Surfing at the Beach in St. Martin St. Maarten
St. Maarten
After more than 14 years of activity, the Windy Reef Center has become an icon of world and regional surfing. For the last two years, big international Wind and Surf labels have been turning their spotlight on the new energy in the islands and the team at St. Martin’s Le Galion Beach receives media attention on a weekly basis.
Since January 2007 there has been an increase in national competitio0ns in St. Martin and St. Barths as well as in Guadeloupe and Martinique. During several days, more than 75 riders, photographers and cameramen disembarked in St. Martin to cover the events, pushing the island into the big leagues of global surfing. It was the St. Martin Wave Show in 2007 which was one of the biggest surfing successes which brought more than 400 spectators to the Windy Reef Center.
The Quicksilver Waterboy’s and Girl’s Club for surfers under 16, also at Le Galion, hosted the King of the Groms international surf competition. St. Martin welcomed this prestigious qualifying series and Jean Seb has organized several competitions in the French Caribbean and has created a Caribbean riders team which will defend the brand and its clubs in the upcoming French surf championships.
