There cannot be anyone on earth who appreciates good surfing that doesn’t appreciate the surfing of Jeremy Flores. It’s raw and controlled at the same time, powerful and fluid. It’s not hyperbolic to say that he is one of this generation’s best tube riders. And aside from Pipeline, there’s no place that suits his surfing like La Gravière.
“I have a special connection with La Gravière,” Jeremy Flores says. “I’ve been surfing there since I was super young, but I used to feel like I had a love/hate relationship with the wave. I would have so much fun free surfing there, but would seem to struggle in contests.”
But in October of 2019, Flores won the Quik Pro France. It was more than just a win, though — it was absolute domination of the field. It changed something in him. The talent was always there, but perhaps the self-confidence sometimes faltered. “Ever since I won,” he continued, “I feel like I have more of a supernatural connection to the waves here.”
Well, La Grav’s been doing its thing in a very real way for the last little while, and Flores is proving that supernatural connection is real.
