HUGHIE VAUGHAN LANDS THE FIRST PERFECT 10 OF THE 2026 QUIKSILVER FESTIVAL.

Hughie Vaughan’s signature mix of high energy and pure talent paid off today as he delivered one of the standout moments of the 2026 Quiksilver Festival. Taking off on a massive wave, the Australian Quiksilver rider landed an impressive air at La Nord, Hossegor – the first perfect 10 of the 2026 Quiksilver Festival, sending the crowd into a frenzy. He and teammate Kash Brown moved up on the leaderboard as a result, landing the two Australians in the first spot.

THE EVENT’S SECOND 10 FOR NOAH BESCHEN

The final heat of the day was undoubtedly one of the most impressive since the start of the competition – Hawaiian Noah Beschen went all-in on a highly committed manoeuvre, landed a complete rotation that was also rewarded with a perfect 10.
