The first day of Olympic surfing in Paris 2024 took place in good waves of four to six feet and with good conditions all day long.

The best in the world had to deal with a sea that was at times inconsistent but at other times also remained active and sent one tube after another.

Below are the best photos taken by ISA's official photographers: Pablo Jimenez, Tim McKenna, Pablo Franco and Beatriz Ryder.

Ethan Ewing on his way to winning the first series of the day.
