Pauline Ado was not born into a surfing family - but she was born of the generation where anything is possible. At the tender age of 8, Pauline asked her parents for a surfboard. She loved the feeling of being in the ocean and the challenge of taking on its ever-shifting moods. Ironically she hated competition at first. That is, until she started winning. Pauline was 10 when she scalped her first victory and it wasn’t long before sponsorship deals were flooding her mailbox and she was jetting off to exotic surf breaks to trade waves with her surfing idols. After a successful junior career where she clinched both the ISA world junior and the ASP world junior title, Pauline’s thirst for victory coupled with a flair for tactical surfing, has seen her pierce the Top Ten of the WCTin her rookie season. In 2011 Pauline set another benchmark by qualifying as the first ever European woman for a second year in the prestigious ASP World Tour.She says: “I try to surf with people better than me as motivation, to push me to grow. I watch some of the top girls and try to work out their strategies, what type of maneuvers score them the highest points, and then I build that into my own performances.” In 2013, she finished ranked 9th in the world for the second time in her career. In 2015, after 4 consecutive years on the top 17, Pauline fought back and requalified for the 2017 season. She clinched the ISA World title that year in her home soil. A title she had been chasing for several years. ​ In July 2021, one of her childhood dreams came true when she participated in surfing's very first Olympics in #Tokyo2020 ! This unforgettable experience made her hungry for more... ​ Pauline now has 2 main goals : get back on the World Championship Tour and represent France for the Paris 2024 Olympics in her home country ! ​ To be continued...

I was born in France (in Valence) but I arrived in Reunion Island when I was two weeks years old. I grew up there until my majority(18) before I moved to the South West of france where I’ve been living in Hossegor the last 12 years. I Started surfing in Reunion Island when I was 9 years old. Growing up on an Island It’s where the love of the ocean came from. I can’t be away of the ocean too long. It’s my passion, my life and where I want to be all the time. It’s my happy place, my peace place.
When I was around 12 years old,I decided that I wanted to be a professional surfer. I’ve been competing on the WSL circuit since my teenage year on junior level until I became World Junior champion in 2009(17) then starting the QS in 2010(18) trying to get to the Championship Tour. I finally reached my goal last year (2022 at 30) after 10 years of hard perseverance.
