Born in the French city of Bordeaux and surfing down the coast in Lacanau by 11, Justine Dupont was a natural on whatever she chose to ride.

A runner-up finish in the World Junior Championships in 2011 announced her arrival on the shortboard scene, and she quickly qualified for the Championship Tour later that same year. Injury cut short her major-league dreams, but it didn’t stop the silverware mounting up on her multi-disciplinary mantlepiece.
