Day 1 of the Quiksilver Pro France experienced the full range of conditions that French beachbreaks are renowned for, completing the twelve heats of Round 1 in everything from slabbing barrels to high-performance peaks. The world’s best surfers performed in spectacular fashion, with dramatic tuberiding and horrific wipeouts taking center stage.<br /><br /><br />Mick Fanning reigning ASP World Champion and defending Quiksilver Pro France Champion, was a standout, netting the highest single-wave score of the day, an 8.33 out of a possible 10, with an excellent forehand barrel. Jordy Smith current ASP World No. 2, surfed a solid Round 1 heat, dispatching of Luke Stedman and Julian Wilson with a flurry of barrel rides.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/mick_fanning_Joli_FV1042_copie.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Quiksilver Pro France 2010 - Highlights Round 1" title="Quiksilver Pro France 2010 - Highlights Round 1" width="150" height="90" alt="Quiksilver Pro France 2010 - Highlights Round 1"/>
