IN OTHER WORDS
At 18-years-old, Frenchman Jeremy Flores in the youngest surfer to ever qualify for the Foster¡¦s ASP World Tour. This accolade may seem lofty and impressive, but for those who have followed the sprightly natural footer¡¦s career, it¡¦s only a fair and expected evolution. Splitting his youth between the powerful reef passes of Reunion Island and the beachbreak perfection of France¡¦s southwest coast, Flores quickly developed into a marquee figure on the international stage. A freesurfing star in Quiksilver¡¦s Young Guns videos, Jeremy has also proven his competitive chops on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS). Following a respectable finish of 85th on the WQS in 2005, Flores smashed his way to a 1st place finish in ¡¦06. The Frenchman¡¦s futuristic blend of eye popping aerials and full rail carves will no doubt prove invaluable at the highest level of competition on the Foster¡¦s ASP World Tour this season as the rookie pits himself against the world¡¦s best.
