Their story

Clément Roseyro, from Anglet in south-west France, came to big waves from an unusual place: he used to compete on the World Longboard Tour.

On 18 February 2025 he won the men's top award at the Nazaré Big Wave Challenge, a year after finishing second there, and took the team title with Nic von Rupp the same day. His board that day was made partly from recycled aircraft parts. The pair kept the team title in December 2025, by just 0.06 points.
