Competition Format

 Each rider gets 8 trick attempts. The top 3 scores count towards a final score out of 30.

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!

Thanks to their 2024 rankings, Bastien, Malo, Clément, and Francesco went straight into Round 3:

  • 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.

  • Francesco showed power and commitment all the way to Round 4, where his run ended. He’ll be back soon in Slalom.

Clément, Malo, Bastien, and Lou are all set for Round 5 today. It’s going to be a show.
First possible start: 11:30 AM.
