Nikki & G Fish in France

Nikki van Dijk and Georgia Fish have headed over to France to compete in the 6 Star Rated Swatch Girls Pro.

After a great start to 2012 on the Women’s Qualifying Series, Nikki is looking to consolidate her 6th position on the World Rankings.

Georgia loves the powerful French beach breaks, finishing in the quarterfinals at this event last year.

The girls didn’t have an amazing run in the tiny conditions, both Nikki and Georgia placed third in their respective round of 48 heats in the Star event.

In the Pro Junior division, Georgia was eliminated in the round of 48. Nikki went down in the round of 16.

Despite their less than ideal results, both girls have made the most of their time in Europe, to stay in touch with their latest movements, follow them on instagram!
