The journey of a champion, the wisdom of a mentor

Speaker : Jeremy FLORES

An iconic figure in French surfing, Jérémy Florès made history with his victories at the highest level before making an exemplary transition to coaching, becoming head coach of the French national surfing team. Alongside Dave Mailman and Nicolas Dazet, he will look back on the key moments of his career: his exploits on the Championship Tour, his strategic role at the 2024 Olympic Games in Tahiti, and his successes as coach of Les Bleus.

This discussion will also touch on a subject close to his heart: mental health in high-level sport, a theme he shares candidly in the documentary Strong. Jérémy will also revisit his film Dos au Mur (Canal+ Docs, 2025), produced by the Kardasik team, which traces his career, his accident, and his brain surgery, and bears witness to his resilience.

An inspiring opening lecture, at the crossroads of performance, human engagement, and transmission.
