Profile for Johanne Defay

jdefay Action Sports Athlete

Following a very similar path to fellow countryman Jeremy Flores, Johanne Defay grew up surfing on Reunion Island before moving to France for her formative competitive years. In 2013, she won a whopping five WSL Pro Junior events before embarking on her maiden season on the �CT, where she ascended steadily to finish the season at #8 and Rookie of the Year honors. In 2015, she built on a telltale Semifinal result at the Fiji Pro by achieving her first CT victory, the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing, to finish the season in the #8 spot once again. This year, the reigning bridesmaid won the Fiji Pro. She�s currently sitting pretty at the #6 spot on the Jeep Leaderboard.
