Recognized by his peers as the best bodyboarder in the world today.

Pierre-Louis Costes was born on January 25th, 1990. He started bodyboarding in Morocco before moving to France to refine his skills surfing Hossegor’s infamous beach breaks. He exploded onto the world stage in the late 2000s after a long trip to Australia, finishing as the runner-up at the 2009 Pipeline event. Pierre-Louis Costes has been riding for Pride Bodyboards since 2011 and has won both of his World Titles riding his own template: The Answer. He's been dominating the world ever since, boasting the 2nd most career event wins (17 wins), with only Tamega having more wins (25 wins), while Jeff Hubbard (16 wins) and Mike Stewart (15 wins) follow closely behind. The movie "Decem" recaps Pierre's 10-year relationship with Pride. Pierre continues to uphold his reputation as the most technical rider ever.
