Boardmasters Highlights: Epic First Day of Action for QS Animal Pro!

The Boardmasters Open WSL surfing events kicked off today in a building swell and glassy conditions to run a mammoth day of competition. The QS1,000 Animal Mens and Womens Pro completed 52 heats to decide the events’ finalists, with high-performance surfing and large crowds enjoying a picture-perfect summer day at Fistral.

The Animal Womens Pro Final will feature the 2019 winner Yolanda Hopkins (PRT) up against Ariane Ochoa (EUK), Janire Gonzalez Etxabarri (ESP) and Laura Coviella (CNY). The Animal Mens Pro will have a new winner as none of the four Finalist have previously won at Fistral, the showdown between Bitor Garitaonandia (ESP), Thomas Ledee (FRA), Marco Mignot (FRA) and Jobe Harriss (GBR) promises fireworks!

Longboarders will kick off their BFGoodrich Longboard Pro campaigns super early Friday morning, and we could wrap both competitions by the end of the day tomorrow!

2018 Quiksilver Young Guns: The Surf Ranch Showdown

Somewhere west of the Mississippi River — and about 150 miles east of the Pacific Ocean — a group of Young Guns convened. There was Samuel Pupo from Maresias, Brazil, Jett Schilling from San Clemente, USA, Justin Becret from Seignosse, France and Marco Mignot, who’s from France but currently resides in Mexico.

There would be a showdown and one of these Young Guns was bound to win $10k.

The showdown used an innovative format that broke the wave up into different sections in order to emphasize airs, power surfing and big maneuvers instead of complete rides from start to finish. When you bring the world’s best teenage surfers to the world’s best man-made wave, fireworks are pretty much a guarantee.

Leonardo Fioravanti and Kanoa Igarashi watched every air, hack, tube and turn. They took notes. Then they thought long and hard. Then they picked the best surfer and handed them an oversized check.

So...how’d it all go? Hit play and find out.
