Surf-Freestyle U19 (Male)

We witnessed stunning action and incredible skills during the Freestyle competitions. In the semifinals of the hard-fought U19 boys' field, our Austrian rider Tomas Acherer scored a perfect 10 out of 10 with a sensational new triple combo, knocking out none other than Chris MacDonald! In the finals, Tom secured a spot on the podium. His twin brother Aleks and the British rider Charlie Loch were right on his heels, both finishing in 5th place.

The kid from the Netherlands gets great support from the experienced landsman and team rider Jelle Stoop whereas for Sam, son from the well-know Mr. Tricktionary Michi Rossmeier, coaching even is a family affair.
