The Brazil Road Trip was meticulously planned together with the Acherer Twins, Aleks & Tom, their father Claus and Beat Stefan (Dr. Beat), a longtime friend of both families who also serves as a coach for the youngsters. All of them live in Tarifa and get along very well.

With a shared love for Wing Foiling, it became the ideal journey to not only indulge in their passion but also discover new spots together.

However, as the group found themselves together as a fantastic team, the idea of a road trip feature quickly emerged, and everyone embraced it with enthusiasm!

After the event, their journey continued along the North Shore to Taiba, Prea, and Jeri, presenting them with challenging conditions on certain days but ensuring lots of fun!

In Prea Erik Scheidt has joined the crew for a bit. The youngsters first connected at the Young Blood Invitational Camp in Tarifa back in October, and they hit it off.
