The Euro surf power couple par excellence. After missing out on ‘CT qualification by a whisker last year, Frenchman Joan is currently sitting in the fourth on the ‘QS. Maud Le Car, originally from the French Caribbean but now residing in Capbreton, is meanwhile battling it out on the women’s ‘QS; she’s 16th in the rankings at the moment but isn’t a million miles away from a qualification spot. Simultaneous power couple qualification isn’t out of the question, and wouldn’t that be something?
