It was an incredible first event of the GWA Wingfoil World Tour, and we were thrilled to have been able to crown our first event winners of the 2022 season in both Surf-Slalom and Surf-Freestyle!

An unusual final packed with sportsmanship! When Aleks Acherer broke his wing at the start of the heat, his brother Tom sacrificed his result giving his wing to Aleks to give him the best chance for the title! and it paid off 🫶🏼
