Capbreton, awarded the “Ville de Surf” label by the French Surfing Federation, welcomed back the only French stage of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Junior from July 3 to 5, 2025. A return to the source for this premier event of the World Surf League’s Junior Europe Tour season, which showcases Europe’s best surfers under the age of 21.
Here’s a look back at the competition’s unique atmosphere: evening concerts, entertainment and Landes vibes all weekend long, to add to this anniversary year celebrating 60 years of surfing in Capbreton and 50 years of the Santocha Capbreton Surf Club.

It’s great to see a Junior pro back here in Capbreton, it’s a historic event. Many champions have taken part in this event, surfers who went on to become world champions. It really is an emblematic Junior event. It’s great to see it back here, on our beaches.
Naïa Monte – HSC – France
It’s great, especially as it’s at home, so we’re used to surfing these waves and we know the public. So it’s really cool.
Hugo Flori – Pirates Club Surf – France
I’m going to try to do my best. It’s an opportunity. I tell myself I’ve got nothing to lose but above all everything to gain and I’m going to do everything I can to try to win the competition.

I just try to give them the best advice so that they can be as well prepared as possible. You have to prepare well for a competition, and that involves nutrition, training on the spot, getting into a good rhythm, surfing the spot at several tides. All the little details you need to attack the competition in the best possible conditions.
Rudy Maréchal – Vice-President of Santocha Capbreton Surf Club
We’re in the year of the Santocha club’s 50th anniversary, so 50 years is a historic year.
We’re partnering with this Pro Junior to really get a good reception and make a good event out of this competition. Pierre Agnès (Quiksilver CEO who passed away in 2018) always dreamed of this competition, here in Capbreton. Pierre was Quiksilver, he was the Pro Junior, which at the time was at the Estacade. So he really always wanted to bring this project to Capbreton. We now have a Pôle Glisse dedicated to his name. Inside, there’s the club, coastal rescue and everything related to gliding at Santocha. So for me, for the club, it’s very important that Pierre’s image remains anchored there and that we continue to do everything he wanted to do here in Capbreton, for the young people, for the club and for the town of Capbreton.
