GWA Wave Winners 2024

Podiums and World Titles in Brazil

Multiple GWA World Champion Nia Suardiaz, still only 17, arrived in Ibiraquera directly from another event in Europe, but it didn’t slow her down. She clinched her first Wave contest win in a nail-biting final and locked in 2nd place in the annual GWA Wave ranking for the year.

Finn Spencer also delivered an impressive performance, finishing 5th in the Brazil event and securing 3rd overall in the GWA 2024 wave rankings—a fantastic close to an epic season!

Well done to both!

»I got here at the last minute and was super-stoked to make it, even with just two hours of sleep. I went straight into the water for the first heat of the day and had a lot of fun in these amazing waves and conditions!«
