Rip Curl Challenge La Nord

At Hossegor Surf Club

Soorts-Hossegor

The Rip Curl Challenge La Nord only runs when Atlantic swell hits 3 to 4 meters, drawing elite chargers like Jérémy Florès and Nazaré veteran Éric Rebière to Hossegor's infamous shorebreak. It's a waiting game with no fixed date: when conditions align, the call goes out and the world's best drop in for a heavywater showdown.
