Who are the most famous French surfers
Jeremy Flores
Jeremy Flores is the most successful European pro surfer of all time, and has the chance to take his career even further after qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. His four Championship Tour victories include:
- a historic home win at the Quiksilver Pro France (2019),
- a pair of Pipe Masters (2010, 2017)
- Billabong Pro Teahupo’o (2015)
He grew up on the island of Reunion, but moved to France as a teenager to pursue his dream of becoming a professional surfer. More recently he moved to Tahiti with his partner Hinarani de Longeaux, a model and former Miss France. Flores joined the Championship Tour in 2007 at the age of 18, and achieved one of the most successful freshman seasons in Tour history, finishing No. 8 in the world and winning the Rookie of the Year award.
With a fruitful career under his belt, Flores went on parental leave during the 2018 Uluwatu CT for the arrival of his daughter, Hinahei, and ended the season at No. 16 on the Jeep Leaderboard. His 2019 was spectacular, claiming an epic victory in front of thousands of screaming fans in Hossegor, an achievement that helped him secure his selection for surfing’s Olympic debut. It seems Europe’s best ever surfer just keeps getting better and better.
