    Surf Europe Readers' Choice Awards

    Jeremy Flores claims Surf Europe Readers' Choice Awards    > Francaise ci-dessous

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 20 August, 2008 : - - The spiritual home European surfing awoke this morning to something of a headache, as an unseasonably large west swell bore down on the famous pine fringed coast of Les Landes and the dust settled on a night of high revelry at the Casino d’Hossegor.

    European pro surfers, surf industry bigwigs and assorted good time seekers enjoyed the stellar hospitality of the Casino late into the wee hours last night to celebrate the continued evolution of surfing on our shores, with online voters across Europe and beyond honouring their favourite Male and Female Surfers, Best Video Part, Best Photo, New Kid on the Block and Lifetime Achievement in the Inaugural Surf Europe Readers’ Choice Awards.

    "I just want to thank everyone who voted for me," a dapper M. Flores said after exiting the stage,"It means a lot not just to try to win contests but to be recognised by the public also. I'm super stoked. I think this is a great night for European surfing, for all of us."

    Flores took the top award from TIAGO PIRES (POR) in second place with the voters, who, proudly accepting the honours in front of his mum also echoed Jeremy’s sentiments about the growing strength of the European collective.

    Fellow Top 45 surfers MIKY PICON (FRA) and ARITZ ARANBURU (EUK) took 3rd and 4th spots respectively, with MARLON LIPKE (DEU) coming home in 5th place with the voters, recognizing his recent stellar performances on the WQS as he attempts to be the first German to qualify for ASP World Tour.

    MARC LACOMARE (FRA) took out the New Kid On The Block award as he continues his impressive rise into the pro ranks, the local teenager receiving huge applause from a packed house, as did local charger and French 1988 National Champion SEB ST JEAN (FRA) who picked up a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement award in recognition of decades of performance surfing and dedication to the powerful surf of Hossegor and surrounds.

    The ever smooth surfing of JONATHAN GONZALEZ (ESP) was a clear winner for Best Video Part for his section in Euroforce the Actionmentary, the under-spoken Canarian’s acceptance speech unsurprisingly being the shortest of the evening, while Biarritz teen sensation LEE ANN CURREN won the no.1 Awards for the Ladies.

    Flores élu meilleur surfeur européen par les lecteurs du magazine Surf Europe

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 20 August, 2008 : - - "J’aimerais remercier tous ceux qui ont voté pour moi," a déclaré le très élégant Jérémy Flores en descendant de la scène du Casino D’Hossegor  "C’est aussi important pour moi d’essayer de gagner des compétitions que d’être reconnu par le public. Je suis vraiment très heureux. Je crois que cela a été une grande soirée pour le surf européen, pour tous ceux qui ont été réuni ici."

    Flores a été élu meilleur surfeur européen par les lecteurs du magazine Surf Europe devant TIAGO PIRES (POR) qui a accepté avec beaucoup d’émotions son trophée devant sa famille et toute l’industrie du surf européen et qui a fait écho aux propos de Flores en insistant sur la cohésion des surfeurs européens sur la scène mondiale.

    Les deux autres surfeurs du top 45, MIKY PICON (FRA) et ARITZ ARANBURU (EUK) ont fini respectivement 3ième et 4ième alors que MARLON LIPKE (DEU) prend la cinquième place au nombre des votes grâce à un très bon début de saison sur le WQS qui lui permettra peut être d’être le premier surfeur allemand à se qualifier pour l’ ASP World Tour !

    MARC LACOMARE (FRA) a été ovationné pour son trophée du ‘New Kid On The Block’ alors qu’il continue sa progression dans les rangs junior du surf professionnel. Même acclamations du public dans une salle archicomble pour le champion de France 1988 et surfeur de gros SEB ST JEAN (FRA) qui repart avec un trophée récompensant l’ensemble de sa carrière et ses récentes performances en tow in.

    JONATHAN GONZALEZ (ESP) a lui été récompensé pour la  ‘Best Vidéo Part’ et sa prestation dans l’Actionmentary de l’Euroforce, son discours aura été le plus bref de la soirée mais le canarien a toujours préféré laisser son surf parler pour lui. Chez les surfeuses, c’est la jeune et talentueuse LEE ANN CURREN qui a été récompensée par les lecteurs devant PAULINE ADO et CAROLINE SARRAN.
