“I’m really happy to be back in France. It’s perfect timing for me with a World Championship Tour (WCT) event on in a couple of weeks and Swatch always does such a great job here,” said Coco Ho (HAW), currently ranked No. 10 in the world. “It’s a really strong field for the event and it’s always good to surf against all the girls here, not just the same 17 on the WCT. Plus the waves are usually great, so I’m super excited.” |

Let’s hope we get some waves.” |
