Jeremy Flores Keeps Up Good Work on Tour

Age: 19 years old
Lives in: New Caledonia
Sponsors: Quiksilver, Circa, Mark Phipps Surfboards
 

After breaking all records when he became the youngest surfer ever to qualify for the Foster's ASP World Tour, Jérémy Flores (Fra) continues his path amongst surfing's elite. After a convincing 17th place in the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast in March, an early loss in the Rip Curl Pro Bell's beach Classic a month later, the young star arrived in Tahiti for the Billabong Pro with the same frame of mind : to enjoy and get on with his experience of the world tour. And it paid off. Reaching the quarterfinals after beating the best surfer of all times Kelly Slater (USA), Jérémy sits in 9th position on the current ratings and seems to be getting used to this Dream Tour in the ideal way.

In an interview to the ASP Media Officers, Flores said: “I am definitely happy with the way things are going for me. And actually, with the last results, it is still improving, but the guys have been nice to me, and it's very positive for a start amongst the best surfers of the planet.”
