A big first day for our team
- Lou was first to hit the water in Round 1. Consistent and focused, he rode his way up to Round 5, scheduled to start today from 11:30 AM.
- Charlie also started in Round 1 and advanced to Round 3 after taking second place in her Round 2 heat. Her run ended there, but she’ll be back in Slalom today with great momentum!

- Malo won his opening heat and advanced directly to Round 5. Solid and dialed in — definitely one to watch this season.
- Bastien made it through Round 4, landing a decisive final trick to lock in his spot in Round 5.
