The French Surfing Federation announced, with the permission of her family, the death of Poeti Norac, who was a French longboard champion.
The young woman, who is believed to have been living in Australia for only a few months, is said to have died on the Sunshine Coast in southern Queensland, near Brisbane.
The circumstances of her death last weekend are, at this stage, unclear.
The federation said: "The surfing community has lost a family member, a beautiful person with a radiant smile, an artist on her big board and whose enthusiasm radiated in [the] Vendee [region] and everywhere else.
"A ceremony in tribute to Poeti will take place soon, the date and place of which we will communicate to you."
She had become a major player in French surfing, finishing runner-up in the national championships in 2018 and third in 2016.
The federation added: "Poeti took part in four national finals and boasted 10 French Cup victories, including the 100 percent girls one in 2017."
