Twelve surfers have earned a spot in Round 3 of the 2015 Quiksilver Pro France. The first day of competition got underway in clean six-to-eight foot (2-2.5-meter waves) at Culs Nus, in Landes. The inaugural Round 1 heat brought the first surprise. Brett Simpson sent Kelly Slater to the dangerous repechage game. Both surfers ended up with the same total heat score, but the Californian had the highest-scoring wave. “It’s really fun; there’s peaks everywhere, and I was able to get two good waves. I almost made a mistake at the end, I had priority and Kelly got a wave, I made the decision not to go, and he almost got the score. I haven’t had much success as of late, and it feels great to get a win,” said Simpson.
