The Caraïbos Lacanau Pro gets underway on Day 1 with two rounds of the men's event completed in super fun, rippable two-to-three foot waves in Lacanau.
Stop No. 3 of 10 on the European Qualifying Series (QS), the QS1,000 Caraïbos Lacanau Pro is ON this week from August 16-21, 2022. One of the oldest stops on tour, Lacanau has seen the very best of our sport compete over four decades at Plage Centrale, and continues to attract huge fields of competitors as well as massive crowds every summer.
The European season is well underway now with two events completed in Galicia and Cornwall and surfers eye two more opportunities to rack up precious ranking points in their bid to qualify for next year's Challenger Series (CS).
The tour lands in Lacanau now, an iconic destination for surfers worldwide, that has seen professional events run since the 80s and continues to host some of the best surfers in the region and the world.
More than 150 athlètes are in town for the return of the Caraïbos Lacanau Pro to the WSL schedule after a two-year hiatus due to the global health crisis. They will be met by good conditions all week as competition gets underway this morning in lean, rippable two-to-three foot peaks and a building swell that should allow a full day of competition. The opening two rounds of men are scheduled to hit the lineup today.
