Quiksilver lost an important part of the company just days ago. Pierre Agnes, Quiksilver’s chief executive officer, was out on an early morning boating trip never to return. His boat was found washed up on the French coast near La Graviere in Hossegor, an iconic world tour spot. After discovering the boat, French officials searched for Mr. Agnes in the hopes of finding him adrift. However, he was not found, and the search was just called off. The surfing world is saying goodbye to a most influential leader.

WSL 2017 Season is Underway
The World Surf League’s 2017 season is underway. This year, as in years past, the season starts with its Australia leg, beginning with the Quiksilver sponsored Snapper event. The Oz events to start the season off are Snapper Rocks first, won by Owen Wright this year, then Margaret River (a recent addition to the tour), won by John Florence, and finally, Bells Beach, which is yet to be determined. The Bells event is currently on stand-by. The waiting period is from the 12th through the 24th of April. After the Australian leg, the boys head to venues in Brazil, Fiji, South Africa, Tahiti, California, France, Portugal, and lastly Hawaii. This should be another interesting season packed with big airs and deep barrels.
