The windsurfers were competing in the Red Bull Storm Chase Championship as they surfed huge waves in Cornwall.
French windsurfer Thomas Traversa was crowned champion after winning the third and final round of the series of the competition.
The competition was organised to coincide with the fourth major storm of a very active Atlantic season, with waves reaching 35ft (10m) in a 19 second period.
The high tides and strong winds have caused widespread flooding across the south west of England, with the Environment Agency have issued 350 flood alerts and warnings so far.
