Jérémy Florès loses a judgment against Sea Shepherd

The court had not given him the reason. The surfer Jeremy Flores was dismissed on Monday by the court of Dax, in the Landes, on his complaint of defamation against the activist canadian ecologist Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd association France for the statements relating to shark attacks to The Meeting.

The professional surfer of the Meeting, who lives part of the year on the south coast of the Landes, has also been ordered to pay 1000 euros compensation to the association for the protection of the oceans.

The shark attacks at the heart of debates
In February, after a new fatal attack by sharks, Jeremy Flores had paid tribute to the young bodyboarder died, on his account Instagram. A comment relayed by the icon of the surf to the 11 world titles, Kelly Slater, who had added that it was now necessary “to implement serious catch” of sharks on the island, as advocated long ago by the surfer French.
But shortly after, the champion american was ravisé in a letter sent to Paul Watson, in which it considered that ” to kill anything in the hope of a solution was not in line with the (s) philosophy of life “.
In a long editorial entitled “Kelly Slater is not an enemy of the sharks,” Paul Watson wrote that ” the cause of these frequent attacks is the fishing industry itself, so Flores and the French government are complicit in the circumstances that have seen 20 attacks since 2011, including 8 fatal “. This sentence, among others, has led to the procedure in defamation considered on 11 September by the court of Dax.

Radical Times on the Gold Coast


They came from every corner of the globe. Boardriders united by the mountain and the wave. Traveling from Australia, America, Indonesia, New Zealand, Mexico, Hawaii, France, Morocco, Tahiti and Spain. 16 frothed-out international grommets here to share the line up with their heros.

The future of Championship Tour surfing; Mikey Wright, Zeke Lau and Leo Fioravanti. Current World Title runners; Jeremy Flores, Matt Banting, Wiggolly Dantas and Kanoa Igarashi.

The legends of the sport; Matt Hoy and Mark Richards, here to make sure surfing still has rock & roll. Power surfers, big wave surfers, and skaters who are now committed surfers... all on Gold Coast shores.

They came to get stoked and feel the high. The same high we all get from the ocean. The one we get from the cheer of the crowd or the hoot of a friend down the line, just as we drop in. And although the salt has washed off, the scaffolding has been pulled down, and the crowds are returning to normal, the buzz is still here…they were some Radical Times.
