Jeremy Flores and Carissa Moore Win 2019 Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France

Date: 2019-10-18

Seignosse, Hossegor, Capbreton, Landes, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France where Jeremy Flores (FRA) and Carissa Moore (HAW) won the Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France in, historic fashion, claiming victory in the Final bouts against Italo Ferreira (BRA) and Caroline Marks (USA) held in firing surf at the infamous La Graviere tubes.

Stops No. 8 and 9 on the women and men s 2019 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT) respectively, the Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro France, have been graced with excellent conditions, and featured amazing performances on both the thumping shore break of La Graviere and the long open walls of La Nord. The events culminated on a picture-perfect beach day in France to crown Flores and Moore in Hossegor.

"I really want to thank all the fans here on the beach," said Flores. "You have always been there supporting me," adding "I'm dedicating this win to Pierre Agnes, without whom I would never be who I am today."

Local hero Jeremy Flores (FRA) claimed a historic first win for a French surfer at the Quiksilver Pro France in his 14th appearance on home soil. Hailed as one of the best tube riders in the world, Flores demonstrated the immensity of his talent under the lip on Finals day, locking in big numbers in four consecutive heats with barrels on his way to victory.

3X WSL Champion Carissa Moore (HAW) claimed an astonishing 23rd win on the Championship Tour, further cementing her name alongside surfing's greats. In an incredibly consistent season, the Hawaiian has made the Quarterfinals or better at each of the year's eight stops, and won two of them. Chasing a fourth World Title, Moore distanced herself from Lakey Peterson (USA) with her win in France and will be hard to beat as the season heads to the final stops in Portugal and in her home nation of Hawaii.

"It's been a pretty special year so far," said Moore. "I feel like I'm learning so much, every step of the way, at every event and every year. This was definitely a special event, being able to share it with my husband and Mitch Ross, I have an incredible team of people behind me, my family and friends, my sponsors and the fans who were incredible."
