Biography

Michel Bourez started surfing in French Polynesia at age 13.[2] European champion in 2006, Michel entered the ASP World Tour in 2009.

His best results on the World Tour came in 2014, with a 5th place in the overall classification, having won twice during the year: at Margaret River Pro 2014 and Rio de Janeiro and 3rd place in Fiji Pro.

His 2015 season was hampered by a severe injury in May, when doing a free surf session at Teahupoo. A fractured hand and cervical vertebra forced him out of the Rio and Fidji events.

In 2016, he earned his 3rd career victory at the Billabong Pipeline Masters, final event of the 2016 World Tour, finishing 6th overall.
