Gabriel Medina took off under priority and pulled a clean alley-oop to jump out in front during his Semifinal clash with Californian Kolohe Andino.
Medina was the only surfer to find a ramp in the tricky offshore conditions during the Semis, again showcasing his uncanny ability to adapt to whatever the French beachbreaks offer. Medina's been the most dominant CT surfer in the Quiksilver Pro France for six years running.
