Fifty kids shred with their heroes in south of France.
As part of the Surf With The Pros initiative started by Mick Fanning, fifty grommets in the Hossegor Surf Club got to surf and play ping-pong with pros like Bede Durbidge, Miky Picon, CJ Hobgood and Mick Campbell.
Says Mick Campbell: "These groms are pulling air reverses like we do re-entries, it's second nature for them. The standard in Europe is going to get pretty crazy when you've got 10-year-olds surfing like this now."
The event foreshadowed the Quiksilver Pro France which kicked off in Seignoisse today and runs until October 3.
