A historic Quik and Roxy Pro ended today on the shallow waters of La Graviere, with Jeremy Flores becoming the first Frenchman in history to win on home soil and Hawaiian Carissa Moore moving a little closer to her fourth title.

The event started in La Nord and ended in La Graviere, today 16 heats were held that ended with the champions being crowned.

Now the tour continues in five days in Portugal.

Below are the best photos from the final day.

Ace Buchan was the executioner of Gabriel Medina in the round of 16, with that backside attack he sent the leader home.
Ryan Callinan lost in the quarterfinals against Jeremy Flores but he must have been happy to have made it through this French cavern.
The show got really interesting for the audience on the beach when they moved from La Nord to La Graviere. At no other spot on the tour can you see everything so well from the sand.
Italo Ferreira is fighting for his place in the Olympics, for the world title and to get out of this tube. He is a machine.
He almost landed this alley oop but the shorebreak slapped him.
Fioravanti staged one of the best comebacks from injury in recent memory, placing third and beating Slater along the way at one of the events where the GOAT had shown his best form.
Flores earlier today at La Nord, getting into the rhythm for what was to come next.
This is what would come next: The first Frenchman in history to win a CT in France.
When he wins, Flores brings out all his energy and it shows.
The audience ended up singing La Marseillaise with the Frenchman, it was a magical moment.
Jeremy and Carissa, Quik and Roxy Pro champions.
Jack Freeston is a great talent who, when he connects with the conditions and his form, is one of the best in the world.
Larcomare was one move away from beating Freestone. He fell closing a right that he had maneuvered like in this photo, if he made the last move, he would have passed.
Occy, Caroline Marks, placed second and moved up to fourth in the rankings. She wants to go to Tokyo 2020 but has Carissa and Lakey ahead of her.
Carissa is in good shape to win her fourth world title.
And he celebrates it.
The waves were breaking at a good size all day long, as Lakey Peterson says.
