All of us have seen the video in which Jeremy Flores being cheered on and carried by Kelly Slater and Leonardo Fioravanti after his session during WSL Men’s Championship Tour in Mexico, held last August.
At the age of 33 Flores took the decision to end an important chapter of his life, after fiveteen years, as a professional surfer: he gave up with the competitions on the WSL Championship Tour. We hear more and more about the difficulty of keeping up with the competition life: steady travel, time away from loved ones, pressure and stress. There are athletes who can’t stop competing, while others feel the need to stop when other priorities take over.
This event for Flores represented a long awaited dream, the victory of this title in his homeland. You have to be very determined to make your wishes come true and Flores did, as he wrote in an Instagram post: “The idea of making a living while surfing was a wild dream. The thing that motivated me the most was the people saying ‘you can’t’. Plenty of people trying to bring you down. My whole career I needed to hear this. Most people need to hear how good they are to find confidence to be successful. For me, what always got me fired up, was everyone who didn’t believe in me. Strange right? Still today I thank the haters for pushing me to be at my best. Never stop believing in your dream, get out there PROVE them wrong”.
Internationally renowned composer, pianist and producer, one would imagine Alberto Bof sitting at a grand piano. Bear Surfboards, however, found him in Liguria (Italy), surfing his home waves.
2023 WSL Championship Tour has begun and in the first two events of the season we have already witnessed incredible excitement.
For all lovers of surfing events, another stocked year has begun with the busy schedule of WSL competitions.
