Turn the tables
In the Surfboard division the current world champion, Australia’s James Carew, is back from the injury he sustained right after he won the title last year in Tarifa, Spain. He will be hoping to repeat the win, but will be pushed hard by Italy’s Airton Cozzolino, among others.
Switzerland’s Camille Losserand holds the women’s Big Air Surfboard title, but France’s Capucine Delannoy has been working hard on her strapless freestyle and will be looking to turn the tables on her rival.
In the Hydrofoil Big Air title race, France’s Charles Brodel, leads the pack after a win at the first round in Sylt, Germany, in August. The five-times Hydrofoil world champion is in a league of his own but Lorenzo Casati, who is also entering the Big Air Surfboard contest, will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with.
In the women’s Hydrofoil division, Andrea Zust (SUI), was the highest placed woman in Sylt, Germany, when she competed with the men. But a fleet of five women are scheduled to battle in their own division in Jericoacoara.
