The boys at RIPITUP have been sending quality clips faster than we can post um!

With one thing in common being that the Southwest of France is just super consistent wave-wise. You would be hard-pressed to find another region that offers up quality beach break surf like these lucky souls get to enjoy on a daily basis.

However, if you’ve been there you know it’s all about the banks, and from what we’ve been told they are looking very good leading into this year’s comp season.

Unfortunately, the Quik Pro has been downgraded this year to WSL Challenger status as it had long been one of the absolute legend events on the CT. So many story lines and great champions crowned. That will be missed.

That said, we have no doubt the Challenger competitors will step it up and provide plenty of action of their own, and, quite possibly, a few of the local crew might even shake things up a bit?

Looking forward to it.
