Volcom TCT Hossegor and WSL Biscarrosse Pro Junior
[vimeo id=”166721823″ align=”center” maxwidth=”800″]
Despite the bad forecast, the event was a blast ! More than 200 Kids signed up to the contest and enjoyed two days of small but playful Hossegor waves.
As some had to secure their spot for the TCT global Championships in Lower Trestles, California, there was some pressure on some surfers and the level of surfing and competitiveness was at its max…
Surfers from Portugal, Spain, Italy and Canary Islands made the trip to France and had to compose with all top French locals and regulars, which made for a big Euro surf gathering.
The tension and competition was fierce in the water but beach games and usual shenanigans kept the spirits high and jolly.

Surfers Battled It In Challenging Conditions At The Rumblefish Surf Series In Portugal
The Rumblefish surf series went down for the first time on the beaches of Costa Da Caparica in Portugal during Easter (March 28-29).
The event was the 3rd European stop of Volcom’s Totally Crustaceous Tour and happened right after a Pro Junior contest so the Junior division (16 & under) was packed. The conditions on Monday were unruly so the contest was called off, forcing organizer to run a double bank on the Tuesday.
An international field of surfers from Portugal, Spain, Canary Islands and France battled it all day on the waves on offer: Juniors and Pro Am were surfing on podium one with a fun left reform on the inside and an occasional righthander, while Groms, Girls and Squids surfed a right reform on podium two that was doubling up at times with a good section to hit.
Check out the photos below for a better taste of all the action that went down.
The Mulletfish in Hossegor (23-24 April) will be the last European TCT event of the season and will decide all other qualified surfers for Trestles!
See you in Hossegor!

Volcom TCT Tenerife - Lava Fish
Volcom TCT Tenerife – Lava Fish El Roquete, 27-28 February 2016
The natural arena of El Roquete is such as great spot to have a surf contest, surrounded by volcanic cliffs, a small harbor and old buildings, you instantly feel the special vibe of the Canary islands.
This past weekend saw all types of surf conditions hit the spot for Volcom’s TCT Lavafish surf series; from small windswell to big groundswell, glassy, offshore, onshore, sun, rain. The spot holds it all and each heat was filled with waves.
Over 130 competitors signed up from the islands and the continent, looking for some good times, warmer water temperature and qualifying points for the global TCT Champs in Lower Trestles.
For some of them, it was their first surf contest experience or chance to show their skills and surf against seasoned competitors, or even just a good reason to gather with their mates.
