Pauline grew up in the heart of the Basque country where the ideal conditions have enabled her to develop an excellent technique. Pauline started competing from a very early age, surfing against older girls and boys. She made her way straight into the Rip Curl Team, winning the European championship in her category in 2004 and the French Open Championships in 2005. Her blond hair and angelic smile hide a little Basque lady with a very strong character. She doesn’t like to lose and therefore often tends to push her limits further and further to assure victory. After being the first European female rider to win the ASP World Junior Title in 2009, Pauline logically started her first WQS season. Only two years later, she’s now competing against the very best female surfers in the world on the WCT.
