In 2007, at the age of 18, Jeremy Flores became the youngest surfer in history to qualify for the ASP World Tour. He also became the third Frenchman and only the fourth European to ever qualify for the Dream Tour. However, this should come as no surprise for those who have followed the potential of Flores throughout his career. With winters spent surfing the powerful reefs of Reunion Island and summers on the majestic coast of southwestern France, Flores had the ultimate environment in which to improve his innate ability to read waves, enhance his fantastic technical capabilities and develop as a solid heat strategist.

Inspired by the likes of fellow Frenchmen Mikael Picon, Frederic Robin and Patrick Beven, Flores has stood out in the surfing world with his high-flying aerials and deep rail carves. He may have finished 85th on the 2005 WQS, but Flores blew the competition out of the water with a 1st place finish the following year. Finishing 8th on the ASP World Tour last season, Flores claimed the 2007 Rookie of the Year Award, and you can expect him to improve as he enters this season with his sights set on the Top 5 and beyond.
