The Extreme Surfing Bandol club, the city of Bandol and Jonsen-Island are organizing the second edition of the Pro/Am surfing and bodyboarding Jonsen Island Néné Masters competition which takes place in the Mediterranean Sea.

Amateurs will compete against pro surfers on the emblematic spot of Néné in Bandol (Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur, France). The French event has a prize money up for grabs and two bodyboard divisions on hand: Junior and Open.

One of the international names already confirmed for this year is Amaury Lavernhe, 38 years old, winner of the 2022 edition and 2x world champion back in 2010 and 2014. Tim Higgins won the Junior Division last year. 

The Néné spot is known for being very challenging and one of the most savages in the Mediterranean: a reef slab at water level with a hollow right and a longer left favoring maneuvering. According to the locals, this is a unique show for the public thanks to the wave dynamics which is very intense and breaks very close from the rocks/beach.
