Swatch Girls Pro France 2011

It's official! After closely assessing the sandbank conditions between Hossegor and Seignosse over the last couple of weeks, the beach of Les Bourdaines in Seignosse has been selected as the location for the second edition of the SWATCH GIRLS PRO France, the ASP 6-star Women's World Tour event running from 1st to 5th June.

12 best surfers on the women's tour at the SWATCH GIRLS PRO France

Close to 72 surfers come from the four corners of the globe and will be doing their utmost to make their respective countries proud in the hollow waves of Les Landes. All entered into this year's SWATCH GIRLS PRO France, the 12 top international surfers on the World Tour have responded to the call and spectators can expect to witness some of the best high performance surfing out there.

This 100% female leg of the tour is not only set to offer plenty of action, but also plenty of upsets. In fact, you can bet the handful of title contenders will be at the top of their game and all looking to strengthen their leads. 23-year-old Australian and four-time World Champion Stephanie Gilmore has got her work cut out for her, especially after fellow Australian title challengers 20-year-old Sally Fitzgibbons and 17-year-old Tyler Wright both claimed second and third finishes respectively at the recent WCT event in Rio.

Other contenders to watch closely throughout the contest will be the 20-year-old Hawaiian Swatch team rider Coco Ho, looking to uphold her family's surfing legacy, as well as the local 20-year-old favourite Pauline Ado.

Not to forget the gorgeous 21-year-old and part-time model Alana Blanchard and 27-year-old radical powerhouse Sofia Mulanovich, both of whom could also excel in the Les Landes beachbreaks. These are just a handful of names among all the surfers present at the event putting their style, technique and flow on show as they vie for the title.
