The Quik Pro France is on, and it’s in full force. With a swell filling in that’s turning Hossegor into what we all expect, the world’s best surfers are lighting up. As it stands right now, Medina’s leading in the rankings, with the usual suspects nipping at his heels. Slater, Parko, and Fanning are all primed to take the young phenom out of the pole position.

Stop number nine on the Samsung Galaxy ASP World Championship Tour is a crucial event in the battle for the world title, and the forecast is looking promising with WNW swell to continue through the weekend.

The women’s Roxy Pro France has been running for a few days now, with clean four-to-six foot waves at Les Estagnots. Currently heading into round four of competition, Pauline Ado, Johanne Defay, Dimity Stoyle, Tyler Wright, Bianca Buitendag, Nikki Van Kijk, Lakey Peterson, and Stephanie Gilmore all remain in the fight.
