Surfing: Johann Androt, French Champion

Following in the footsteps of Noé Lédée, the Ajoe Reefer Surf Club now counts a new 2026 French champion among its ranks. That champion is Johann Androt, who won the title in the over-35 category at the Masters held on November 5 and 6 in Basse-Pointe, Martinique.
At the Pwent-Sonn spot, Johann Androt prevailed with the highest total score across the five finals (16.17 points), thanks to two waves scored at 8.67 and 7.50. Philippe Claverie took second place, ahead of Geoffrey Mallet and Thomas Chevon. Androt succeeds Thomas Bady, the 2025 champion at La Torche.
Another Reefer club member nearly rode the champion’s wave. In fact, competing at over 40 years old, Jonas Brin missed the gold by a hair. He finished second behind Adrien Rapp (14.34 points in the final) with 10.53 points.
At over 50 years old, Mario Lédée must still be wondering why the mastery he displayed in the semifinals deserted him in the final. To reach the final round of the competition, the Saint-Barth representative posted the two best scores of the entire event, with a 9-point wave and a total of 16.73 points. Unfortunately, in the final, he had to settle for fourth place behind Olivier Salvaire, Xabi Lafitte, and François Gouffrant.
