GWA SURF-FREESTYLE BRAZIL - MEN
Seventeen-year-old Tomas Acherer delivered a show-stopping performance, scoring a perfect 10 for a “world-first” Double Backflip in the semi-final.
Tomas was on another plane. He casually threw down a couple of massive Innovation moves for 9.80 and 9.30 early in the piece - definitely the twins had the most innovations from all in this event
We are watching Tom and Aleks the last three years and recently promoted the two in the international team - so stoked and way to go!
