As a former winner of the Billabong Pro Tahiti it shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone that Jeremy Flores is one of the Championship Tour's best surfers out at Teahupo'o. Raised on the perfect left tubes of St. Leu on his native island of Reunion, Flores has a refined backhand tube riding technique and a fearless approach. He's always had a special affinity for the wave at the end of the road, and his performance in Round Two against his Quiksilver teammate Leonardo Fioravanti was no exception. With a 9.00 and a near perfect 9.77, Flores locked down the highest total heat score of the entire event by a wide margin.
