Jeremy Flores was born in Madagascar and grew up on Reunion Island.  He has been surfing every day since the age of 3 under the guidance of his father Patrick Flores who, over the years, has played a major role in Jeremy’s development as a competitive surfer. Jeremy and his family have spent long periods of time in Australia on Sydney’s Northern beaches, whole summers in Europe and notched up a string of seasons in Hawaii. Jeremy maintained his academic commitments through correspondence schooling and still found time to surf the amazing surfing venues of the globe. This worldly young surfer has had an unconventional upbringing but it has enabled Jeremy to experience life in different countries and cultures and has helped him to feel totally at ease on the World Tour. 

His career and personality are exceptional in more ways than one. Jeremy is not only the youngest surfer ever to break into the professional elite of world male surfers, but during his first year on tour he was the only European in the Top 45 of the ASP World Tour traditionally consisting mainly of Australians, Americans, Brazilians and South Africans.  Did this leave Jeremy feeling slightly isolated? Apparently not.  Jeremy kicked off the 2007 season with an impressive 9th place at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, Australia.  This set the tone for what was to follow, as he went on to eliminate 8-times World Champion Kelly Slater at the Billabong Pro Teahupoo Event and then finished 3rd at the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles.  His great results earned his ‘Rookie of the Year’ title and a 9th place finish on the ASP World Tour.  Jeremy started strongly in his 2008 season with a huge 3rd place at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast and he remains comfortably in the Top 10 of the world’s best surfers with a 3rd place at the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles and a 2nd place at Hang Loose Pro Santa Catarina (best result in his career).

Nowadays Jeremy spends a lot of his off time at his new house in Capbreton France. It has been the testing ground for many of his boards that he has developed over the years with his shaper Mark Phipps. The Jeremy Flores surfboard model is the result of years of research and development undertaken during Jeremy’s growth years – in terms of his physique, surfing abilities, and maturity. The Jeremy Flores model is a high performance board catering for those seeking to advance their surfing to a more critical and extreme level.

Being of a highly driven nature and a very passionate competitor he is showing the world that he plans to make a long and fruitful career out of competitive surfing. Jeremy is, without doubt, well on his way to fulfilling his ambition to become a World Champion surfer.
