    Justine Dupont Crowned 2008 ASP European Women's Champion at Pantin  > Francais ci-dessous

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 September, 2008 : - - Pantin, Spain - Justine Dupont (Lacanau, FRA), 17, clinched the 2008 Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) European Women's title after placing second in the ASP WQS 3-Star Pantin Classic in Spain. Dupont, who had to place third or better in the final to clinch the prestigious title ahead of Pauline Ado (FRA), came up with solid surfing posting an average of 15.00 points (out of a possible 20) per heat during the 3-day event.

    "I am so happy to get that title," Dupont said. "I was not really thinking of any ratings but I figured out that I could grab the regional crown when I made the final and it is just so good to make it. It is my best result on a WQS event and we had good waves so it is even better to win the regional championship in these waves."

    Dupont, currently No. 4 on the ASP European Women's Junior tour, will lead female surfing for a year in Europe and confirms her status as one of France's most promissing surfers. "I am definitely starting to think of a career now but I will still keep my studies going," Dupont said. "Things have been going good for me and I am really enjoying my time competing."

    Dupont, who competes in both longboard and shortboard categories, placed second in the ASP Women's World Longboard Championships in 2007, and now rises as Europe's best female surfer following Lee Ann Curren (FRA) in ASP Europe's history. At 17 years of age, Dupont already stands with a prestigious career and should keep rising among surfing's elite.

    Justine Dupont, surfeuse du Team Rip Curl Girls, devient Championne d'Europe ASP 2008, à Pantin

    Pantin, Espagne (Dimanche 7 septembre 08) - Justine Dupont (Lacanau, FR) a remporté le titre européen ASP après avoir terminé 2ème lors du WQS 3-star Pantin Classic en Espagne. Justine, qui avait besoin d'une 3ème place (ou mieux) pour passer devant Pauline Ado, a été certainement l'une des meilleures surfeuses de la compétition, en ne scorant jamais moins que 15.00 à chaque série.

    "Je suis tellement contente de remporter ce titre. Je ne pensais pas réellement au classement final, mais j'espèrais quand même remporter le titre européen en débutant la finale. C'est mon meilleur résultat en WQS. Les conditions étaient optimales pour moi, elles convenaient parfaitement à mon surf." nous commente Justine.

    Justine, actuellement 4ème sur le tour Pro Junior Europe, démontre une nouvelle fois qu'il faudra désormais compter avec elle pour les prochaines compétitions féminines.
    "Avec mes dernières victoires, je pense que finalement une carrière est possible, mais je reste tout de même focus sur mes études. Tout va bien pour moi en ce moment, j'en profite." nous confie Justine.

    Justine, qui participe aux circuits shortboard et longboard en même temps, avait déjà réalisé un vrai exploit en 2007 en terminant 2ème aux Championnats du Monde ASP Women's Longboard.
    A seulement 17 ans, Justine succède à Lee Ann Curren (FR) et signe aujourd'hui une autre très belle performance dans sa prestigieuse carrière.

    Très beau résultat également pour Pauline Ado qui partira avec Justine à Narrabeen en Janvier prochain pour la finale internationale.
