The Quiksilver Festival, which took place from September 21 to 29, 2024, once again transformed the beaches of Capbreton, Hossegor and Seignosse into a veritable surfing paradise1. This second edition brought together 24 of the world's best surfers, invited by the legendary Jérémy Flores, for an extraordinary competition.

An innovative competition format

The festival adopted a unique format, where surfers competed in teams of two. Each team had to shine in various themed sessions, ranging from the best maneuver to the best tube.5. This approach highlighted the creativity and versatility of the athletes.

Remarkable local performance

Surfers from the Landes region shone particularly brightly at this event. Joan Duru and Marc Lacomare demonstrated their mastery of the local waves, establishing themselves as true masters at home.7. Their in-depth knowledge of the spots undoubtedly played a crucial role in their exceptional performance.

A festival beyond surfing

The Quiksilver Festival wasn't just about surfing. The event also featured skateboarding competitions, concerts and film screenings, bringing the entire Landes coast to life for 10 days. This diversity attracted a wide audience, from surf enthusiasts to music fans.

The importance of equipment

Faced with sometimes difficult conditions, particularly on the first few days when the ocean was surprisingly calm, the importance of choosing the right equipment made itself felt. Surfers equipped with boards adapted to the changing conditions came out on top. For amateurs wishing to improve their performance, it's crucial to choose a board suited to their level and conditions.
