The WSL's cancellation of the 2020 CT due to COVID-19 and enhancements to the 
2021 CT have led to a significant restructuring of the 2021 Tour season, which 
has regrettably and understandably led to the CT not stopping in Hossegor, 
France in 2021. However, given their commitment to France and France's 
importance to global surf culture, Quiksilver and ROXY have worked with the WSL 
to secure the continuation of two decades of professional surfing in 
Nouvelle-Aquitaine by sponsoring a new Challenger Series (CS) event to occur in 
the region in the fall of 2021. Garry Wall, Quiksilver Global General Manager 
commented: "We were excited and relieved to be able to work hand in hand with 
the WSL to keep an annual world-class event coming to France's famed waves and 
beaches. We are all working in very uncertain and fluid times, but our 
collective commitment to France and Europe overall remains steadfast."

In addition to the support of the France CS event, Boardriders' brands are also 
sponsoring a number of other events in the 2021 CT season including the 
Billabong Pipe Masters on Oahu, the Maui Pro Presented by ROXY on Maui, the 
Quiksilver Pro G-Land in Indonesia, and the Gold Coast Presented by Billabong 
in Australia. Emilie Souvras, ROXY General Manager commented: "I am excited 
that the breadth of Boardriders' portfolio allows us to continue to support the 
development of surfing at a global scale, through both events like these, as 
well as sponsoring and showcasing our amazing athletes who compete in them."
