The final stage of the men's longboarding saw Quiver surfboards team rider and World Champion, Antoine Delpero, pitted against 2 other French heavyweights Remi Arauzo and Antoine's brother, along with a local competitor. It was a hard fought heat, "heavy" to hear it from Antoine Delpero, and the four Longboard specialists were hard to pick apart, but Antoine came out the clear winner. It wasn't uncommon to see four sets of feet on boards simultaeniously, much to the delight of the thousands of onlookers.
It was the older Delpero brother; Antoine, that turned up the heat. Opening with an 8.33 to get ahead of the field, Antoine managed a sturdy 17.26 over 6 waves. Champagne bubbles as standard, the four finalists ascended the podium to share congratulations and thanks.
