Pancho Sullivan remporte la « Fiat Expression Session »

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 26 September, 2007 : - - Hossegor, France –  Le 3ème tour du Quiksilver Pro France n’a pas pu être lancé aujourd’hui, les conditions n’étant pas jugées satisfaisantes par les surfeurs et la direction de compétition. Néanmoins, le public a eu l’opportunité de voir évoluer quelques uns des meilleurs surfeurs du monde dans le cadre de la « Fiat Expression Session » dotée de 10 00$.

19 pros du Top 44 et de l’élite européenne ont fait le show et saisi l’occasion de surfer sur le spot de compétition. La meilleure manœuvre est signée Pancho Sullivan (Haw) tandis que le jeune tahitien Michel Bourez, 2è, est récompensé du prix de la meilleure manœuvre non assistée (par un jet-ski). Enfin, l’américain Bobby Martinez obtient la 3ème place pour la meilleure vague assistée par un jet-ski.

Demain, Jeudi 27 septembre, l’appel est lancé à 8h à La Nord à Hossegor pour une reprise possible de la compétition au stade du Round 3.
