Opening weekend of the La Torche Pro France sees action

The La Torche Pro France presented by Naish and Twenty-Nine is now officially open, as a weekend of Trials and extreme weather welcomed the World’s best to this beautiful corner of France. With a series of low pressure systems hitting NW France this past week, there was no shortage of waves for the opening day of the event, as the Trials got underway in solid surf as we saw 8 worthy athletes earned their spots in the Main event.

WIth around 10,000 people making it out to La Torche to watch the action go down, all the local car parks were full, as the Stand Up World Tour has now officially arrived in Europe. Make sure to watch the Day one highlights right here at www.watermanleague.com

Record storms to lead to ideal conditions for Main event
