Somehow This Wasn’t Enough To Earn Maxime Huscenot A Spot In Snapt4

But it sure got us hot and bothered.

Well gotdamn, if this wasn’t a splash of ice water in the face after a 42-minute nap. 

Maxime Huscenot, as you probably know, is a French surfer who’s been hustling on QS for about a decade, with a few CT wildcards sprinkled in over the years (best result: 13th at the Quik Pro France in 2015).

In an effort to boost his profile internationally, Maxime submitted the above video for the Snapt4 wildcard. Despite it being one of the most well-rounded edits provided, Maxime failed to drum up enough support to crack the top-5. Guess he needed some celebrity endorsements…

Out of sheer appreciation for the surfing Maxime displayed in this three-minute heater, we asked if he’d be cool with us posting it on our channels. Maxime said yes, so here we are. 

Enjoy!
