. 1 Gabriel Medina (BRA).

Conlogue has been fighting her way back to the top following a foot injury that side-lined her for the first half of the season and today's victory marks a triumphant confirmation of her new-found form following a win at the Vans US Open of Surfing and a fifth-place finish at the Surf Ranch Pro. The Championship Tour veteran, in her eighth year competing with the Top 17, claims her first-ever win in France and the eleventh of her career, pushing her up to No. 8 on the Jeep Leaderboard."This whole event has been quite the journey," Conlogue stated. "I had a lot of fun out there today, the conditions were so clean in that Final and I was just frothing. I had to keep my cool cause I was feeling like a grom!"

Meanwhile the MEO Pro Portugal has gotten underway. Stop No. 10 of 11 on the Men's World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT) was blessed with six-to-eight foot waves at Supertubos, Portugal's world-renowned beach break. Watch it LIVE on WorldSurfLeague.com and the WSL's Facebook page.
